I’ve replaced all of my Target shopping with Ax-Man Surplus.
“They believe devoutly in the power of violence and do not comprehend the power of nonviolence. They understand the power that the state has but do not understand the power that civil society has.”
For many in the Trump regime it seems incomprehensible or a scam of sorts that those not categorically under attack by ICE are so committed to solidarity with their neighbors who are, and thereby to universal human rights, to standing up on principle, and will risk their lives to do so.....

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

it’s unbelievable to me people still think there is time for formalities like this once ice is on you
Chip Roy: "As someone who carries a weapon in TX, if I'm in front of law enforcement or if I get stopped, I tell them that. I tell them that I've got a concealed carry permit. I show them my ID. I tell them where the weapon is bc that's what we're supposed to do. That's not what I think I saw here"

We're not finished here
Don't walk into that light
We can't let them hear
Hear us screaming for our lives
We don't play fair
No, we don't play at all
We walk the edge
And never fall

We broke our bones
And we sank like stones
We drank our toast
Here's to never coming home

when I had an ectopic pregnancy and emergency salpingectomy, afterward all I could think about was My Huong’s curry chicken noodle soup. I got my restorative soup and she threw in free pudding.

everyone here has stories like this about these places. this assault on minneapolis is devastating.
This summer, my family went to My Huong Kitchen on Eat Street and my toddler grandson couldn’t have been treated better by the proprietor. Yesterday, she displayed all her humanity provided refuge and car to teargas victims. youtube.com/shorts/XxFvg... Give her your business! myhuongkitchen.com

I'd like popularism a lot better if they could read polls.
YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents**

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.

there is some level of gleeful participation in state-sponsored brutality at which i think people forfeit their humanity. this isn't banality of evil stuff, people "just doing their jobs." they enjoy it. they only understand and respect physical violence and terror

Minneapolis police are falling back, shooting tear gas canisters at the entire neighborhood exactly the way that ICE agents do. In these situations, there is no meaningful distinction between ICE and the local police. Demonstrators are attempting to protect each other by throwing back the canisters.

as someone living in minneapolis, this made me cry

sometimes it feels glib to say, “we’re going to win” but when I see the indomitable human spirit all I think is, “we’re going to win”. they will never crush us all.

The easiest way to identify fellow transplants is to see who’s willing to take the last cookie. It’s hard work, but someone has to do it.
At the end of the day there was one last cookie that no one would take. I LOVE YOU, MINNESOTA!

how am I supposed to believe in any of this anymore? how am I supposed to ever believe again me and my neighbors have unalienable rights from what I have seen and experienced here in Minnesota? how would I ever trust this again with what I have seen with my own two eyes?
Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.
