I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

One small thing I hope comes out of this nightmare is at least renaming the Department of Homeland Security. “Homeland” is not a word Americans use. It sounds like a translation from Heimatsicherheitsabteilung.

Also, don’t buy a water balloon launcher off of Amazon, because then you might be able to splatter the goons—I mean brave ICE stormtroopers—from 500 yards away. You shouldn’t use oil paint either. It’s harder to get out. Or vegetable oil.
👏 👏 water balloons ftw!

This is going to be a really fun show! All of us play (or have played) together in various combinations for the better part of 25 years. So this is something of a family reunion. #philly #country #bluegrass #oldtime

I will not vote for any candidate that wants anything other than abolishing or dramatically reining in ICE.

They are canceling youth sports across the city in Minneapolis this weekend because lawless masked armed federal paramilitaries are targeting the children and families.

Shun them. Exercise your right to refuse service.
ICE agents ate at El Tapatio in Willmar, MN, then came back hours later and detained the workers who served them. Turning a meal into surveillance isn’t public safety it’s intimidation. Remember private businesses can refuse service to ICE agents!
ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then detain workers
“Would your mama be proud of you right now?” a bystander said as agents returned at closing time to nab the workers.

Seeing the Minneapolis community stand against #ICE thuggery gives me a lot of f-ing hope!

I really have nothing but disdain for the farmers who voted for Trump. Once is a mistake, three times you’re just a shit-for-brains.
As 47’s trade wars continue, farmers are hurting. The US government is no longer fostering a global agricultural market in which American farmers enjoy a trade advantage.
Hard to predict what happens next, but our farmers are not sanguine.
No pay wall.

American farmers, who once fed the world, face a volatile global market with diminishing federal backing
The US government used to have American farmers’ backs, but that support has been dwindling for decades. New subsidies signal big changes for farmers.
