this thread <3
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Why doesn't Walz have the National Guard protecting people from ICE? And why hasn't Frey ordered the MPLS police to protect people from ICE?

ICE is not a police force. They are only authorized for immigration action. Arrest them for anything else.

Unsurprisingly, turns out Henry Ford did not invent the assembly line: "[He] is generally regarded as the father of mass production. He was not. He was the sponsor of it." - Charles E. Sorensen, worked at Ford for 40 years. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembl...
