"We are out there in every place they are, showing them that every person in this city is one of our own, that there is no such thing as other people’s children, that collectively we are not afraid of staring them in the eye," @erikhane.bsky.social writes from Minneapolis.
There is no such thing as other people’s children
It is intolerable

Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.
Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

We should have a general strike until the constitution is respected and the construction of concentration camps ends.

People need liberty and justice for all. That's just common sense.
We should have a four day work week.

There’s no reason that with all our technological advances, we are still holding on to a five day work week.

People need more time to rest and socialize. That’s just common sense.

In the end, it is usually radicals who lead moderates, despite all the denigration those radicals face from said moderates. That is largely true then and it is largely true today.

This is a very important video to watch. Thank you Ashley the Barroness. One comment from IG was America isn’t becoming Germany. America is becoming America. That really hit home for me. Watch this! Be uncomfortable.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

There is video. We all saw a murder. There is no need to wait.
We demand the murderer arrested NOW.
We demand ICE is abolished NOW.
Let's wait for the facts to come out and demand ICE/CBP end their terror.
