For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank!

The United States Military has been using video games as propaganda tools for decades. They MADE video games for a time, with links to recruitment sites, stating they wanted to target teens to drive up recruitment numbers.
Call of Duty has become an extension of this.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

The reactions to the footage in Minnesota seem neatly split between two camps: whether you are able to watch and process a video of a tragedy and accept it as such or whether you’re a fan of murder.

It's time to stand up to ICE, white supremacists, and the billionaire oligarchy.
