I am convinced half my country believes this chaos is a fun reality show. He will convince them they are winning until it’s their turn to lose.

Today's actions covered many bases:

1) Economic pressure through striking

2) A HUGE rally downtown

3) Civil disobedience at the airport

4) A direct confrontation at Whipple

5) Maintaining patrols/rapid response

All of this despite being the coldest day in SIX years - we've got this, Minnesota.

The idea that Trump's electoral victory means he wasn't guilty of the crimes he was indicted for is the real-life analogue of "I got more likes on Twitter so I'm right"

DHS and ICE are incompetent—but that doesn’t make them any less dangerous.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

Minnesota shifting narrative from "rabble rousing protesters" vs "law enforcement" to "people of conscience" vs "evil regime." This is essential to defeating authoritarianism - exposing who, what & why they are by demonstrating who, what & why we are.
And MAGA knows it.

Thousands of Minnesotans marched in downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE. The wind chill was 30 below during the march.

Hundreds of businesses closed their doors Friday in support of the protest as activists urged Minnesotans to abstain from economic activity.

"OK, quick follow up, do you realize when you say locking up a five-year-old coming home from preschool is 'making America a safer place' that normal people will think you're an insanely racist piece of shit?"
Q: Do you have any moral or ethical qualms about detaining a five-year-old on his way back from preschool?
