I really do not understand why some people’s (and they’re primarily academics) response to “ICE is the modern day Gestapo” is “well actually, ICE is modern day slave patrols”

like, who fucking cares?? ICE must be destroyed, spend more time focusing on that than scolding people who agree with you

Good. The US does not need to be allied with the dictators of the world.
Setting aside the fuzzy question of what does or doesn't need Senate treaty ratification, the "Board of Peace" doesn't seem to be an agreement to which the United States as such is a party at all. It's just in his personal capacity as some random guy.

ICE chases a young boy out of his house as he screams “I’m legal!” In Spanish.

It’s freezing in Minnesota. This kid is desperately trying to cover his bare hands as he’s shoved in the snow.

He could end up with frostbite in a matter of minutes.

The masked thugs don’t care.

Abolish ICE.

So there's at least one thing we should learn from Europe.
Old Europe. New Backbone.
A lesson in standing up to bullies from across the pond.

Also. The incel who controls them with a wireless remote needs a bedroom or a couch he can crash on. And a daily supply of Red Bull and some cool ranch Doritos. Cool thx bye

Hard to convey how much you can tangibly feel the love and care for one another people are showing here in Minneapolis. Even in the few days we’ve been here more businesses have come on board with the strike and we've met people from every walk of like doing the work to keep each other safe.

20 million Americans can’t afford health insurance-and Republicans refuse to help them

Meanwhile, this is what ICE is doing in Minnesota-and Congress is currently considering a bill to fund these thugs

It already passed in the House

The Senate must hold firm

Fund healthcare
Not ICE

He's far from perfect but Carney is able to speak to the gravity of the moment with an earnestness, clarity, and dignity few others can muster. He's a serious person. Cometh the hour, I suppose.

One thing that's becoming clear about national reaction to the Minnesota protests is other Americans don't understand how desolate, cold, and empty the upper Midwest gets this time of year. The federal government gave people with nothing to do for the next three months something to fucking do.
I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

I don’t know how you see an occupying army using fort snelling as its headquarters, fort snelling, the site of a 19th century concentration camp supporting a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Minnesota, and think that we don’t need to talk history.
