When did police start dressing like Fortnite characters? And what is camouflage good for in a city?
Dress is a form of speech and we need to pay attention to the message we’re being sent.

Terrifying they are just getting started...we haven't seen nothing yet
Congress is debating whether to give DHS additional funding for immigration enforcement, but ICE and CBP have only spent a fraction of its staggering budget – much of it on a violent crackdown on immigrants and protesters. Here are the numbers. 1/23

This is the time to start telling America what you'd be doing with the $170 billion Republicans want to spend on terrorizing Americans, kidnapping neighbors, and filling concentration camps.
Whatever issue you're for, your constituents will want much more than that.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.
If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

I hate hope but read this thread anyway.
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.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

On Trump's potential invocation of the Insurrection Act in Minnesota.
Important:
President Trump's own Solicitor General in a recent letter to the U.S. Supreme Court explained the dangers of sending in active military forces, and how it could make matters much worse.
Let's discuss.

Why does DHS keep telling you false information on Minnesota about:
- what they mean by "criminal" immigrants
- the legal standard for arrests
- what the Supreme Court has said
Also, what implications does this have for Insurrection Act?
Preview below of 1st issue. Full video next in thread.

loved reading all the comments! there's even a history thread about the civil war and minnesota
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

I'd love for the news media to learn the difference between "lashing out" and "fighting off the attack"
Video circulating online alleges an ICE agent sprayed a 15-year-old girl in the face with pepper spray in Minnesota. The girl appears to panic and lash out before her mother intervenes, yet agents still threaten arrest. Her mother then guides her to the car to go to the ER.
