Hmm it says “Opinion piece” so is this factual reporting a speculative musings?
Headline sounds like investigative journalism, but it’s labeled as an opinion piece…
Either way fuck UHG.

Nah. I wish he would actually do useful shit like this regularly and not be entirely focused on his self fellating and terrorizing the citizenry of Minnesota.

I’ve been begging the fates that I’ve been wrong about it from the very beginning, while having a sickening certainty within myself that it was absolutely true.
It’s been a miserable decade.

Gotta be honest. The amount of significant events that have happened in the last decade in my state/city for basically all of my adult life has nearly made me believe in solipsism.
Nothing is supposed to happen here! We’re just midsized metro. I must be hallucinating a storyline central to me!

Yeah. I’ve been lucky so far to not have a conversation with anyone about it IRL at work so far. Just reminding myself. “Not losing my job, not losing my job. Losing my job will not fix anything.”

Did I say I do? We’re just talking here.
But my skepticism I feel is warranted.
When in history has a fascist regime ever fallen without violent action? To me, all that history has proven is that the longer things go on the more entrenched it is.

I hope riding it out works out. But I’m not too certain anymore. This last week has completely broken my faith in normal methods. Especially after nearly a decade of constant erosion.

I have great respect for Dr King, however…
We’re not dealing with a normal government. Those tactics make the assumption that there is a sense of humanity to appeal to amongst this government. We are now under a full on fascist authoritarian regime with no guardrails or norms.

And that’s what i’m saying. We are just suppose to lay down and die?

And they’re just killing people like rabid dogs for that too.

But how will we do that when they’ve already signposted and indicated that they will not accept any concept of losing?

The abolitionists had to pay in blood to stop slavery. It was not peaceful protest sadly.

They are already murdering and hauling people away. It’s only accelerating.
My fear is that the window for any sort of meaningful resistance is closing.
Especially when our lawmakers have abdicated their duties and given ICE an even bigger budget this year.

You may be right, but I think we need to start taking a hard look at the reality of this last year with Trump in office. This administration is repeatedly steamrolling over every norm and law that is an inconvenience to them.
Compliance is not protecting our ever eroding rights. So what will?

3 people have been killed by ICE in the last 24 hours and this fucking guy is more interested in condescending to people from his high horse made of excrement.

lol and who the fuck are you? You’re just being a cunt on the internet to people who are looking for some actual hope from the people we elected to lead and protect us.

We need LEADERS. Leaders who will actually organize and devise a response to end the federal government’s terror campaign. Random people acting on their own is just pissing in the wind.
I’m not asking for someone to do something “for me”. I’m looking for organized leadership to set a course.

I like Tim. But we need more than nice words at this point. I’m not saying we need violence. But we need tangible action to stop and impede the tyranny.

I don’t either! But it’s starting to feel like our path is becoming more and more narrow. They intend to grind blue states into dirt and I fully believe that they wouldn’t be so brazen if they thought they were actually at risk. Right now they think they can just have their way with the public.

I guess we wait to see what comes of the 2026 elections. But if those are ratfucked and there is no action taken by congress. Then we are running out of options. These sickos are trying to dominate us and laughing about it. They think this shit is funny. To degrade our people.
