Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism.

All those Europeans who definitely think Trump is Hitler and aren't just mad that he's parking tanks on their front lawn? Here's your chance to get him! Show us how much that vaunted "international law" is real!
Without America, "right now, you'd all be speaking German" Trump tells an audience in Switzerland.

Today I talked with police chiefs from across the metro area. This isn’t just happening in Mpls and St. Paul. The 3000 ICE agents are in the suburbs and across our state. The surge is disrupting the work of local law enforcement.

Additionally, being overly dramatic over one another's discomfort is how you gas them up to be more hysterical. It's proven with animals and children and also adults. Sometimes you are made uncomfortable and just gotta brush it off and be an adult, especially online.
Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

While everyone is watching Minnesota, ICE is still terrorizing other communities in other places & I know it's not a contest but those places deserve attention too. Everyone is looking north while our border with Mexico is being terrorized as well.

There's still a lot of work to be done in combating the scourge of corporate compliance with fascism.

But the next time a business gets a chance to become a regime puppet, they're likely to think twice because of your organizing.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

i am not unfamiliar with how law enforcement operates but man it is really something to see regular people digging through what very much looks like the gear of an organized crime syndicate
Another vehicle opened. Back was full of license plates, gear, various fed patches.

This dude, indeed, rules. I guess he’s an influencer of some kind, but I feel like so many people are, more or less. out there yelling “shoot me, bitch.” Every single threat and warning from an ICE agent is just met with greater disdain and more people in the street telling them to fuck off.
