Nope. Son of Holocaust survivor. My father was 11 when the Nazis invaded his hometown in eastern Poland. He survived only by fleeing to a different city with a false baptismal certificate. The comparison is apt. Carry on.

Some residents in Minneapolis felt that, without their observation, nobody would be holding ICE accountable. “We have a paramilitary force in our city acting beyond the Constitution consistently,” one volunteer said. www.newyorker.com/news/dispatc...

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

This isn’t “Democrats’” job. Enforcing federal criminal law is DOJ’s job. ICE/ERO handles civil removals. This sounds like agencies Trump runs can’t perform the mission without putting people in harms way.
Trump’s demands of Minnesota and Minneapolis - still blaming Dem leadership in the state for the chaos and death his regime has caused. Doesn’t sound promising.
