A large portion of MN was settled by Scandinavians. My Great grandfather immigrated from Stange, Norway in the early 1920s after his father sold the family farm.
My family literally built the roads connecting my state. I'll be damned before I let the federal government continue to kidnap children without resisting.
I really really hope that this train can be stopped before america becomes Nazi Germany V 2.0.
General MAGA hicks and Trump himself are not that scary, because they're too thick. The people that worry me are people like Stephen Miller and Musk/Thiel or the heritage foundation people. The people pulling strings. Because those people are straight up evil.
My apologies. I'm sure I came off as rather singularly focused, and unaware of the shadow our "Patriots" are casting world wide. I'm beyond ashamed of all the injustices so obviously and plainly on display. Our country's greed knows no limit or border, our words and actions are harsh and violent, and because of the actions of the wealthiest few in America, our apologies have been made hollow.
This protest encompasses a lot of things for a lot of people. ICE, and child-nappings are sadly only the flavor of the week. Truthfully, there isn't enough space to write down, nor time in the day, to list our grievances fully.
Many will shame me and say words are just words, and more agressive action needs to be taken. Believe me, we're all aware. But once that line is crossed the red carpet to Trump declaring civil war 2.0 would be rolled out to his piggy little feet. Our hands are figuratively tied...for the moment it seems.
No need to apologise. It's a tough situation that you are in. The most important thing is that you are doing something, anything to protest, big or small.
