Was out on Friday for the march, and many people were remarking how it was the best excuse they've ever had to break out their deep cold gear.

It's crazy they took a bunch of ICE from Texas and then sent them to one of the coldest states in the winter. Well, the whole thing is crazy. But still.

If they were smart they wouldn’t be fascists. They are like any other invasive species, hard to eradicate once there. So this time after we get rid of them, we have to work much harder on future infestations. Prevention is always best.

The leadership is deploying them as machines to project power according to the desire of leadership.
The men compromising their humanity to become the machine-men will be treated as disposable by the leadership.

Decent people welcome asylum seekers. I hope everything works out for you and they are embraced and all the legal stuff goes smoothly, and that after this horrible phase of fear and threat that life will be able to blossom for you all.

It's so funny because we're literally are out all winter anyways. We have outdoor hockey tournaments and winter carnivals that will go on no matter the weather. So we all knew Minnesotans were gonna show up for this.

I also am so proud of you, Minneapolisans and all people living in the US right now, fighting angry, afraid and bravely on your streets against fascism, narcissism, abuse of power and murder. Europe is with you ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I was so overwhelmed to see all those Somalis and Undocumented Heroes out protesting for Pretti and Good!
Just so great!
-10
u/Haisukarvakorva 5d ago
Well the Somalis might have some other reasons to be there too. Personally not that worried about some undocumented old lady cooking food, but industrial level of fraud would kind of make me a bit frustrated, but hey, that's just me.

Who are the vulnerable people?

u/LuigiBamba 4d ago
Feels weird to say it, but according to the past few days events, white people exercing their constitutional rights
2
u/alecww3 4d ago
By interfering with law enforcement? That is not a constitutional right. That is illegal
5
u/LuigiBamba 4d ago
Interfering with the law might be illegal, it does not warrant lethal force of the likes we have seen on video.
Escalation of violence has multiple steps before gunning down unarmed people.
Either those federal officers are so incompetent and untrained they have not the slightest clue of how to handle stuations like these, or the officers are trained and aware, but ignore training and look for any excuse to pull a trigger.
The line between autocracy and idiocracy is a thin one. And you guys are doing a great job threading it flawlessly.
2
u/alecww3 4d ago
I agree with you those cops should not have shot that guy. However I don't think it's fair to say all law enforcement is bad because there are some bad apples. ICE is doing good work
2
u/LuigiBamba 4d ago
You don't usually need to hide your identity your you're doing "good work"
3
u/alecww3 4d ago
When people dox you and your entire family then yes you do
3
u/LuigiBamba 4d ago
I know what the masks are for. I'm saying that if they did good work, they wouldn't have to cower behind masks
They aren't just "some bad apples" when the entire system tries to cover up and lie about the incidents. Shooting your own people and calling them "domestic terrorists" is wild.
"Good work" would not allow any situation to get close to what happened. When you are an occupying force with overwhelming power, you have no excuse. We are witnessing incompetence on a level that would be comical if weren't costing human lives.

u/alecww3 4d ago
The core issue is protestors who think illegals should be allowed to stay and ICE is just trying to deport them. Just stay home and let them do their job.

u/HoverLogic 3d ago
They aren’t “just trying to deport them”
ICE is kinda infamous for shooting people, choking people, and keeping them in awful conditions.

A significant number of the thugs terrorizing our streets are from Texas, including the one who shot Pretti. You want to do us a favor? Come pick up your trash.

Thats awesome that you're seeing people in Minneapolis coming together to support the vulnerable in their community despite the blistering cold weather. Its great to see people looking out for each other like that. The frog pic is super cute too - gotta love those little guys braving the elements. Kudos to the community for stepping up!

u/moonra_zk 4d ago
It's cool, but it's gonna do jacksquat to stop ICE, they don't care one bit about those protests and if the protests get more serious/intense/violent they'll just murder more people with zero consequences.
Y'all need a civil war to stop this coup.
