They are surging thousands of federal officers to Minnesota right now. They have cut local officials completely out of everything and ignore their requests.
They are raiding schools and office buildings and shooting unarmed civilians.
This has nothing to do with immigration. This is yet again just Mango Mussolini's revenge tour to attack and destroy Gov Tim Walz for being Kamala Harris's VP candidate.
This is about revenge, not immigrants.
This is only going to get worse. Once these illiterate cousin fuckers know they can kill with impunity, they will.
Is it time for a general strike yet?

(10,987 posts)it has multiplied hugely, almost hour by hour since the shooting with more scheduled almost every hour. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
And we have had two people shot also as I'm sure you already know. Plus all our electeds are actively supporting.

general strike would have been good months ago... better late than never.... however... we need more people, more outrage, more civil disobedience.... the burden has been heavy for too few people
a general strike is the only way not to get shot. this ain't the 60's and we thought the dogs and fire hoses were bad, now it's rabid dog with automatic weapons and immunity. bring the economy to its knees, they can't make you spend money or go to work. Better late than never for sure

(129,156 posts)wrt LA, Chicago, Portland, etc. - better get ready for the occupation. Immigrants and others here are afraid to leave their homes. Right now Im at a coffee shop/cafe where I often go for lunch, and they told me they only have the breakfast menu because they sent the kitchen staff home to keep them safe. The owner is doing the cooking. Not a big deal that I couldnt buy a sandwich but a very big deal that people are scared to come to work.

(20,630 posts)That she and NO ONE is to allow these ICE thugs in. They would have to shoot the door in order to get in, which would cause quite a ruckus and endanger employees who are aides, etc.
Of course, these GOONS do not have legal Judicial warrants signed by Hennepin County Judges.
