aaron rupar's family is evacuating minneapolis

posted by him on bluesky

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

If local PD and state PD arent doing anything to protect citizens, seems unlikely that a force that can be federalized at a moments notice without any consequences are likely to do anything either.

I'm just sorry.. everyone who needs to get the hell out wouldn't be able to it.. because of varying circumstances.

This will avoid the necessity of immigrant parents having to provide transportation to and from schools for their children. Also it's a safer option for the schools that have the hardware and software capabilities.
