Agreed. Nobody wins. But right now, our communities and neighbors are being ripped from their homes, walking around streets, in public.
Eventually people will say enough is enough if our state or federal government doesn’t change anything. And right now, words and signs don’t seem to be doing anything. Just trying to stay hopeful, while I can.
Sounds like what the British thought before the revolutionary war. When the government stops giving a shit about laws and the constitution. There is going to be a breaking point. In Minnesota we have been following the rules, staying peaceful, yet they have not turned down the occupation.
But eventually that will run out. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable” -JFK
Empires come and go with time. Look at any point in history.
I think of secession as a catalyst more than anything. That’s how a civil war starts. The US wouldn’t allow it.
I think Minnesota even bringing it up would mean a lot. Why do I have to pay federal taxes for the federal government to occupy our cities.
I thought it was mashed potatoes.
They have a concept of a release date.

They only have a spine once they are resigning and realize they have no chance of winning. Cowards.
No fucking shit. Do something. Minnesota is entirely working within our communities and expect nothing from our governments. If I had the option, I would opt out of America at this point. Imagine if MN didn’t have to pay federal taxes, that’d be great.
The cops are to protect corporate interests and the wealthy. Nothing more. We are on our own.
I get it. But also we are occupied by ice right now. We are spending a majority of our time resisting at the community level. Helping our neighbors from being abducted, monitoring ice, protesting.
Apologies that it’s not meeting your standards.
They’ve occupied the metro. Of course we are protesting. Minnesotans have been protesting every day since Renee Good was murdered. But it doesn’t show up in the news.
And yet, every time I talk to right wing people around here. They’re like “well this just happened because of the fraud. They can’t detain legal immigrants” as my list of people around me grows as citizens get detained and taken to Texas.
Wake the fuck up.
I’m from MN, same here. Especially since the federal government despises us so much.
Also some of our community leaders are meeting the CEO of target in person. To discuss targets support of ICE, allowing them to enter target and kidnap employees and citizens. Fucking nazi simp.
I wish so bad.
Oh shit I suddenly have powdery mildew. Oh is that bacterial wilt? I’m over watered. It’s too hot. Too much sun. Not the vine borers! Slugs?!
If I was like a plant, I would be dead.
Doesn’t stop them from trying to escalate soon. St. Paul’s getting hit hard, same with Minneapolis. But even the suburbs. I’m glad they walked out empty handed though. Resist.
How’s the pie?
