Superbowl ads for the last 5 years have been capital displaying total cultural victory by publicly humiliating celebrities.

Is the administration’s bit that they encourage right-wing influencers to find “fraud” in blue states; influencers “investigate” and publish propaganda claiming said widespread fraud was responsibility of immigrants; and then gov’t sends in ICE to terrorize people because of it?

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.

Real . This happened
"The Last Baby Will Be Born in 2012 and, Worse, He'll Look Like This."
A 1913 news article suggested that a decline in birth rates and social changes, such as women entering the workforce and fewer people marrying, would lead to a "neuter type" of human and eventually, the end of the human race.

What's tough to get across to folks outside MN is that both the occupation & everyday resistance are both happening at such a scale that it's kinda flipped a lot of what most would assume makes sense for precautions or 'opsec'. Everything from spicy stuff to mundane have different rules than before

Today in Minnesota federal agents stationed themselves in dark SUVs along school bus routes during afternoon dropoff so they might have the opportunity to abduct and deport children and their parents
Just so everyone is clear, Minnesota is still very much under siege by the federal government and their gestapo. My son's school had to lockdown today after threatening messages were sent to the school office. It's all absolutely fucked and there appears to be no end in sight.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.
