The same people telling you that arresting all the pedophiles in the Epstein Files would collapse the system are the same people telling you that taxing the rich would collapse the economy.

You should read this piece. Adam is right: the core theory behind the anti-ICE mobilization here in Minneapolis isn’t really a political ideology, but that neighbors are neighbors and must be protected.
"Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Mpls or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America" ~ @adamserwer.bsky.social

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong
The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse from Minneapolis, has been murdered in Minneapolis MN for running to the aid of women who were being attacked by ICE/Border Patrol. Doing a decent thing now is an act that the federal government justifies killing US citizens in cold blood? redruM

I don't want my friends to become martyrs, but at this point it's clearly something we all need to prepare ourselves for.
It can be a hard pill to swallow but you have to accept that while you will prevail in this struggle, you may not be there to witness it.
Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

Your decision to punish Harris because you didn't like Biden's Gaza position is why we are here now. You thought you were punishing Democrats by not voting for her, but this is what *you've* allowed to happen.

Local assisted living facilities are taking additional security measures because the residents don’t want their care to be interrupted when ICE abducts their staff. Schools are closed for the safety of students, faculty, and staff. There is no facet of society or stage of life unaffected.
Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.
