Another Minnesotan was just beaten by six agents, pepper sprayed, pistol whipped, then shot in the back. Ten times. The ICE agent then said “boo hoo” to those witnessing it in horror.
Abolish ICE.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

There are many serious governments in the world.
The US is not one of them.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Hey American people this is a great way to get yourself excellent news coverage AND help the mutual aid fund for the people of Minnesota
Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tmrw's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, & Every Meal. (1/2)

America sinks to a new low and the Board of Peace is a complete farce.
Any fear or respect for him has long departed.
America’s reputation is destroyed, there is zero trust, and zero future for them.

It's not remotely silly.
It might sound silly, but I mean it: The easiest and most potent way for Europe to hurt Trump this year is to once again use its cultural soft power and to threaten a boycott of the World Cup. It would become a completely meaningless event and would hurt him where he is most vulnerable - his vanity.
