ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

We know an eviction moratorium themselves is legally sound. The State beat all the legal challenges to the COVID-era moratorium.
The question is whether a Minnesota court would find that the ICE occupation of our state is a "civil disturbance." I think we can get there.

Axios reports @governorwalz.mn.gov won’t call an eviction moratorium because it is “legally fraught” yet the definition sure sounds like one. www.mprnews.org/story/2023/0...

In Minnesota, a peacetime emergency is an executive order that can be called when cities and counties don't have the adequate resources to address an emergency, defined as "an act of nature, a technological failure or malfunction, a terrorist incident, an industrial accident, a hazardous materials accident or a civil disturbance [that] endangers life and property."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2yhglxsi2owchryafic2gmr3/bafkreicfdeipsblnzb3oxnfnqh45fkzjo5p2s32ar3oqtgpnc46chd2ff4@jpeg)

It's an even more apt one in that, circa 1920, you needed to put radium into everything to get attention/funding. If you didn't have a way to do that then, by jiminy, you damn well better find a way to work the word "radium" into the name of your product/service/company.

I keep hearing how pointless the knit hats are but even aside from the money those have raised, visual symbols of how many of us there are are good. It's solidarity building and keeps the goons from telling themsrlves everyone secretly agrees with them. Nobody's KNITTING a statement they dislike.

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
