I support eveyone participating in the strike and those who cannot afford to participate in the strike because we live paycheck to paycheck and capitalism should be abolished. Like I’ve already been shorted 9.5 hours of my 35 hours this week.

Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

I did confirm that this is at least partially true, though not from someone officially speaking for the Des Moines Police. The DMPD is denying this, but DMPD will not likely get advanced notification of ICE raids. Reported large number of ICE agents left Minneapolis Mon. #ICEout #Iowa
