People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

It’s day 25 of the ICE occupation of the Twin Cities.
The surge continues. Neighbors were kidnapped today outside grocery stores and going about their regular errands.
We continue to see heavy ICE activity throughout the metro area. Stay alert - we know many kidnappings happen very fast.
