This video warrants reposting again & again. ICE is not slowing down in MN. They’re just changing tactics that you must be aware of.
Please, please listen and pass this on.

ICE says a handcuffed man w/ no criminal record got 8 skull fractures running into a wall.

Doctors disagree.

Hospitals encrypt messages; patients fear getting care.

HOSPITALS ARE NOT SAFE

Call Senators.

Demand investigations.

Stop funding this.

Keep protesting and filming ICE. ✊🏼

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
