A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.

While Tim Walz is out there giving a speech and urging caution, ICE shoots more people. Our local leaders like Bobby Joe Champion and Amber Fredrickson are on scene while that dude gives a speech.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

I wore an ICE OUT shirt while courtside at the Timberwolves game yesterday. Security initially said I needed to give them the shirt (I didn't), but later clarified that I just needed to wear something else. Here's a nice write-up about it by Jon Krawczynski ✊
