For the fifth or sixth time in the past 10 months, I saw a post claiming to quote a Trump social media screed that was so wildly unhinged that I felt bad for the person posting it. They had gotten suckered into taking a parody account as real. How embarrassing! Then I learned it was in fact real.

Minnesota is really quietly changing the entire dynamic for these fascist foot soldiers.
We can literally freeze them out and make them leave. They hate it here and they hate that we are unafraid of them or the weather.

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in.
KEEP IT UP.
