I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

I hate to say this, but someone of higher profile is going to need to end up in custody trying to stop this. MPD needs to pull over ICE vehicles with flipped plates; O'Hara may end up at Whipple, but that advances the cause. Make them arrest the Governor or Mayor.

Right now the strategy of the Governor, Mayor, and really the DFL writ large is to AVOID the conflict, and avoid escalation. But that misreads the attention economy, as Democrats always due.
They need to MAKE A SCENE AND MAKE A TV SHOW. Make them arrest priests, rabbis and the mayor.
