    No. They want to have an excuse to declare martial law and start shooting randomly. Leave it to Minnesota, they’re handling it right.

      I understand that but imo this is not going to end well, let alone peacefully.

      I just don’t see this administration/dictatorship conceding to anything just because production might have slowed down for a little bit. They’re in too deep now; they can’t just walk things back and go “whoops, sorry! How about we only prosecute a tiny fraction of agents that actually committed acts of force/violence to placate the masses” and it all cycles back around. They’re either going to get what they want or we’re going to have to stop them from taking it over our cold lifeless bodies.

      Tell me I’m exaggerating.

        They’ll do that in a heartbeat. In fact, they do it alllll the fucking time. LA is a perfect example and relates to this. They didn’t have anyone on their side so they picked a new target.

      This shit drives me absolutely insane.

      They don’t need an excuse

      They’re going to do it anyway, so people need to fucking defend themselves however they can. Stop spouting this horseshit

      We need more of an organized strategy but otherwise I agree. Armed conflict with the US military is a suicidal strategy. The general strike concept has far more promise.

      This is some lib shit. Fuck that noise.

      If ICE keeps terrorizing communities, communities of people’s loved one, they have every right to protest that.

      I don’t know if you know this, but if ICE continue to do this shit (and they will), the the inevitable outcome is a civil war.

      This will not get better in the next year or 3 years before the next elections. It will get worse. And you’re telling people to just sit through the pain and suffering of this Admin, as if that will prevent more pain and suffering from coming.

      Tim Walz should have used the MN National Guard to defend the People of Minnesota. Ever since he was cucked by Kamala Harris after the 2024 DNC, she’s shone himself to be a limp dick that willingly bends over to lick the boot of the fascists.

      If Tim won’t protect people, they’ll do it themselves. And they’re right to.

        Before Minnesota we barely moved public opinion, since nonviolent resistance started here, public opinion has shifted sharply. We are winning. The country is on our side. The second people take up arms the perception changes instantly. Don’t be fooled by your own anger.
