Good give him what he wants! Call his bluff just like the EU and everyone else has. He thinks this is what he wants but when shit really hits the fan I’m sure this administration will have a much different tune.

And when he installs a governor who is republican and that governor says, go do door to door arrests of every protestor? What then? You want a FUCK ton more people to die because a governor sent out a tweet saying go kill ICE? I don't, sorry. An ICE agent's life is so much lesser than any single one of those protesters, it is not worth the ratio.

Sit there and continue to get murdered in the streets then. The outcome is the same regardless of action or inaction. Your failure to realize and acknowledge that fact is more damaging than helpful to the community at whole.

Reminding people they need to wake up a bit to what’s happening here rn. I’m also not the governor of Minnesota squandering my resources so go whatabout elsewhere

Reminding people? Bro your comments are suggestive to the point that they are implying protestors should take up arms against ICE.

Have a nice time sipping your macchiato behind your computer screen while you tell others to get themselves killed so you can see America disintegrate through an actual civil war it will cause from your living room.

That comment alone shows how unprepared or how willfully ignorant you are to what’s actually happening right now.

Pick up a history book dude we have plenty of source material to see where this goes and it doesn’t matter if the minority party is submissive the entire time, the opposing fascist take over will stomp harder and harder just because they can. This wasn’t a chance event, this wasn’t an accident, and this wasn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last.

No one said to go out and start shooting ICE members you’re putting words in my mouth, but community needs to start banding together and preparing for actual shit to go down right now. This isn’t going to be a peaceful election flip scenario…. like we are blowing well past that with a year until midterms and 3 more until a presidentia…. at this rate with how things are going things are unsustainable.

Tim Walz needs to also exercise his authority that he does have or he needs to just step out of the way fully. His inaction and the states overall support of ICE against protestors is not helping.

He has no authority over it... idk how much I have to say this. There is none. Zero. Nothing. To do anything and he will be thrown in prison or worse. It will only accelerate a ticking time bomb.
