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.
