According to a Saturday report in the New York Times, concern over ICE’s brutality has grown to such an extent that many Minnesota residents, including both documented immigrants and US citizens, have started wearing passports around their necks to avoid being potentially targeted.
CNN on Friday reported that ICE has been rounding up refugees living in Minnesota who were allowed to enter the US after undergoing “a rigorous, years-long vetting process,” and sending them to a facility in Texas where they are being prepared for deportation.
The line was crossed ages ago.

I want to see somebody step up to lead the civil war
Why are you waiting, you can do it tomorrow!
USA is at most a plane ticket away.
How would I do it? What can I do that you can’t? You want a random Canadian woman with no military experience or political experience and severely lacking in social connections to just go to the Untied States and declare I’m leading a civil war against the regime? Why don’t you do it?
So, you’re calling for OTHERS to put their lives on the line, and just want to watch?! Cool cool
You’re calling for others to die for YOUR entertainment, am I here to follow your commands?
No thanks. I would never ask others to put their lives on the line whilst I do absolutely nothing but boss them from afar.
But you do you! Takes all kinds, no stepper
If you’re in Canada, odds are good you’re a lot closer to Washington DC than I am…
It isn’t for my entertainment, it’s because MAGA is a threat to everyone and needs to be stopped
Secondly, WHERE did I call for random people to lead the civil war? The person replying to me asked for me, a random person, to lead it somehow. I’m asking for a politician or military leader to step up so that there will be actual power and authority on the side against Trump. I’m asking for state governments to take action against ICE
if a “terrifying line is being crossed” every day, how does that affect you? Is each line a new horror? or do they all blur together?
As a Minnesotan, I can answer that
It’s both
Most days the new line being crosses is horrifying. I remember the video of the doordash driver that hid in a customer’s basement. Seeing the terror in her eyes. Hearing the homeowners crying and apologizing as they’re forced to throw her to the wolves. That one hurt to watch. Deeply reminiscent of Nazis hunting for jews
Other events just leave me numb. Like Alex Pretti. It was objectively a huge line to cross, yet I felt so numb to it initially. Some days the mental fatigue is just too much
None of us can handle the “big picture”, we are all at best familiar with just a small portion of the fuckery going on. There isn’t enough time in the day
It’s not even a “USA” thing. Wait until other countries figure out it’s an international consortium of the super wealthy families and business interests that have been around since the slavery days!
They own Think Tanks and publish opinion pieces and studies all over the world, and own most of the modern media landscape, and trade practically everywhere in US dollars and more (each country is different, you tell me the country and I’ll tell you how they subsidize or are subsidized by the USA-UK superfriends).
Check out the Panama and Pandora Papers for starters, and so much more.
They are not even vaguely US nationalist, they will drop the USA as soon as it is more profitable than not to do so.
When farmers burn weeds they often mix a popular petrochemical that’s sold at most beer/cig/candy stores and simple Irish bars of lavender, it’s pretty useful stuff. For burning weeds.
…am I stupid? I have zero clue what that has to do with this story. What context am I missing?
Sounds like some sort of napalm.
It’s like how gas stations and smoke shops have “tabacco” pipes that are for “tobacco use only” and you absolutely can’t use them to smoke anything else with, only tobacco.
