Minneapolis is a case study of the growing fascism:
-a massive surge of ICE/DHS for arbitrary reasons
-resistance develops that slows it
-forces reduced from the height but still at a full 900 more
-this feels like relief
They *still* have a force larger than our police but its normalized now
THIS.
Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.
Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
And now the husband is breaking out in the full rash. Urgent care tomorrow because he doesn't want to go again today when the rash is still just pink spots. I don't blame him because there's a good chance they'd just turn him away again and he's exhausted and miserable.
I'm so fucking mad.
The doctor didn't even bother to come back and tell us his decision. Just sent the nurse who basically insisted we were full of shit and treated us like idiots or drug seekers. For what though? We wanted antivirals?
Y'all I am so mad. I had shingles and my husband never had chicken pox. We're in the incubation window and he popped a fever of 102 WITH fever reducers and had a few spots. Tried virtual urgent care: they said go to the ER. Went to the ER. They completely blew us off.
Got diagnosed with shingles today. This will be fun. Anyway, deleting social media on my tablet for a while to reduce stress and kick this faster. So fuck ice, all my love to Minneapolis and everywhere else.

Alert: A shooting involving U.S. Border Patrol was reported this morning in southern Arizona. One person was shot near milepost 15 on W. Arivaca Rd around 7:30 a.m., per Pima County Sheriff’s Dept. Identity not released.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
I've had this audiobook since it came out and somehow still haven't started it. Argh. Need to get on that.
"When someone who she believes was an immigration agent showed up at her house along with three other cars that barricaded the street, “It was one of the scariest things that ever happened to me,” McLellan said.
"“This is a warning,” an agent told her. “We know you live right here.”"
@GuntherEagleman on Twitter says, "BREAKING: The "No-Go-Zone" in Minneapolis is getting fully stocked like a pop-up leftist supply depot, free hand warmers, winter gear, coffee, food, milk, you name it. This is PROFESSIONAL-grade logistics. Someone is BANKROLLING this autonomous zone.
Did you miss out on your last opportunity to bankroll the fully stocked pop-up leftist supply depot?? Do you want to send free hand warmers, winter gear, first aid supplies, YOU NAME IT, to the Twin Cities?
This is your moment. Let's ride.

Reposting. You don't have to watch that video to know ICE/CBP has murdered another person. Don't put things in your brain that will hurt you.
I think they're targeting children as another escalation tactic. Their violence hasn't been met with violence, so now they're targeting kids. Their end goal has always been violence and fear.
