They want to scare people out of posting ICE-critical content, because they know these posts are turning even their supporters against them. But the better option is to take a page out of their playbook and flood the zone.

Minnesota Just Slapped Down Trump’s Theory of Power "Might makes right" has been taking a beating on Nicollet Avenue, in Minneapolis and Johnson Parkway in Saint Paul

Trump's regime lost something in Minnesota and they won't get it back.

Whenever I read accounts of Hitler's Operation Barbarossa, they always include the fact that the Wehrmacht in 1942 advanced to within the furthest reach of Moscow's streetcar lines.
Why didn't they just take the streetcar the rest of the way?

It's weird having the world praise your bravery when you're just going to Costco Living in Minneapolis these days means getting mythologized while just trying to live your life. That feels odd

There's heroic Minnesota resistance, and then there's whatever TF I did last week. open.substack.com/pub/jimryan/...

They're still convinced that Soros or some other boogeyman is centrally controlling and funding us. The idea that we might be doing this on our own without leaders and paying for it out of our own pockets is beyond their comprehension.

ICE is Killing Us Because we're Winning Federal goons answered our Civic Resistance with more murder. That's a their weakness, not ours

They're doubling down on violence because that's all they have. But it's not enough to stop us, and it won't ever be enough.

This depends upon The Klob? Heaven preserve us. The day I stake anything of value upon the courage of that insipid chameleon is the day monkeys fly out of my butt.

If they don’t want us acting morally superior, they shouldn’t make it so damn easy.

You write as if them achieving their desired goal were a foregone conclusion. But here in Minnesota, we don’t agree. We are taking action every minute to see that they don’t. So stop it.

I was just chatting w/ an old girlfriend from Germany who told me the exact same thing.

The urgency IS global. But your leaders need to stop humoring Trump and set limits. Reiterate the NATO agreement to fight with any member state that is attacked. Boycott the World Cup. Charge him with war crimes in The Hague. Be tougher.

Excuse me. Are you under the impression that millions of us are NOT pushing for a change in our country's leadership? Do you imagine that this is some kind of easy, immediate process? Do you think that if some fast and direct way of doing this was available that millions of us would NOT take it?

Don’t call the assault on Venezuelan a β€œclusterfuck.” Actual clusterfucks are carefully planned, respectfully negotiated, events featuring multiple consenting adults following agreed-upon rules of engagement.
Seriously, I hate when people compare criminal and abusive policies to consensual sex acts

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.
