He would have to work through his actual disdain for Black women first.

He actually enjoys seeing us struggle. Payback for his childhood like we’re all his mother.

Voted for this or supported this. I’ll close out by saying that our immigrant friends and neighbors are people and are not deserving of this type of treatment. Our state has its flaws, but beyond all that it is a great place to live. I don’t like how ICE has shaped our state.

We can mae broad assumptions, but Boris not the time. Minnesota officials have said in few words that ICE is disorganized, there is no rhyme or reason to these attacks on people and to document everything. I pray for my state. This is not what we signed up for. I will never forgive anyone who

Seems so unnecessary when folks in our state are being systematically targeted and put in danger. This is not fun at all. Ordering food or gods through DoorDash now seems a risk as it much put the driver in danger. We are not living in normal times. None of this is normal.

Old I understand his vitriol. But seriously, this is not normal. … we don’t want to go out anymore. Going to the store can be risky, because you don’t know if these literate goons will bum rush the entrance because they feel the workforce is a threat. Going out with friends

I miss when people really thought of us around Prince’s birthday, and β€œPurple Rain”. I miss when we were relegated to Canada 2.0 and frozen tundra and just left alone. We voted against 45, 3 times. We voted against this dollar store dictator 3 times. So I can see his anger. As someone with a 3 year

I live in Minnesota. And although the focus is on our metropolitan area. The impact of ICE is felt statewide. Our schools are preparing for safety protocol. Communities are being targeted around us. And activities are doing what they can to keep people safe. I miss when this state was unknown

Yeah, when corrected for something y’all post, please consider NOT deleting the commentβ€”so others can see the exchange and perhaps even learn from it.

Your urge to delete is b/c of White Supremacy Culture: urgency, defensiveness, right to comfort, either-or, worship of the written word.

Resist it.

I broke a Black mom code of conduct, by taking my sick kids outside to feel the arctic air. Hear me out! Their doc told me a quick way to dry up their mucus is cold dry air. And we have it here in the upper Midwest. … they were bundled up Nicely and are now sipping cider watching Paw Patrol Xmas.
