This shouldn't require saying, but we highlight polls at a time like this because 1) it's heartening to see the American people rejecting fascism, which inspires more to join; and 2) because Ds are under pressure from certain quarters NOT to engage, so we need to let them know what the people want.

Minneapolis Labor, Community Leaders Join Call for Jan. 23 General Strike to Demand ICE Out | Common Dreams Minneapolis labor unions and community groups call for a general strike to push out federal immigration agents.

Minneapolis groups call for ‘general strike’. "...several local unions—including Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, and St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28—have lent their support to the strike." www.commondreams.org/news/minneap...

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

Why do ICE agents carry guns?
Not one single report of them being shot at!!
Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!!
Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.

Here’s the thing, when it finally ends, we will learn that the violence in MN was policy. People will talk about the orders they were given and somewhere there will be written records. There will be justice for all of this.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

This is true.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

A person was shot in the leg by a federal law enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening after resisting arrest and “violently assaulting” an officer, the DHS said in a statement, as the city is still reeling in the aftermath of last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Good.

Trump praised Hitler, has operated concentration camps, is engaged in ethnic cleansing of America, is using troops against innocent citizens, is invading U.S. states, is committing mass murders and acts of war and is overthrowing foreign countries. We know where this is going.

U.S. And Denmark Still Have ‘Fundamental Disagreement’ About Greenland After Meeting, Danish Official Says “We have shown where our limits are. It’s in all of our interests to find the right path,” Greenlandic foreign minister Vivian Motzfeldt said.

“We have shown where our limits are. It’s in all of our interests to find the right path,” Greenlandic foreign minister Vivian Motzfeldt said.

Sept. 22, 2025 President Trump signed an executive order on Monday targeting the left-wing antifascist movement, known as antifa, threatening "investigatory and prosecutorial action" against those who financially support it. But Mr. Trump's order said that he was declaring antifa a "domestic terrorist organization" - a designation that does not actually exist under U.S. law. Anti-fascism, like fascism itself, is a broad political ideology rather than a specific organization, and the U.S. does not have a domestic terrorism law.

People still discussing elections and laws. They are in denial about it being too late for that. They can’t pinpoint a moment when america became a fascist country. How about using September 22nd, 2025? That was the day MAGA fascists declared antifascism to be domestic terrorism. Seems unambiguous.

I hope in the future when we wrest back the govt from the current regime, we put up some guardrails to stop politicians from just defunding vital govt programs with no rhyme or reason

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

I don't understand US peeps going on about the Epstein files. You all know he's guilty already.

He's got secret police kidnapping, attacking and killing people already. He's effectively resigned you from NATO and is threatening a war against the rest of us.

It's not distraction.

Trump and his whole government are known liars. From POTUS, to the whole cabinet, to the entire rank and file. All shameless liars.

Nobody outside the cult buying the "ICE agent suffered internal bleeding" lie. They're so bad at this.

US farms not doing so well under GOP policies, even with the 12 billion donation to the cause. 2026 forecasts look even worse.

We’ve all seen the awful NSFW content coming from Grok. It doesn’t belong anywhere near our military systems.

Donald Trump could show himself as the best possible treatment of stress in the entire world.
All he needs to do is to resign from office.

I couldn’t have said it better.

ICE is out of control. They are the source of the violence and can never be its remedy. In the short term, the only answer is for them to cease operations in Minnesota and leave. Immediately.

In the slightly longer term, ICE must be dismantled and abolished. They cannot be reformed.
