Don’t be sending in fed money to use against us!

Protesters are now being pepper-sprayed. It’s appalling to witness force being used against peaceful demonstrators. This is simply unacceptable. The last two weeks in the US have been incredibly chaotic, from the Venezuela attack and threats to Greenland to ICE attacks. Domestically and internationally, the US is disintegrating. With three more years of Trump ahead, it’s uncertain whether the world can endure this.

Never ever in US history we are facing such upheaval, chaos’s, people and families living in fear in the land of the free everything we worked hard to preserve and uphold is being destroyed and torn down by this tyrannical PRESIDENT AND VP!

There was a civil war that killed more people than WWII ( that war to end fascism.) Oops, an outloud slip!

Don't give them what they want

ICE are recidivists, see the 2013 review attached. J. Ross must never have gone in front of her car, as the police instructions are clear about that.

After the first shot and stepping aside as Good’s vehicle turned to the right, he fired two more shots through her open side window while standing at a distance of 80-90 cm from her vehicle.

He knew he committed a crime, that’s why he fled the scene, as most criminals do.

Moreover, the DHS (American KGB) instructions are also clear that he had no reason to fire in those circumstances. Those instructions are based on the 1985 SCOTUS ruling (attached).

We are not talking about the Trump- Epstein files so I guess donalds plan was successful

Susan Hansen's avatar

I just commented on that a minute ago, I’m glad someone else has noticed that!!

Fight back before it's too late

Agreed. I suggest to anyone there to make your own, weighted nets. Perhaps have one for home use, and a portable version for protesting. Practice with them. Form with neighbors, if you can. Be at the ready to go outside to protect your neighborhoods. Form your own community jails. Call law enforcement everywhere you can report the thugs for illegal actions. When law enforcement arrive, and if they will not assist, 2 traps in one. This is a way to end it. I also suggest if you have your own sticks, clean them, and keep them at the ready at all times.

Bless you all who are firmly on the side of preserving humanity.

The United States' Democratic/Independent Party needs to win back the House AND the Senate. If we don't, I'm afraid that you are right...

Susan Hansen's avatar

Isn’t that just a great way to distract from the trump, Epstein files? I don’t hear anyone talking about that now so kudos to trump I guess?? 😡🤬

Susan Hansen's avatar

And lately I haven’t been hearing much about those Epstein files?? 🤔 I did read a comment from Amy Klobuchar, weird because I don’t recall ever hearing much from her. She accepts AIPAC money and I have zero respect for her now but she wants to step into Tim Waltzes position and definitely won’t vote for her, is that why she has chosen to start making comments? Hmmm, no, I don’t trust her one bit! Ugh

Guess who's paying for it all? WE ARE!!!

This wasn’t chaos or people looking for a fight. It was neighbors showing up so harm couldn’t happen quietly. Fear only works when people are isolated, and that isolation just didn’t hold. People stayed present. They watched. They stood with one another.

There’s something deeply grounding about that kind of response. No escalation, no spectacle. Just collective visibility. And once everything is out in the open, intimidation loses its power.

This matters beyond Minneapolis. It reminds us that communities aren’t powerless, and that authority weakens when it depends on fear instead of consent.

That’s the part that lingers for me.

Majesterial Joy's avatar

Sitting and watching them beat people is the dumbest thing you can do.

De arrest, intervene, fight back

Catharine Farkas's avatar

Absolutely NOT! That is EXACTLY what Drumpf wants so that he has a "valid" excuse to declare martial law.

Majesterial Joy's avatar

It is already martial law

Wayne's avatar

I noticed a great mix of older and younger people at the protests. The older experienced protest sit in people helping the younger people learn peaceful protesting art. What a wonderful coalition.

Majesterial Joy's avatar

Screw that, your doormat parades don't work, you fed

Susan Theriault's avatar

Let’s get rid of ICE permanently!

Debbie Redling's avatar

That’s how it should be done!!

The regimes “violent protests” narrative is not adding up for them!

Majesterial Joy's avatar

You're an idiot. Physical resistance is what will work

Debbie Redling's avatar

Then you would be playing right into Stephen Miller and Trumps hands!! They are salivating at the chance to declare martial law. They have wet dreams about it!

Remember in Trumps last term he was telling his generals to shoot people in the knees!! Millers whole ideology is about hurting and torturing people who don’t comply!

Like it or not most of MAGA, the Proud Boys of The January 6th 2020 insurrection and every White Christian Nationalist is signing up for ICE! These people are untrained, unqualified, uneducated and trigger happy! They can’t wait for us to give them a reason! Don’t give them a reason!

I get the frustration at slow moving wheels though! I do

We ALREADY HAVE MARTIAL LAW

LII Wex martial law

martial law

Martial law–also called martial rule–is a type of jurisdiction in which military authority temporarily replaces civil authority. As stated in the 1998 case of Mudd v. Caldera, martial law authorizes the military to exercise the responsibilities of branches who are unable to function, such as the legislature, executive branch, or the courts. This is usually in response to war, natural disaster, or civil unrest, and is limited to such times of emergency; as such, at the conclusion of the instigating circumstance, martial law must end and the civil authority resumed. Martial law has been declared in several countries throughout history, recently in Ukraine and the Philippines

In the United States, martial law can be declared on a national level by the President or Congress, or within the borders of a particular state by that state’s governor. Martial law was first declared in New Orleans, Louisiana by then General Andrew Jackson during the War of 1812. Since then, it has been declared multiple times, notably by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and by Governor Poindexter in Hawaii following the attacks on Pearl Harbor during World War II. According to E. W. Killam’s Martial Law in Times of Civil Disorder, martial law has been declared nine times since World War II, most often in response to resistance of desegregation decrees during the Civil Rights era.

Martial law differs from military law, as was clarified in the 1924 case of Bishop v. Vandercook. Military law–which involves the organization, government, and discipline of troops–applies only to those individuals who are in military service. While a citizen can be governed by martial law, they cannot be governed by military law. As such, military personnel under a time of martial law must still act in accordance with civil law. Further, citizens who have been wronged by the improper exercise of military power retain the right seek remedies for that harm

STOP this nonsense! We must remain peaceful. General strikes are the next escalation.

Majesterial Joy's avatar

No. It's too late for that.

Carmen Patricia Tumak's avatar

ICE, like Stumpy, are f***ing cowards. STAND STRONG!!!!

BLUEBOLT's avatar

Yes those criminal thugs so called ice agents are nothing but cowards. They look for the weakest in the crowds and singles them out. They won't take someone on that would knock their coward asses on the ground

Brian's avatar

Good Job Mill City. Fight!

Majesterial Joy's avatar

Standing around waving signs isn't fighting.

Jodie's avatar

You are blocked, Majesterial Joy! You are not suggesting anything but giving into Trumps hopes and dreams of having an excuse to retaliate against protesters.

Brian's avatar

Okay. You’re right. We should do nothing. Let them just murder us and not respond at all. Soon it will come to hand a hand combat, but now this is what we’ve got. But OK I understand you. We should do nothing and just sit back and take bullets in the head. Got it OK. At least they were out there protesting, what were you doing. Oh I know you are a pixel warrior, keyboard warrior. Yeah, but go ahead and criticize those that are willing to brave the cold weather and at least face their fears.

Susan Hansen's avatar

Did you see the video? Ice LEFT because there were too many people witnessing what they were doing! People stood arm in arm and ice finally just picked up and LEFT! Peaceful demonstration DOES work!! Violence just gives trump the excuse to really come down on people!! Don’t put yourself on their level and don’t give them an excuse to escalate! I e leaving proves that they are absolute COWARDS!!

Catharine Farkas's avatar

Majesterial Joy is advocating violence. Not a helpful response.

Doreen Zetterlund's avatar

You are a wonderful writer and reporter, Adam. I so respect your debate abilities. I get flustered and emotional and don't effectively make my point when attempting a debate - so I much admire your skill set. Please keep up your excellent work.

Dianeb's avatar

Where can we get a shareable clip of this video! It’s awesome! It’s a master class that every city needs to see.

Nowhere does say in the job description of an ICE agent that it includes killing American citizens on the streets of America, harrassing protesters or terrorizing American citizens by going door to door in masks. Moreover, their job details specifies that they must work with local officials and police.

Call your representatives. ICE is obviously not doing the job the Congress approved them to do.

Susan Hansen's avatar

Yeah, that goes on behind closed doors I’m sure! They have no business running around with guns, trigger happy little creeps that they are walking around like they are really something, big shots in their own eyes and cowards playing lawman on everyone else’s eyes. Someday this will be over and I wonder what they think will happen then? Awards? No…prison time and I hope they get life!!
