There are tens of thousands of people on the streets and in communities in Minnesota doing something about it
idgi, what's “not worth reading” about Minnesota expanding deathcamps‽
You have veered extraordinarily off topic
What's offtopic about this‽ ICE has presences in his state, and folks are only talking about it.
How are you on topic?
Yeah: what are you doing about Minnesota expansion of deathcamps?
They're only TALKING about it? If I recall, two innocent Minnesota citizens have been executed by ICE Apes while they were only "talking about it." And all the rest of the Minnesota protesters who are just "talking about it," all know they could be the next one to be executed, and yet they still show up to "talk about it" in protest.
Take a hike, troll.
I think you're misunderstanding me: how much more executions do you need to get the point across that “talking about it” no longer works?
That the theater of protest as been breached?
I can't take a hike while people get deathcamped. How about instead of theatrics we demolish 1 down‽
And what would you have us do?
There are legal steps still available to us by the Constitution, and we will follow those legal steps. The first is the Midterm elections in November, and the second is the Presidential Election in 2028. We will not surrender the last righteous Constitutional opportunities to follow an illegal strategy that is almost certain to fail, and will cause MAGA to lash back harshly.
We will have the Midterm elections, and see what happens. It is likely they will molest that election before, during, and after, but we have to hang tight, and fight through it. Then in two years, we'll do it again.
Between those two elections, we will resolve this, one way or another. It may take legislation, protests, and even violence, but we won't be the same when we come out the other side.
But we have to take the proper steps, and impulsively attacking some well-armed camp, with no real agenda or objective, is stupid and self-destructive. That's the way MAGAs think, only as far as the next step, with no concept of the reaction or consequences two or more steps down the road.
This is the time for intelligent, strategic thinking, not running headlong into rifle fire.
<fascists don't take legal stepsm8, does a terrorist need your permission to talk too‽
Just because MAGA is willing to throw away the Constitution, doesn't mean the rest of us are.
What constitution? The one that protected Epstein and his pals all this time, for five decades?
No, the one that has kept millions of Americans from being abused by their government for 250 years.
You and I have different histories of abuse.
Since you believe in laws and rules that protect exploiters, I am not sure there’s a need to engage this further.
Does this mean their 3 deathcamps are finally demolished‽
There's more than 3.

That’s horrible.
Fwiw, the only one in my state has the original date as 2024, and a separate search shows it’s 200 beds. That seems reasonable for back when we still believed in human rights and due process
👀 they created 4 more‽
I mean, it doesn’t seem to be getting “ice out” unless you could the 700 of 3000 they sent somewhere else.
It's been more about getting in the face of each roaming ICE gang and getting them to leave without rounding up as many victims as they wanted to. If the Police and National Guard would protect the populace it would help but so far it's just common individuals
The police and national guard protect the NATION, not the people. That was never part of their job.
All government employees are bastards.
Then they're failing because ICE and Trump and MAGA are destroying the NATION. They should be out there defending due process, the Bill of Rights and the rule of law, all of which ICE tramples in the mud.
Ummm they got that job so they could bully people and do whatever they want. Don’t bank on the police or the military being the ones to “do the right thing,” those people—all of them—are fucking baby killing scumbags.
Gonna be honest with you chief: you need to read more theory.
Acab but they don't HAVE to be, it's not an actual job requirement, just how it plays out in practice. Besides, we're only asking them to be bastards to the ICE bastards instead of to their neighbors, it's not THAT difficult.
Why would robbers want to be bastards to fellow robbers‽
Jealousy? Could work.
Not working even in Italy rn…
They swear an oath to the constitution and what ice is doing is unconstitutional because it violates the fourth amendment and what they’re doing to protesters violates the first amendment.
Does this oath worked for Kent State & Philly?
No but the backlash to the killings ultimately led to the end of the Vietnam war. I never said that the military has never broken the law I simply stated that they take an oath to the constitution and that is a fact
An oath that is broken all the time: and serves no one
HahahahhahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahaahhHhHhHhHhHhHhH
You’re gonna be one day person when you realize that ZERO of them plan to get courtmartialed for a few million dead citizens.
Things in real life take longer than ticktock blurbs. It took years to fuck it this bad. It can't be unfucked overnight.
It took one year to fuck it and by the time it gets unfucked we will all be dead of old age. So, you can keep believing there will be another election, but honey everything rational says otherwise.
