Are they supposed to take?

There needs to be other avenues toward "winning" the day, other than falling into the trap.

If the Insurrection Act is deployed, the torture won't stop. The abuse will be worse.

I don't know all the strategic moves right now.

I have seen Timothy Snyder share some words of wisdom. Maybe I can find some guidance from him, or others.

Right now the gestapo is not winning, as long as the world can see what they are doing. There will be consequences.

Like I said - we need to get to impeachment.

And people need to get the RepubliCONS in Congress to do their job. I'm not sure how...but we need to keep the pressure on them.

For the people, I just don’t see impeachment happening. I sure hope it could happen though!

Some of them are finding their red line.

We are in untenable times. I never knew I could be so angry.

How many can actually follow their conscience and their oath? Are there not enough?

For one thing, you don’t just need “a few Republicans” to flip, you need almost half of the Republicans in the Senate. And, trust me…none of them gives a damn what happens to people in blue cities in blue states.

I haven't completely given up hope yet....yet.

…I am pessimistic about being able to pull it off. We’ve been resisting peacefully for over a year, and all it results in is the regime turning up the pressure even more. IMO, they’re just going to keep amping it up until they get the reaction they want…or pretend they did (as in the claim that what’s happening in Minneapolis is already sufficient for the Insurrection Act). However much restraint we show, I fear it’s only a matter of time.

We are in untenable times. Nothing makes "sense".

But I do think WE THE PEOPLE have a force and it is a peaceful force.

Will we get to the other side of this? I dunno. I feel like we are walking a tightrope....and I'm not good at that.

to confront ICE that the nation would recognize do not justify the response the administration wants to inflict upon the city.

Minnesota is the experiment. We are all at risk.

Extreme right wing MAGA influencer Nick Sortor is pissed

the expected high temperature in Minneapolis on Monday is -2 below zero, perfect weather conditions for Ice skating

who will be coming here from places where it doesn't get nearly that cold. The shrinkage will be epic.

People who live in warmer climates usually don't know how to dress for that kind of weather. And if they do, they won't have the needed items (long underwear, etc.) In their wardrobes. They definitely won't be up for it!

one of my nieces from southern CA stopped here on her way to attend Syracuse U. I asked her if she was prepared for a Syracuse winter? She said yes, she had brought a sweater with her. She was in for a shock.

They are a hardy folk. They are so solid in their interviews.

Slip sliding away
Slip sliding away
You know the colder the refrigeration
The more you’re slip sliding away

(with apologies to Paul Simon)

There have been peaceful demonstrations of various sizes all over the twin cities and suburbs every day, and the organizers and participants have been emphasizing the need to remain calm. The ICE goons at the HQ try to provoke confrontation, and what happened last night isn't clear but nobody believes DHS' version. Thousands of people have participated in protests without incident, and the mood is determined and defiant but controlled. There's always the possibility that some hothead could get out of control, but so far that sort of thing seems to be getting shut down. This is much different from what happened after the George Floyd murder.

And it isn't easy with the assault they/you are under.

During the George Floyd protests, there were infiltrators who created destruction, such as the burning of the police station....as you know.

It is clear from the rhetoric that the evil regime wants to instigate a scenario where they can implement the Insurrection Act. They have a mission. They will false flag it, or whatever it takes.

My heart breaks all day long for what the community is going through. I want the community to get through this without something worse.

My heart is with all of you.

To start fires and throw bricks through windows. And trump is exaggerating how bad it is every chance he gets. So it won't matter what the protesters do. This is all preplanned trump will do what he what's and it looks like no one is going to stop him.

If he attacks Greenland we are done. Inflation will soar, shelves will be empty and we will be just like Russia and North Korea.

The protestors didn't burn down the police station - the Boogaloo Boise did.

Right - so much of this is a distraction. We are constantly waiting for the next shoe to drop.

The fires were started by the militia guys from the surrounding county ala rittenhouse..

The county gas stations reported that they had county people filling up gas cans and headed into town. But they caught a few protesters throwing bricks on camera so they got the blame.

It's the instigators.

I sometimes wish the protesters would just stop and let the instigators be exposed. The pointing them out doesn't work for shit. Cops will do nothing. In fact when Rittenhouse was pointed out the cops gave him the thumbs up.

and being more "cautious".

I broke down at a vigil the other night. I want my country back.

I want the killing and mauling of our citizens, by federal agents, to stop.

I want accountability for those behind all of this.

because I will NOT be manipulated by those on social media who are trying to suppress turnout.

IT is all about being smart. I would say the citizens of MN are showing great restraint.

Even his dead rat that he used as an alarm clock was more hygenic then his dank ass

Asmongold has appeared on this site before and each time he is recognized as a right-wing scumbag.

Enjoy your pizza.

I haven't seen any references or videos

And people will.

It has barely been one year.

How long are we expecting people to suck it up again?
