"Tens of thousands of Minnesotans took to the streets today in bitter cold temperatures with wind chills of -20°F (–28°C) to protest the occupation of Minneapolis and St. Paul by federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Status Coup News interviewed a protester walking down the street holding a sign that said: 'CLASSIC NAZI BLUNDER: INVADING IN WINTER.'”

David Nir talks with Aaron Rupar, who lives in Minneapolis and describes to Nir what it has been like living in a city occupied by lawless masked thugs. Nir states,
"This kind of collective punishment is absolutely part of the fascist playbook. It is something that Trump and Stephen Miller and Bovino all want."

"Obviously we've had natural disasters, we've had, you know, different sorts of tragedies that have befallen communities, but when you're targeted by the government that is supposed to represent you for kind of pretextual reasons that are obviously very political in nature… It's a really, it's just really surreal to live through that. It's nothing that I expected to go through."

"Donald Trump has built what his first term only suggested-an interconnected infrastructure of fear aimed at mixed‑status families and immigrant‑heavy cities. It is not just hundreds of thousands of deportations with a goal of millions; it is the way government has been remade so that daily life itself is risky."

@wdlindsy That’s horrendous. You can see the smoke coming from the gun, and the shooter ICE guy just holsters it and steps over the body of the man he just murdered. I lost count of the number of shots….

/7you see this clearly. I see this clearly. But news outlets refuse to report how Trump's White House is breaking the constitution and how we have a duty as Americans to stand up and fight. News outlets are not telling us how to stay safe as a drug test. The fourth estate has betrayed us. Just like it always has. It's always supported the rich, and waged class war against the rest of us.

/14"He's really upset. This [NYT-Siena] poll shows that he's essentially lost…. He's lost the consent of the governed. He's underwater 16 points in his approval in this poll. And of course, he wouldn't be truthing about it if it wasn't devastating.
You know, Trump needs approval. He needs affirmation. He's desperate for it. And when he doesn't get it, he throws a tantrum. And that's what we're seeing."

@wdlindsy midterms aren't going to stop this rolling out into every city / terror is the point / until everyone is running out there to save someone being kidnapped and executed at will, the fear wins
