If Russian oligarchs can be sanctioned for the invasion of Ukraine, these oligarchs can be sanctioned for fascism.

They canceled the Minneapolis LEGO Robotics tournament over general safety concerns. Not that the tournament was even targeted; it’s just so ICEy here.

The kids had made custom T-shirts for their teams and everything.

I know this is just one little thing, a footnote to what’s happening, but…fuck all the Nazis.

@Npars01

Do any of these folks donate to current scotus menbers??

@mossyrua

Yup. Koch Network arranges 'speaking engagements', vacations, expensive dinners, real estate ventures, insider trading, jobs for spouses, tuition, book deals, etc for SCOTUS.

Stuff just like this is happening all over the city.

@inthehands

Reminder that these Nazis have same kind of financial backers as last time...

Looted national treasuries laundered to fund fascism.
Jean Ziegler "The Swiss, the Gold, and the Dead"

Annie Jacobsen "Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program that Brought Nazi Scientists to America"

James Pool "Hitler and His Secret Partners"

James Pool "Who Financed Hitler: The Secret Funding of Hitler's Rise to Power, 1919-1933"

They definitely don’t want us to have nice things. They are absolute sadists. An entire regime of them. I’m so sad and disappointed for the kids. It’s a big thing. Hope & Joy are big things. #fuckICE

Minneapolis is becoming the Portland of the Upper Midwest.

Lets make sure the kids understand it's the fascists' fault.
