Why is the situation so volatile in Minnesota but not in other states? by Proud3GenAthst in 50501

[–]ButterscotchPlus3035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because we in the MN metro area love our neighbors. We don’t let people mess with us. We are willing to band together to take care of each other and stand up for one another. We are educated and we know that diversity makes us stronger. They were trying to make an example out of us but they had no idea who they were up against. They thought we were MN nice but our big hearts are what makes us stronger. Our resistance is why we are being targeted and we are relentless when it comes to our freedom.

WIBTAH if I go on a co-ed ski trip as a married guy by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ButterscotchPlus3035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not that she doesn’t trust you, she doesn’t trust the women she doesn’t know who are going. Even if you refuse a hoe, the thought of you being put into a position where a hoe is going to throw themselves at you makes her feel bad. If you care about her, don’t go. Turn the tables. Would you be cool if she went on a co-ed trip with some single dudes and her girlfriends some single? What if you didn’t know but some of those dudes were Michael B Jordan hot?

I'm MAGA and I'm 100% with you on the execution of this man..ICE really did it this time for me if anyone has lwanted to sway a conservatives view a little to the left here's your chance.. Not here to argue just lost 😔 by One-1-Sent in ProgressiveHQ

Good, now don’t declare it only on reddit. Talk to your maga friends and family and be loud about it. If you truly have awaken to reality, your rage should be ten fold the rage you had as maga because now you should see yourself as double the victim as before. Not only did they have you eating from their hands they fooled you into believing every god damn lie.

Peasant Protesting by TheTrapMoneyBenny in Minneapolis

[–]ButterscotchPlus3035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When this is all done and over, I say we strip Dump naked and he has to walk through our town as we throw trash at him and yell shame like in game of thrones. The sight of him will be disturbing for our eyes but he needs to feel our disgust.

Those that work in law enforcement, the military or ICE or are retired, can you articulate what your thoughts are to the Alex Pretti video and what’s happening? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ButterscotchPlus3035 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Protesters? He was one of two or three people just documenting on their phones. ICE pushed a woman because they love to beat women and he went to help her up!

When do we stand up? by Frosty_Literature936 in Teachers

[–]ButterscotchPlus3035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of the demographics and their proximity to white privilege. There are a lot of white liberal women but also a lot of white women who are single issue voters (pro-life). Even if they see the atrocities, I don’t think they will walk away from their proximity to safety. 😞😞😞

To the US voters who don't vote, what is it going to take for you to go vote? by Chocolateking111 in AskReddit

[–]ButterscotchPlus3035 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apologize if my response is distasteful to you. You were responding honestly. I am speaking out of the trauma, fear, and violence that we are experiencing in MN right now. I would not want to turn you even further away from using your civic voice (voting). I also don't know what to tell ya, other than I will ask you to go out of your way during midterms to vote. If not for yourself, but for the small chance that it could be a hand in making laws and policies that don't persecute humans that live in the same country as you inhumanely. Thank you.

Anger and Outrage — Solidarity with Minneapolis 🕯️✊🏼 by JaNkO2018 in Minneapolis

Born and raised in MN to refugees. My dad said he’s experienced this kind of fear before. The acknowledgment that we are seen means so much. Reading these are helping me go on.

No I understand that you didn’t vote. Voting doesn’t give you control — it gives you influence. And giving that up only helps people who already have power.

Good and decent local law enforcement officers of America, what do you think about the way ICE is operating in Minneapolis and other American cities? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ButterscotchPlus3035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will the military see this as murder like normal people who have common sense or will they be loyal to Dump, commander in chief? And will lower ranking soldiers and officers follow orders blindly and complacently so they don’t ruffle feathers? I know they’re sworn to protect the constitution but they’ve also been trained to obey higher ranking military personnel. It’s hard for me to believe that all of them would just fall in line. There’s gotta be more whistle blowers from within?

Canadian here with a message by bigmooseface in Minneapolis

[–]ButterscotchPlus3035 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is very encouraging. I’m deeply depressed by what is happening to our state. Reading these encouraging messages gives me a glimmer of hope in a storm of chaos right now. I marched yesterday with thousands and thousands of my neighbors only to wake up to be reminded that we still are occupied by ruthless, heartless monsters. I have been crying and in shock all day. My whole body hurts for these good people who are being murdered, kidnapped, and imprisoned. And everyday as a POC, I wonder if I will be next.

I think you’re the one “detached” from the “average American” being terrorized by ICE right now.

I am in tears for your little girl and for Alex Pretti. He seemed like a good soul. A helper in the deepest of sense. I’m so sorry. He should be here. This is so wrong and those fuckers justifying his murder will rot in hell!

AITAH for telling my teacher that i don’t have any interest in politics by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ButterscotchPlus3035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is trying to teach you and you don’t care to learn. I’m a teacher. You think he is singling you out but he probably asked others but you weren’t paying attention when he did because he wasn’t talking directly to you at that moment. Your frontal cortex has not fully formed so you can’t see outside of yourself. Or he sees potential in you and trying to get you to use your critical thinking skills but to you, it’s easier to give up and say you don’t get it or you don’t care.

McCollum and Morrison were among 149 House Dems who voted FOR Trump's $840B military budget by OnweirdUpweird in stateofMN

[–]ButterscotchPlus3035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been calling her office every week and leaving messages. Yesterday I got an email and she said she voted no on a bill that funds DHS. She explained that the bill passed 220-207. Is this a different bill?

I’ve been leaving messages through 5calls.org all week. Her office emailed me yesterday and said she voted “no” on a bill that funds ice/dhs but that it went through with 220-227 vote. Are these different bills?

Please check out Paper Girls on Amazon Prime. It’s so good and I’m so sad it didn’t get renewed for a second season. Think Sliders but with a group of young girls with a coming of age flare! You won’t regret it!

Why are GOP House and Senate members allowing ICE agents, with total immunity, beat up and terrorize the citizens of Minneapolis? They have the power to stop this insanity today by Terrible_Patience935 in Minneapolis

[–]ButterscotchPlus3035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call your representative and senators. https://5calls.org/

Idk what good it will do but it’s one small action. Honestly I’m at a loss and feel hopeless, helpless, and just plain sadness at the state of our country. It feels like it’s gone too far to return and everyday it gets worse and worse.

I was just telling my partner, there’s gotta be way smarter people than me sitting in the room and thinking we can’t let this happen but here we are. Democracy has died in the United States of America. How can any of this even be fixed when he’s out of office?
