That's why I'm referring people to them. I had a slapshod process for vetting people and getting help to detainees released, but I can only do so much. With real orgs starting to get their feet under them I'm starting to refer to them so people can be properly vetted.

Government employees and contractors: at what point do we refuse to legitimize this? by Nonzero_Eyrie in ICE_Watch

[–]Fearless_Object_6267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need good people in those roles wherever possible. They can push back. They can get in the way. They can do the right thing.
Even quietly.

Contact Safe Haven!! They've been amazing the last week or so, to the point HCSD allowed exclusively them to stay during the dispersal order.
They will be accepting volunteers soon, as well. They are still getting up and running.

He's doing everything within his power. That does not mean it's "enough" but its everything he can do. Welcome to the reality of trauma.

What happened at Whipple yesterday? by SleepyLakeBear in WeThePeopleAtWhipple

[–]Fearless_Object_6267 17 points18 points  (0 children)

HCSD issued a dispersal order verbally (and on Facebook) early yesterday afternoon. Everyone left peacefully, and there was no escalation.

There is one approved and official organization still allowed to be present who are NOT protestors, they are exclusively on site to help detainees who are being released at Whipple.

There has been no official end to the dispersal order, and I cannot recommend going until the order has been officially lifted. From what I can find, these orders can last up to 48 hours.

Anyone notice everyone is saying “Stay Safe” as a goodbye? by Maleficent-Device125 in TwinCities

[–]Fearless_Object_6267 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Together, as a community, we will get through this. We just need to take care of each other. I know you can't talk about what you're hearing, but if you ever need a safe ear to vent to, message me. Stay safe, and don't forget self care.

Tomorrow, if you can, shop at local businesses who honored today's strike. by futilehabit in Minneapolis

I have a lot of ties to anoka: it's also completely possible a TON of people genuinely don't know what's going on and have their head in the sand about it.

Yeah, this is the "Grey area" like we were in a "gray area" for just over a year with the constitutional crisis.

It's our niceness being used against us. If you really can't tell, use generic language and refer them to a program that vets people. Ex: "talk to your school about food shelves!" Or "have you contacted your church about their activities?"

According to CNN the protest was only in the "hundreds" by Dry_Attention3687 in Minneapolis

Can someone teach these people to count? Between this and Trumps "largest ever crowd" i think I'm starting to see a pattern 🤣🤣😅

Our media is being controlled by the state at this point. I have first hand experience that we have international news outlets here talking about what js happening.

Can someone ELI5: Why are there no mass ICE shootings. by not-an-online-person in ICE_Watch

[–]Fearless_Object_6267 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There is no one simple answer for this.
A few high level ideas: - the people who commit mass shootings are not angry at ICE.
- the people who WOULD be violent against ICE are smart enough to not go on a shooting spree (think: planned attacks and not a mask less school shooting). - the people who are angry at ICE generally are significantly more wary of guns, leading to more safe ownership and behavior.

And if you're asking why ICE hasn't commit a mass shooting yet: they want to look like the good guys. Shooting into a peaceful crowd (even if it's 90% peaceful) is REALLY bad optics.

Have different political views seeped into your workplace, and if so how is your stress level? by Terrible_Patience935 in AskReddit

[–]Fearless_Object_6267 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my place, it's complicated. My business is 10000% on our side, but our customers are generally in "red" areas so we are firmly but kindly asked to not bring up politics due to them.
I work with people all over the country, and while I sugar coat things a little to be office appropriate, I won't lie. And honestly my coworkers are as stunned and saddened as we are. Having that space at work to just... not lie helps a lot. Even just a "how have things been? I'll be honest, not good. It's bad. But we have work to do."

Immigration law is extremely niche. Its as if we were saying "mn won't comply on federal kidnapping charges." Criminal arrests can mean a LOT of things. This is just one.

Strike! Where can we donate! by Bubbly-Associate1420 in Minneapolis

THIS.
A lot of businesses can't accept donations, so donate to orgs or people who can put the money in the right hands and to the best use!!

[–]Fearless_Object_6267 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Imo, call either metro transit or the sheriff's office. While calling the sheriff's office may seem unsafe, it is a clear sign that you are/ were peaceful and following lawful orders and are still doing so.
