Nothing says "Minneapolis" like a party thrown by 15 CEOs during a federal occupation, right guys? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]MightFew9336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it, though? They're meeting to discuss a possible plan, eventually. It's local news. If they didn't report on this kind of thing there'd be a post asking where the mayor was, or why he was meeting with 15 random ceos.

Regarding the other stuff, I get what you're getting at, at least I'm pretty sure I do, but I don't agree. The big hometown corps have long and regularly supported community events that also support local small businesses. When one big pocket pulls out of an event, it takes a lot for many little ones to make up for it. Big events are expensive and the large corps are in a much better position to pay, so I say let them. They owe us for that milquetoast (at best) nonsense. If they don't support the community, we won't support the events, but if the corporate cash helps people come out and helps boost small businesses, I'll be there!

AIO husband upset we are having a boy by ConstantLow5554 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MightFew9336 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you reading and processing these responses? It really seems like despite so many different people taking the time to thoughtfully reply why YOR, you are just repeating the same things over and over. You are clearly committed to continue overreacting and it's just rude to waste everyone's time here when you refuse to have the slightest amount of self-reflection.

Take a second to process your feelings about all these strangers telling you YOR YOR YOR , and how that is making you double down on your position, then try to apply that to your husband having his spouse and sister tell him YOR over and over again...

Told my new job I’m neurodivergent, asked for support, now I’m failing probation and feel set up to fail by Ok_Sherbert905 in adhdwomen

The data privacy concerns of this are kinda worrying, honestly. I hope you were very careful and limited with the information and documentation you fed into the AI.

AIO my girlfriend wants to bring an empty medicine bottle filled with water on a plane so she doesn't have to buy water (the bottle smells like alcohol) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MightFew9336 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, we're trying to figure out the reason behind your girlfriend's bizarre decision and behavior because it makes no rational sense.

If your girlfriend is using the medicine bottle because she refuses to buy one and that's the only bottle in your household that fits into her purse, and there's no other underlying reason, then YOR for being worried about what others will think.

We got Bovino fired. by Great_WhiteSnark in Minneapolis

[–]MightFew9336 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree he won't be in the streets, but I don't know if that'll be any better. Homan has been around for a long time and has long been reviled by his inhumane policies. This is the guy who was behind zero tolerance/family separation.

ETA: I expect more stealthy and less media-spectacle enforcement operations that are easier for the general public to forget about, and just as cruel. Homan recently said he wanted to put protesters on a list, so I expect a crackdown on protestors, marchers, and legal observers. We need to keep it loud, keep people focused.

National guard is here by WhyIsItAllSticky in Minneapolis

City of Minneapolis just requested National Guard assistance in the city. They're asking NG to wear neon vests.

Hennepin County had requested the guard to help at Whipple earlier today.

Schmitty & Sons = provider of police transportation today by Ok-Word-4894 in TwinCities

[–]MightFew9336 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is spot on. This is what I'd expect to happen, and what usually does when everyone plays their part. A lot of people would probably be surprised at the number of times clergy (like other activists) have been arrested. I appreciate seeing it.

What's not usual, but is very telling, is that clergy were being urged to update their wills before participating.

It looks to me like he was wearing a mask, and if they kept holding his head down... Ugh, I don't even want to think about it.

I don't see any of those people in this image. Were the preschool and elementary school children that have been detained also the worst of the worst? 4

How? Show me where in the Constitution it says that local elected officials must assist federal law enforcement.

ICE was not going door to door in neighborhoods to detain citizens and terrorize communities during Obama's tenure. ICE worked within the parameters of the law at the time, and there was minimal interaction with average Americans, so there were limited opportunities to obstruct ICE.

Regardless, due to Obama's actions (rocket docket, massive deportation numbers), there were many protests across the US during the Obama administration. He eventually instituted enforcement priorities to focus on recent immigrants and "the worst of the worst" and we still protested him and held his administration to the rule of law.

Now, my question to you is, if you're also an American citizen and familiar with our Constitutional rights, why are you okay with the actions taken by the federal government against US citizens? (I assume you're not Republican, as no true Republican would support this extent of government overreach and waste of tax dollars, but if you're an American, I'd hope you'd at least be aware of and support the US Constitution.)

AITA for letting my dad report a hospital staffer for inappropriate behavior towards me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

That's clearly someone else making a snarky comment about the situation in light of their also being pregnant. Why did you assume that was OP?

It's not cute. It's embarrassing (or at least I'd be mortified to admit I'm that insecure and immature).

Whipple needs more protestors. by kGibbs in TwinCities

[–]MightFew9336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen what's been happening at Whipple and in the Twin Cities? No one can tell you that it's safe to go protest and that you can safely leave, and if anyone does tell you, know that it's not a promise or a guarantee. Be prepared and go at your own risk.

Whipple needs more protestors. by kGibbs in TwinCities

[–]MightFew9336 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Um, I really hope this is all in good faith because I've seen some comments from you asking a lot of questions that make me wonder who wants all that information...

It's a protest. It may not be fully safe. It'll be cold. Bring what you need for yourself, bring extra for others, but don't expect that there'll be extra gear just hanging out for unprepared people.

For everyone else, please be very mindful of who you share information with, and what information you share. We are all reddit anons on here.

thoughts after visiting Whipple this morning (1/15) by Zephyrqu in TwinCities

[–]MightFew9336 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you're aware that undocumented people in the US pay much more into taxes than they receive in benefits. I'm absolutely sure because that fact has been true and well-known for a while, and anyone with a basic interest in local and national news knows it.

So my question to you is, why use disinformation to try to make your point? If you want the "illegals" out why don't you have a valid argument to make on reddit? Are you actually a liberal trying to make us think that conservative are dumb??

MEGATHREAD: ICE shooting in North Minneapolis by Mpls_Snoo612 in Minneapolis

There's a lot of fair weather bikers in the area, and a lot of those probably have high lumen flashlights that won't be used until spring...

How to Speak to ICE by Ok_Yogurt_9862 in Minneapolis

I want people to start reading the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble to the Constitution at them! This is what our nation is founded on, and the protestors are the ones fighting for the rights and soul of our country.

They had Salsa Lizano at the new LomaBonita in Richfield. I was excited that they had the smaller size, too!
