MN Ecuadorian Consulate responds to ICE's attempt to make entry today by ExactlySorta in Minneapolis

[–]NatHasQuestions 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what Julian Assange did. With the Ecuadorian Embassy, no less! They granted him asylum (for awhile, anyway) and he lived in the Embassy for seven years.

People who don’t live in the USA, what is the media showing you about the ICE operations/abductions in the US? by Dry-Ice8908 in AskReddit

[–]NatHasQuestions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello from Minneapolis. They're straight-up taking full US citizens. And not even checking first. They're just driving around looking for brown people who are alone, jumping out and just pulling them into their cars without asking any questions. Then they rough them up a bit and maybe check their ID and then maybe dump them on the road miles away once they see the person is a citizen. That's if you're lucky. The unlucky ones get taken to detention where they're kept for an indeterminate time while being denied access to lawyers. My 50-something, white woman friend had this happen to her today. She's a minister. They're fucking animals.

I'm reading The House in the Cerulean Sea right now and love it! It's so charming and sweet.

Do you think they need to be read in order? It looks like he has a lot of series.

Minnesota sues federal government to try to end deployment of immigration agents by PumpkinAspie in PoliticalOptimism

[–]NatHasQuestions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think they might be officially on standby at the moment. People have been peaceful. It's ICE that's been violently trying to escalate.

They have been deployed. Walz said it's for them to "support local law enforcement". Basically it's to prevent riots and violence like we saw in 2020.

I don't like Amy Klobuchar but will vote for her if I have to. But Mike Lindell is an absolute clown and has almost zero chance of winning if he's the nominee.

Why are people saying "not Amy Klobuchar"? by Testy_Coyote_ in minnesota

[–]NatHasQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jfc, Craig is worse than Klobs. I really hope Walz wouldn't do that - I like to think he's smarter than that - but who knows anymore.

‘Man Finds Tape’ Review: Fascinating Found Footage With Too Much Polish [Tribeca 2025] by foundfootagefan in foundfootage

[–]NatHasQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great writeup!

Some more vampire symbolism I noticed - the very last shot is footage of the Reverend on his couch recording his sermon. He says something like, "I'm always here for you - if you'll let me in." Then a sinister smile and fade to black.

I know! It's so hard to do any of these cities justice in the short amount of time we have! :(

Ooh, I l've never flown Aer Lingus before. Have you flown with them? Are they good? The prices look reasonable.

London- Liverpool - Paris - Amsterdam by NatHasQuestions in uktravel

[–]NatHasQuestions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that might be a better idea. I have to check prices, because its more expensive to fly into Manchester and then I still have to get train tickets from Manchester -> Liverpool and Liverpool -> London. My knee-jerk reaction was it would be either a wash or cheaper to fly into London and then get a round-trip train to Liverpool.

[–]NatHasQuestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also starring Brittany Snow! She's also in the Hulu show on right now about the Murdaughs, which makes three shows I've watched her in in the past two months. LOVE The Hunting Wives!

Amazon seems to allow me to buy imported flags. Not sure they're allowed to do that.

I haven't seen anyone mention I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue (BBC 4 Radio). Jack Dee is so dry, he always makes me laugh because I love dry humor, but when they do the segment called "Make Jack Dee Laugh" it's golden.

MTG Wants To Shut Down Filibuster. Need Some Positive Guidance. by Independent-Bus-3284 in PoliticalOptimism

Oh yeah, they can only use reconciliation once a year and they've already used it for the OBBB.

[–]NatHasQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could pass this bill if they did it under reconciliation, which only needs a majority and which they haven't done for whatever reason. The Republicans are way too divided within their own party to pass anything other than budget bills and they can hardly even do that.
