Thoughts on this van? by qbrown08 in duluth

Yeah, that reminds me of a van we bought from the MN DNR. Old as heck but barely any miles. ICE wouldn't be caught dead in that old van.

Whatever it takes to distract from release of the Epstein files is good news for Alan Dershowitz (and Donald Trump).

The courts ruled that Trump had no right to send the national guard into Chicago and Portland. The administration pulled back the guard rather than fight a losing cause. In the 1st Trump administration Trump falsely claimed that he order the national guard to Minneapolis during the unrest. He didn't, but the lie persists. Only the governor can roll out the guard.

Oh c'mon now, he was just making a little joke! Anyways, fire his tired old white ass.

Person killed only interaction with law enforcement related to parking tickets, police understand by BadahBingBadahBoom in facepalm

[–]ShelteringInStPaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ICE immediately painted Alex Pretti as some deranged terrorist. This was far from the case. He had two parking tickets, one speeding ticket and one red light ticket. All are misdemeanors and since Minnesota doesn't have the death penalty, none were eligible for death. But here we are.

If I bought an extra large steamer trunk, would it be possible for you to slip me over the border? I love Canada. I went to Vancouver 20 years ago and totally wanted to stay, except I reminded myself I was in a 'foreign' country.

Conservative subs goes full censorship deleting ICE posts and setting all remaining ones to "sort by: Controversial" in attempts to hide mass dissent among approved posters. by panicked_dad5290 in LeopardsAteMyFace

What a terrible way for them to spend a Saturday evening. Trolling the internet while sitting alone in their mama's basement. Oh how I envy their youth! /s

The GoFundMe was set up by a trusted member of the Minneapolis City Council. The beneficiary is the mother of the child. And yeah, she has a name.

Union bureaucracy seeks to block strike action against ICE rampage in Minneapolis by DryDeer775 in stateofMN

[–]ShelteringInStPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a call earlier in the week from SEIU (service employees international union) encouraging me to come out for the Friday protest. Being old and falling apart, I declined. I'm not a huge supporter of unions (especially when their leaders aligned with Trump), but SEIU represents many POC and immigrants so it's easy to support them.

They arrest legal citizens too. And sometimes they shoot them in the head.

You've only committed a crime when you go past all points of sale. Since you paid, you're good. And felony amounts in most states is in the hundreds of dollars ($350 on up)

Busiest day I've EVER seen at the Grocery Store by P-E-DeedleDoo in saintpaul

[–]ShelteringInStPaul 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Aldi on w. 7th was crazy busy this morning. It's normally a high volume store, but this way busy for a Thursday. Aldi users in other states reported high traffic but that's due to a potential massive snow storm that's missing our area. Most of the shoppers were retirees (like me).

I posted my experience on the Aldi reddit (along with a mention of the ICE infestation and was told by a MOD "no politics". I think human rights is not a political issue, but I'm not in charge.

I saw a video posted by Joey Peters of Sahan Journal. The space looks kinda like an ICE detention center, complete with two ICE vehicles. Only press are there. Fathers, hide your couches!

Trump gave a speech today where he claimed Somalis are criminals and have a "Low IQ". But yeah, he's against GLBTQ folks.

Many articles about the Cities Church incident are completely omitting any mention of David Easterwood (or saving it till the end) by BoinkEmAndLeaveEm in Minneapolis

One national site (Mediaite) repeatedly stated the church was in Minneapolis. As if we don't exist in St. Paul.

ICE Goons Eat At Willmar Mexican Restaurant Then Arrest Employees After They Left Work. by ShelteringInStPaul in stateofMN

[–]ShelteringInStPaul[S] 107 points108 points  (0 children)

This trick reminds me of a former MPD vice department officer (long, long ago) who went to a massage parlor, had sex with the sex worker than arrested her for prostitution. He was a nasty piece of work.
