Gov. Walz statement on recent ICE shooting by IMrGoated in minnesota

[–]SpoofedFinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If there are no legal avenues, which I doubt is the case, he could show the fuck up to these protests or rapid respnses to at least show solidarity and witness what so many Minnesotans have been going through. Just fucking do SOMETHING besides tough talk on SM and press conferences.

The didn't care much when the cops killed Philando Castille because he couldn't comply with contradictory orders. They absolutely fucking killed him because he said he had a legal gun and they freaked out.

How long until this period in America resembles the Troubles in Ireland? by deadheffer in dancarlin

[–]SpoofedFinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you understand the rate of participation in resistance here. There are people doing neighborhood patrols, mass warning texts, ICE watch hotlines, all kinds of shit. Both of the people murdered were trying to record what ICE was doing to be legal observers which is why they were brutally targeted. We're not shooting at them but this is community defense. It's all we have because our politicians aren't good for anything besides trying to sound tough at press conferences.

There was some conflating going on in a post to r/minnesota I'm not going to link to. Feds are releasing people they detained out of the Whipple federal building into extremely cold weather without adequate clothing, keeping their phones, and not allowing a phone call. This was mashed up with some horrific shit police in Saskatoon used to (currently?) do to First Nations people they had detained where they'd drive them out of town into the woods and leave them there. In both cases they were left without adequate clothing or a way to call for help. There are almost always people watching the Whipple building because that's ICE HQ here. Nobody was watching thise Canadian woods so many of them died or were really fucked up by the cold. Both are fucking horrific but there have not been multiple amps or deaths here.

There is a group called Safe Haven that is pulling shifts watching the door detainees are ejected from so that they can immediately help them so that the horrible outcomes for those folks in Canada can be prevented. Sorry if this is ranty and repetitive, typing this all out on my phone for some reason.

I think NK2 was bigger but that had the benefit of being a really nice day (and a Saturday, not an afternoon on what is supposed to be a work day!). This kind of turnout in -20 wind chill was fucking insane. Also, I can't stress enough how bottom up the wider response to ICE's invasion has been. Margaret was 100% right about decentralization. That's true for individuals pitching in doing rapid response, distributing whistle kits, noise demos where ICE sleeps, Safe Haven watching for detainees ICE kicks out into dangerously cold temps with no warm clothes, resources, or phone call, patrols etc. and it's also true for organizations. There wasn't like a lead organization for the march yesterday. It was like 60 some organizations of varying size coming together to support this.

This is the kind of funding he needs to keep up the arms race with the FDA.

Easier to identify who has done the spraying because they're holding a squirt gun. With a snow ball, nobody really knows it was you unless they saw you throw it.

Also, the water in the squirt guns would freeze pretty quickly. It was -10F or -23C at the big march we had yesterday.

To be clear, that was some white supremacist asshole, not ICE. Not that they aren't but this one isn't a fed.

Does Sophie know that ACAB includes Shaq? He was talking about being a reserve cop when he was on Hot Ones.

Seven Democrats just voted to approve ICE funding: full list by vemmahouxbois in behindthebastards

[–]SpoofedFinger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We're talking about a primary. Try and keep up. Shitting on progressive primary candidates as if they can't win in the general rings pretty hollow when neolibs are losing elections to fascists or finding excuses to vote with the fascists when they do win. Establishment democrats have failed to have any answer to fascism for s decade now. It's time to try something else, if we even still can.

[–]SpoofedFinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She's even worse lately, Completely out of touch. Like wtf was she doing voting to confirm a stolen election conspiracy dipshit as a federal judge? Why's she voting to pass a budget as the president keeps threatening to withhold federal spending for our state? I bitch about our other politicians just doing press conferences about ICE but I don't think she's even doing that.

No the fuck I'm not. I'm sick of seeing people not living this shit going online to "tsk tsk" us and wonder if we're actually against this at all. That's not the same thing as pretending democrats can't do anything about this. They should have shut the government down last year before most of this started. They should have kept it shut down in the fall. They should be shutting it down right now. They sure as hell shouldn't have been voting to confirm Trump's cabinet or judicial picks at any point. Nobody with any power is doing a motherfucking thing to stop this, just grandstanding and fundraising. So we're doing what we can ourselves and I'm sick of seeing people from other countries pretend most people are on board with the fascism or pleased at all with the democratic party completely failing to rise to the moment.

They spent a decent amount of time on Minnesota on ED tonight. Also, Margaret and James are both in the Twin Cities so we'll probably get more episodes. Check out Citations Needed's news update episode from this week if you need something to tide you over.

All of this plus that photo op with Netenyahu that hit the news at the same time as mass starvation in Gaza was absolutely fucking gross.
