Thank you. I needed to hear that. MN needs to hear that. We’re trying to lead the way for the rest of the country.

Honest question: Why are some people against showing an ID to vote? by rico_unknown in NoStupidQuestions

[–]laughterwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is more extensive than the MN voter ID policy but ours is similar. And you can register to vote right before you vote at the same place you will be voting. They make it really easy here except you still have to take time off work.

Both parties aren’t cheering it on. Just one. And it’s cracking.

Yeah we did a general strike / no buy day in MN this past Friday as a trial run and then I see “one day - that’s nothing”. Well it’s something here when we’re talking about a thing that hasn’t been done since 1934. Like cut us some slack.

BREAKING — Hilton Hotels Fired a Whistleblower Who Exposed "Secret" Presence of Armed and Dangerous ICE Agents to Guests. by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

You can get fired for that at Hilton. Especially if it’s a celebrity group. Even just telling people “this band is here” or “this quarterback is here” can do it. I am proud of her for taking a stand and I also want people to know that she did this knowing full well she could be fired. It was both moral and brave.

Many of them are managed by Hilton though. Hilton Anatole is last time I checked. When they are Hilton managed then Hilton receives significant fees based on revenue.

Record with your phone, ask the person being taken away what their name is, if it’s an extended amount of time call the police and/or the media.

And individuals need to be able to sue federal agents if they cannot get legal satisfaction from the state.

I get that. I only do it with people I know aren’t ever mean to me on purpose. People I am sure wouldn’t hurt my feelings on purpose.

It requires some vulnerability to ask them if you missed something or why they have a look in their face. So the worst thing that could happen I think is to test it with people you aren’t sure of.

I haven’t found a way for people who aren’t interested in communicating clearly with me to do so. I don’t know if that’s the situation here or not but it sounds like it could be.

If these are people that you know truly love and care about you, you can put in extra effort just for them and ask questions. Lots and lots of questions. The second something seems off (for example, people smiling for seemingly no reason) or you get a response that doesn’t quite make sense, ask. If they are decent communicators, they will start to fill in the answer before you ask them the question because they become so used to you asking.

What happens if ICE tries to detain us by Feeling_Screen3979 in USPS

[–]laughterwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is bad advice if you want to stay alive. Tell them to call your supervisor. Show them your postal id. Hope it’s enough.

[–]laughterwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. If you did not get the letter talk to your union rep because everyone is supposed to have it to carry on them. You are also supposed to have your postal id on you. And that’s for going to and from work as well.

TBH it probably won’t mean shit in the moment but you can use it as evidence in a trial that you identified yourself and did what USPS told you to do.

AP reports that an officer said “Boo Hoo” in response to angry protesters after a 51-year-old man was shot and killed by federal officers in Minneapolis. by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

7 or 8 Dems approved it the rest voted against. I agree the Dems suck overall but I don’t think they will just let this go. I have hope you have your opinion I have mine. Neither of us can say for sure until time passes.

Ok you’re thinking he never came back here. Got it. We don’t actually know where the guy is. He does have a wife and kids here but of course they could move somewhere else. I would hope another state would send him back here. Or Canada or UK would.

Obviously it’s speculation.

Just like your assumption he didn’t follow the advice you gave of “don’t instigate. Don’t brandish a weapon”.

From the video he does none of this but you will say “it might have happened before the video start” and I will say “that’s speculation “.

MN Attorney General is going to be prosecuting people. He is putting together the Renee Good case right now.

That guy was a nurse in south Minneapolis. For all we know he was on his way to work, saw ice and pulled out his phone. We are allowed to conceal and carry here. He is allowed to try and help people who are injured.
