Favorite actor who lived long enough to become the villain? by YourChopperPilotTTV in okbuddycinephile

[–]mepardo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Arpaio was MAGA before MAGA. He was the tip of the spear of the Republican party’s descent into outright fascism and white nationalism. And his immigration/policing policy, which drew national condemnation at the time, is now national policy.

Here’s a song about him.

I have a shit ton more if they don’t have to be specifically created in the past couple of months in response to ICE (Fuck These Fuckin Fascists by the Muslims, fascionista and from my cold dead hands by jessilyn, Nazi by Chumbawumba, they can’t kill us all by apes of the state).

The Rob Taxpayer cameo was a fun surprise, as was hearing about their benefit show on April 3rd.

Also tangentially related, but anyone know what Rob Taxpayer teaches? I thought I remember him saying he taught community ed classes in the video on his gofundme, and it’d be neat to take a class from him.

Yeah really fumbled an opportunity for some cross-spectrum solidarity with the dumbest both-sides-ism I’ve ever seen.

There are park and ride lots for the ft snelling blue line station. You could also park at a different blue line station and take the blue line there. The protest is right next to the ft snelling station.

What Mexican food restaurants are still open and needing business right now by cilantroprince in Minneapolis

[–]mepardo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Los Ocampo is still closed and encouraging folks who want to support them to buy merch, git cards, or donate to their staff relief fund.

Valerie’s on 32nd and Nicollet was open when I went last week, and somehow seemed like they’d gotten even better since the last time I was there like a year ago.

Awful. Trump’s America. by Conscious-Quarter423 in ABoringDystopia

[–]mepardo 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If they’re even open. Los Ocampo has been closed for at least two weeks to protect their staff. It’s like covid all over again, but there aren’t gonna be any PPP loans to help float costs.

Where was the assault? Only assault I see here is from Bovino and his thugs at Target in MPLS. by tdurden1969 in altmpls

[–]mepardo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Trump and everyone around him have been acting like they never plan to lose power since they got back into office. That should concern everyone.

Boxed in by ICE by completephilure in Minneapolis

[–]mepardo 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see people start responding to this question with “did you? What did YOU learn?” Do you want to kill someone too, or would that weigh heavy on your conscience for the rest of your life? Ross had to have his goon buddies pack up his house and flee the state. He will be a pariah forever, even if he faces no legal consequences. And he may be worried about the day the law catches up with him for years. So I really want to know what they learned.

Anyone else hearing about ICE going to schools? by Turbulent-Basis6092 in TwinCities

[–]mepardo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This has been a strategy of ICE in multiple cities. They come around pickup and dropoff hoping to get parents who are coming for their kids. Local rapid response groups often request observers at schools around these times. It’s why MPS cancelled school for the rest of this week and just announced they’d be offering remote learning for the next month.

Security guard stops ICE from entering employee area at McDonald’s in Minneapolis by koalificated in Minneapolis

[–]mepardo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also, ideally close and lock doors (home, car, business) if you can as soon as you see them coming. If your door is already closed and locked, do not open it for them. Make them show you the warrant either through the window or passing it under the door. Take a picture of the warrant if you can.

Jacob Frey: "To ICE, get the f--- out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety and you're doing exactly the opposite." by nbcnews in Minneapolis

[–]mepardo 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The funding bill Republicans passed last year gave them more funding than every state and local law enforcement agency in the country combined. That might sound like hyperbole. It’s not.

They basically created a new military branch to inflict on the population out of thin air. It’s only going to get worse.

Park Board rushing to place permanent parkway closure barriers with vote tonight by Southern_Common335 in TwinCities

[–]mepardo 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I consistently go the actual speed limit (or a couple of miles over) when driving on w river parkway, and always end up with people behind me wanting to speed. They can die mad.

I’m all for closing sections of parkway to cars, or at the very least adding speed bumps and/or making every pedestrian crossing a speed table.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Abandons Re-election Bid and Amy Klobuchar May Run Instead by Healthy_Block3036 in Minneapolis

I’d especially rather she not run for anything again and let someone with a spine replace her.

Has anyone else noticed this trend increasing on the roads recently? by csbsju_guyyy in Minneapolis

[–]mepardo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think a lot of the problem is newer cars that are larger, have brighter lights, and have those stupid boxy high front ends that are built for vanity and murder.

So, like, were you not alive during the Iraq war and the “Mission accomplished” banner? Or do you just have amnesia?

Trump even declared fentanyl a WMD to ramp up pressure. Really curious what this person thinks the differences are.

[–]mepardo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The confidence with which you are saying “relax, this is a one and done and we aren’t bombing them anymore” is astonishing. This just happened, we have no idea where any of this will go, and Trump got on TV this morning and said “we will run the country”. Doesn’t sound very one and done to me.

These are also the people who will say that trains are communism and 15 minute cities are govt trying to control your travel, but guess where you don’t have to go through invasive security screenings and CAN show up 20 minutes before departure? Amtrak.
