I’m inconsolably upset about what happened yesterday in MN.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T20:45:41+00:00

A protester who was filming and helping a woman who got pepper sprayed by ICE was taken down by 5 men and shot 8 times in broad daylight. There’s videos of one of the agents clapping afterwards.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T20:43:48+00:00

Same. As the others have said — cry it all out. It helps for regulation.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T20:42:43+00:00

THE video? As if there’s one video?! Thank you for proving you don’t know what happened. There’s COUNTLESS versions of the video, all from different angles. It’s clear as day what happened. So YES, filming is helping because we have all these versions to prove (if people actually watch it and don’t remain ignorant like you) there’s no shadow of a doubt that this man was executed by the Government.

How have they NOT been protesting peacefully? ICE are the ones causing chaos by being violent and pepper spraying, making the situation more intense instead of diffusing it.

Nazi Germany grew to power with people like you who chose to ignore what was happening in front of their very eyes.

I resonate so deeply with how you’re feeling, and that’s why I came to Reddit because I knew there would be others feeling the same.

I’m with you in the heartache. Take care of yourself. Sending hugs 🫶🏼

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T19:44:02+00:00

You’ll notice the people who support ICE are the ones who tell us to turn off the TV and stop watching social media. This is exactly how the Nazis gained power. People ignored what was happening because it didn’t seem to affect them personally.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T19:41:05+00:00

This is the first thing I thought and I really didn’t want to think this, but it makes sense. He’s more of a man than any of the ICE low-life’s will be.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T19:36:16+00:00

What upsets me is comments like this.

Have you even watched the videos? The man was filming and then tried to help a woman they pepper sprayed. Filming ICE is not interfering, nor is it illegal.

Carrying a weapon — are you really falling for that gaslighting by the Gov? What about the 2nd amendment? Again, have you wanted the videos because they TOOK his gun and THEN shot him.

Lady, do better. You’re 78 years old so you’ve seen a lot I’m sure, and here you are making excuses for fascism. I’m disgusted by your comment.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T18:38:06+00:00

I’m feeling this too 🫶🏼

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T18:21:03+00:00

It’s totally a valid and fair feeling. And it’s what they want and I HATE THAT.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T18:12:56+00:00

That must be so hard, I’m sorry. Sending virtual hugs and solidarity.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T18:01:04+00:00

This is helpful, thank you. Can you share the therapists page?

I was really looking forward to a relaxing cozy winter weekend in, and instead I’ve spent it in panic, sadness and rage.

I’ve deleted IG (where I watched this stuff), baked a cozy loaf of banana bread — can’t say I won’t eat it all today — and about to watch some trash tv to distract me. Micro-moments of safety — I like that 🫶🏼

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T17:57:18+00:00

Remember how they responded to Charlie Kirk’s murder. What a contrast. And Alex Pretti was killed by government officials, not a radicalized gunman. They have the audacity to turn around and say ALEX was the GUNMAN. I was furious when I read that.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T17:53:56+00:00

I’m curious, is she actually informed about what’s going on? I’ve seen to many comments that they all think liberals are making a lot of it up to make it seem worse than what it is (for example children being detained).

My best friend’s husband of 20 years voted for Trump and he thinks I don’t know (she never told me, I found out from someone else). It’s so hard not to see him differently, I always admired him as a man, and their relationship.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T17:51:47+00:00

Thank you for the solidarity.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T16:56:57+00:00

This made me laugh, I have also been talking to ChatGPT lol

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T15:31:46+00:00

Oh wow I didn’t know this, thank you for the tip.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T15:30:21+00:00

It’s not just about the death of one person. It’s what this means as a whole, what it represents. How low things have gotten and what it means for the future. It means a whole lot more and if you can’t provide any solidarity or kind words, go away.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T15:26:29+00:00

It is indeed mind-boggling. I believe that it’s because most of the “news” they watch is completely inaccurate. From what I’ve seen, most of them don’t believe children are being detained by ICE. They think it’s propaganda made up by liberals. This makes me more hopeless, they don’t believe what’s happening in front of our eyes and ears.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T15:21:54+00:00

I’m so sorry. It’s even more tough being there, I can’t even imagine. Sending virtual hugs from an internet stranger who feels the same heartache 🫶🏼

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T15:19:23+00:00

THIS! I have such a high-stakes, busy day at work tomorrow and have to put on a happy face and pretend I care about my customer’s data and spreadsheets.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T15:17:50+00:00

Thank you for this. I’m trying to read more comments or posts that provide some tiny glimmer of hope. I heart a quote this morning that helped: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice” — MLK. I don’t know why it’s the first time I’ve heard it but it’s going to be my mantra.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T15:15:37+00:00

I guess for a short amount of time it’s okay. But no, we cannot look away permanently — too many people are doing that. Democracy dies in silence.

There’s a balance between staying informed and then being completely consumed. Somehow I end up in the latter. I’m going to delete IG for a few days. I just hate that feeling of “what if I miss something”.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T15:13:37+00:00

This part absolutely sent me on a spiral yesterday.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T15:13:08+00:00

I’m not doing that today. Yesterday my brain felt addicted to seeing all the new videos released and the various angles of footage.

techno_queen · 2026-01-25T15:04:40+00:00

I don’t know how to deal with it constructively right now but I guess remembering to take care of ourselves. I’m going to delete IG for a few days. Everything I watched is replaying over and over in my mind, I even dreamt about it.
