Minnesota N-ICE

Details

It's a truly bizarre timeline we are living in, although it's hardly showing us situations that have never happened before. Empires fall, alliances shatter, fearful people propagate violence, even on their own group. While many crimes are quietly being committed in many US cities, they are happening loudly in the Twin Cities, and those crimes are being loudly protested. It might seem like an aberration that federal enforcement officers are shooting citizens of the majority group to death, but let us not allow Kent State to go the way of the Maine. Although the protests concern ICE, we might note that the killers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti were members of CBP. Perhaps a difference without a distinction. All those acting in the service of the federal government at this time should be looked upon with suspicion and dealt with warily. As mentioned in comments to several posts and articles, these agents of the "law" do not need more training; they are already doing exactly as trained. Can the fire of outrage be sustained until the coming midterms? Will there be bullets fired against the aggresors? Is that exactly what the administration is hoping for, the excuse to remove all trappings of freedom and democracy? Will other cities take note, or will Minneapolis stand alone (with its twin)? https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2026/01/24/murdered-man-identified/ https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/01/minnesota-community-fight-against-ice.html https://san.com/cc/will-minnesotas-union-led-economic-blackout-break-ice-or-harm-local-business/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/minneapolis-federal-agents-shooting-reactions-video/ https://onlys.ky/american-autocracy/ https://skepchick.org/2026/01/the-fascists-are-lying-about-ice-murdering-an-innocent-woman/
