This is so fucked up.
It gets worse, the father was following the law and legally going through the asylum process, starting at applying at a port of entry. Which means he was never an illegal to begin with. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/21/ice-arrests-five-year-old-boy-minnesota

ICE got their funding. No government shutdown.

He is useless but this thing was never not passing. He fucked up because the not whipping sent the wrong message as evidenced by your concern but its important to keep the fact this was not being stopped regardless in mind.
So, do not cross the picket line? Also, at this point the general strike tomorrow is a national movement
Oh, and a reminder: a strike does not mean you stay home. It means you go to a rally and don't make purchases. The strike itself is a job.
It certainly does make it more complicated. But, if there is any reasonable way to arrange to participate, then you should. Hell, perhaps the solution is to have an arranged time to stand outside and bang on pots and pans for a few minutes.
Or, visit the neighbors and have a conversation about all of it. Really the important part is that, whatever you do, you shouldn't do it alone. You should ideally do something together with other people, ideally people you wouldn't normally hang out with.
Schools and museums in Minnesota are closed tomorrow because of the extreme cold, not to protest ICE. You won't even be able to tell which business closed in protest, because if nobody is going to be out working and shopping, everything will be closed regardless.
An independent autopsy shows that the bullet that killed Renee Good entered her left temple and exited the right side of her head, almost as if it was fired as she drove past Jonathan Ross.
Her other wounds were not immediately life threatening.

That's not what the Star Tribune says.
This article confirms museums are closing, and that while not closing, some schools are offering remote learning instead of closing. Nowhere in this article is extreme cold mentioned as a reason for anything.
It might be true in places like Texas or North Carolina where they can't handle the cold, but if Minneapolis shut down every time it went below freezing they'd be closed from Christmas to Valentine's Day.
Based on the footage I've seen it's ICE who can't handle the ice, for the locals it's just another day ending in y.
My old school rather cleverly put up a notice on Facebook stating that it’s closing due to extreme cold, but also there will be no distance learning and no assignments will be expected to be completed. (Since the pandemic, when the school closes due to snow or cold, it always switches to distance learning.)
What's this 'strike' supposed to accomplish?
Piss off the governor enough to send in the Guard?
ICE/Federalis won't give a shit so what's the outcome? More impotent rage or are these strikers going to fight ICE in the streets? I'm sure they have enough guns.

The school district in my Twin Cities suburb is closed due to cold today. It’s currently -21, -28 with the windchill. It is not expected to be much warmer when the buses would do pickups. My kids would have a 1/4 mile walk to the bus stop and then have to wait for the bus, with no bus shelter. It is rare for a school to close because of temperature, but it does happen. As this is the first school closing of the year, they will not have distance learning. If it happens again, for temperature or snow, they would have distance learning. Each district has its own rules though.
They did not cancel school early yesterday due to cold and the temperature at the end of the school day was -9 or so. In general, they try hard not to cancel or do late starts or early dismissal due to weather.

Jesus Fucking Christ I've had it with you people.
There's nothing Americans can do short of violent uprising that'll be "enough" for anyone.
So a show of 'we're unhappy with this'?
That's fine but I still don't see what that will accomplish. Maybe I'm not thinking outside the box enough.
Fundamentally collective activity like strikes and marches demonstrates weight of numbers and organisational ability.
If a movement can get a million people demonsrating it can get a thousand fighting is the quiet part that (usually) doesn't need to be said out loud.

More showing that there are enough pissed off people willing to get out on the streets that if you don’t back down the level of resistance is going to continue to increase
No, demonstrating you have the will of the people should things escalate. More Gandhi and less Washington.
I guess I'm going to have to see proof this will work.
Time keeps marching so we'll see I spose.
Nothing came from the covid protests so not sure why this is different but hey; if folks have free time it's something to do.
And then it becomes a contest between "how much are the common people willing to suffer" and "how many common people are the fascists willing to kill to get their way?"
Huh? Like how long are common people willing to suffer because they’re on strike?
Seems to be working to me with how much they are crying about protestors

Does it.
Have they left?
Of course they're going to whine about stuff until they get the kill orders. Then the fun really begins.
Wow. I gotta say, making it hard and time consuming for ICE goons to take a dump is a fucking brilliant strategy. Even one goon ending up with a pantload has got to be enormously demoralizing.
