So yeah, the Mexican places should close.

Some right wingers showed up in Minneapolis, and were run off. I like the use of water balloons.

Hard to keep up with the solidifying fascism in Minnesota.
Minneapolis labor unions call for general strike on 1/23 - fucking finally. It's only one day but I can't believe it's taken this long to organize a strike of any duration at all.
Walz mobilizes MN National Guard to support local law enforcement - Again, it's about time. Looks like they won't be going toe to toe with ICE yet though.
Minnesota is also about to be treated to ten continuous days of 20 Fahrenheits or less, though, so maybe that will finally slow ICE down a bit.

That mistake is inevitable since incorporation of enemies is a social suicide pact and their supporters would retain Constitutional rights.
After Trump the GOP there will be plenty of demagogues eager to follow his proven example. US elections are a popularity contest between entertainers. The public aren't competent to run the nation so they ceded that to their political football teams long ago.

Everything in the entire state should close until ICE is gone. General strike.
Any ICE agent in Minneapolis needs to relieve themselves? Point in the direction of ICE-friendly South Dakota and ask them how good they are at holding it.

Footage of ICE swooping in to recover their agent/provocateur who apparently slipped on the ice while embedded with the protesters:

It's kind of hilarious that these ICE goons are outing themselves when they can't handle walking on ice.

Yeah, when right-wingers accuse others of false flag operations? That's them confessing that they do it.
The closures are a feature, not a bug. Miller and Trump want to hurt Minnesota, in addition to any immigrants and Hispanic/Latinos living there.
It's good to see, but not surprised it wasn't fast. There's probably a lot of Trump voters among their membership.
It was cold enough yesterday that those water balloons should not be considered silly in any way, in case that's of question for anyone. Walking around at 0 F and then getting doused with water is dangerous. Sure, they're in a city and it's not like it's hard to get help and warm and they'll suddenly be stricken with frost bite. But to someone planning on spending a chunk of time outside that can be a real problem.
Ive seen fliers for this and even mentions of it in this thread I thought going back a few days for sure. I knew about this before the hate rally.
So you are saying more water balloons right?
I also heard many of them weren't water but who knows.
I'm seeing more reports about the events of yesterday. Apparently Jake Lang was at one point trapped in the recess around a building's window for some time by protestors. He says he was stabbed at one point. Reddit commentators, for all the validity that can be attributed there, have said that there were counter protestors (I.e. not on his side) that were actually protecting him as they were against him, but also against the violence. Picture of him afterwards show him bloodied.

I can not muster a single shit to give and feel that is a good thing that he was massively embarrassingly outnumbered for the anti movement against his ilk.
1,500 active duty Army paratroopers have been put on alert for a potential deployment to Minnesota, according to two defense officials. The soldiers are from the 11th Airborne Division, based at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska
I wonder if the Minnesota National Guard vs. the 11th Airborne Division from Alaska would constitute civil war or not.

Pre-training for deployment to Greenland.
For quite a while now, there are many places in America where you are at highly increased physical risk if you decide you want to loudly and aggressively proclaim your racism. There are very good reasons for that, too. In general, being an irate and unhinged asshole can have potentially devastating consequences. Who fucking knew?
Emboldened by the fascist regime, Lang likely expected law enforcement to completely protect him. That's what happens when you tell the dregs of society they are untouchable. I'd be quite surprised if Lang had the nerve to try something like this 15 years ago. He expects strength in numbers, which is why it's important he gets outnumbered.
No, he expected the first thing. He doesn’t think he has numbers. He thinks he has state violence and personal immunity on his side. Which, technically speaking, he literally does as a practical matter.
This is important because it’s the only way, unless one is willing to go Full Canadian, that his expectations have a chance to be undermined.
This guy? [some Stop the Steal bullshit snipped]

Yeah, he's a real peach. Too bad he didn't get frozen. Gosh I'm so surprised he's not out there peacefully protesting LEO tyranny and defending those who want to petition their government without getting assaulted or shot!
It's almost like he has another agenda, and state use of violence is okay when it's against groups he hates...

Edit to add, this guy doesn't really seem all that into civil rights for certain people:

I think you may be reading me too literally. I don't necessarily exclude the State from "numbers" so I find this nitpick unproductive. I'd even argue the State severely weights the "numbers" against you which only reinforces the need for more numbers on the civilian side.
If you want to directly clash with any government-sanctioned force (even if it's just Lang and a few of his pathetic stragglers), numbers matter a lot. It's much easier to quell a few people. As you said have yourself elsewhere, one of the features of these fascists is their willingness to play the "infinite escalation game." More numbers make escalation a tad more hairy, or in Lang's case this time, completely impractical.
? One of the three orders given was to protect legal protest rights iirc.
Speaking of opsec........ Apparently this week, the FBI left some of their vehicles unattended in Minneapolis and they were broken into. Stolen items included guns, badges, and the wallet of the agent who had been driving the SUVs. Along with a bunch of documents.
So what did the FBI do?
Raid the wrong apartment.

Every business in
They are enemies of the people.
Who leaves their wallet in their car?
I guess if you're running in tight spandex gear and don't have pockets.... please tell me this is how they were doing their jobs.
Documents that show agents are rewarded with (I assume) challenge coins for every person they detain.
I would put Dawn in the water. Those ICE agents need to clean up their act.
A Democratic hoax. The worst kind. If ribeye steaks cost more than $4.99/lb at your grocery store, you know they're in the conspiracy.
<me raises hand>
I park at night in an attached garage, and virtually never remove my wallet from the car.
Heck, almost the only time I might need it is if pulled over by police (most purchases are made with a phone).
