Hey Minneapolis - please please please don't fall into the trap.

[yellow dahlia]

This is a set up. "They" are trying to orchestrate enough unrest to (pretend to) justify the Insurrection Act. But you know that.

It is clear that the abuse and violence that has been part of the rampage of ICE and federal agents is intended to get a reaction. But you know that. Keep it peaceful.

Please, please, please don't let yourselves be used to paint a false narrative.

On RWmedia they are painting a false narrative. They are describing the scenario in MN inaccurately. But you know that.

They are accusing the MN leaders of perpetrating an Insurrection against the government.

"They" (the evil authoritarians) have a goal. Please don't let them manipulate you to be a part of their end goal.

They have an evil master plan. Make sure their plan doesn't work.

We need to get to impeachment, before "they" can pull the Insurrection Act maneuver.

In solidarity!

1. So how much torture and abuse

Are they supposed to take?

[yellow dahlia]

2. I understand the sentiment. But this is deliberate abuse - it is clear.

There needs to be other avenues toward "winning" the day, other than falling into the trap.

If the Insurrection Act is deployed, the torture won't stop. The abuse will be worse.

I don't know all the strategic moves right now.

I have seen Timothy Snyder share some words of wisdom. Maybe I can find some guidance from him, or others.

Right now the gestapo is not winning, as long as the world can see what they are doing. There will be consequences.

Like I said - we need to get to impeachment.

And people need to get the RepubliCONS in Congress to do their job. I'm not sure how...but we need to keep the pressure on them.

3. I can tell you want the best

For the people, I just don’t see impeachment happening. I sure hope it could happen though!

[yellow dahlia]

9. I hope there are a few more Repugs who say enough is enough.

Some of them are finding their red line.

We are in untenable times. I never knew I could be so angry.

[travelingthrulife]

14. No. they have been blackmailed by Trump and they fear him more than they care about our country.

[regnaD kciN]

11. I see no chance of impeachment...

For one thing, you don’t just need “a few Republicans” to flip, you need almost half of the Republicans in the Senate. And, trust me…none of them gives a damn what happens to people in blue cities in blue states.

[regnaD kciN]

10. While I agree 100% with your advice...

…I am pessimistic about being able to pull it off. We’ve been resisting peacefully for over a year, and all it results in is the regime turning up the pressure even more. IMO, they’re just going to keep amping it up until they get the reaction they want…or pretend they did (as in the claim that what’s happening in Minneapolis is already sufficient for the Insurrection Act). However much restraint we show, I fear it’s only a matter of time.

16. There are ways

to confront ICE that the nation would recognize do not justify the response the administration wants to inflict upon the city.

[Coldwater]

4. Fighting ICE with ICE

Extreme right wing MAGA influencer Nick Sortor is pissed

[Coldwater]

6. In an unrelated matter

the expected high temperature in Minneapolis on Monday is -2 below zero, perfect weather conditions for Ice skating

[Ocelot II]

7. Perfect weather conditions for the Saturday demonstration by a group of neo-Nazi assholes

who will be coming here from places where it doesn't get nearly that cold. The shrinkage will be epic.

[ShazzieB]

12. Oh yes.

People who live in warmer climates usually don't know how to dress for that kind of weather. And if they do, they won't have the needed items (long underwear, etc.) In their wardrobes. They definitely won't be up for it!

[H2O Man]

17. Years ago,

one of my nieces from southern CA stopped here on her way to attend Syracuse U. I asked her if she was prepared for a Syracuse winter? She said yes, she had brought a sweater with her. She was in for a shock.

[travelingthrulife]

15. Good.

27. Slip sliding away

Slip sliding away
Slip sliding away
You know the colder the refrigeration
The more you’re slip sliding away

(with apologies to Paul Simon)

5. We learned from the George Floyd unrest.

There have been peaceful demonstrations of various sizes all over the twin cities and suburbs every day, and the organizers and participants have been emphasizing the need to remain calm. The ICE goons at the HQ try to provoke confrontation, and what happened last night isn't clear but nobody believes DHS' version. Thousands of people have participated in protests without incident, and the mood is determined and defiant but controlled. There's always the possibility that some hothead could get out of control, but so far that sort of thing seems to be getting shut down. This is much different from what happened after the George Floyd murder.

[yellow dahlia]

8. I think the citizens of Minnesota have been doing a great job of keeping it peaceful.

And it isn't easy with the assault they/you are under.

During the George Floyd protests, there were infiltrators who created destruction, such as the burning of the police station....as you know.

It is clear from the rhetoric that the evil regime wants to instigate a scenario where they can implement the Insurrection Act. They have a mission. They will false flag it, or whatever it takes.

My heart breaks all day long for what the community is going through. I want the community to get through this without something worse.

My heart is with all of you.

[Figarosmom]

13. DHS will send in people

To start fires and throw bricks through windows. And trump is exaggerating how bad it is every chance he gets. So it won't matter what the protesters do. This is all preplanned trump will do what he what's and it looks like no one is going to stop him.

If he attacks Greenland we are done. Inflation will soar, shelves will be empty and we will be just like Russia and North Korea.

[MichMan]

28. The peaceful protesters need to swarm them and turn them over to MPD for arrest and prosecution

[progree]

18. In another thread, we are being warned not to show up at all. I will NOT be taking that advice

because I will NOT be manipulated by those on social media who are trying to suppress turnout.

[JI7]

19. There needs to be cameras everywhere.

[SunImp]

21. Asmongold is a dirty scumbag

Even his dead rat that he used as an alarm clock was more hygenic then his dank ass

[KS Toronado]

24. Sounds just like FQX news, all Democrats are bad.

[TexasTowelie]

25. No need to listen to the messenger.

Asmongold has appeared on this site before and each time he is recognized as a right-wing scumbag.

Enjoy your pizza.
