Thank you for this article it needs to be said. The horror of it all. I had tears for the protesters. My heart swelled with gratitude at their courage. I’m also feeling rage. A rage that I’ve never felt before in my peaceful life. I can’t believe this is happening to our country without any accountability. We are definitely in a war. A war with our own impostor president. We are thrown back in time to an era that Trump idolizes. A dictatorship that people will fear and obey a military that will bend at every command. This is not to be so this is not our America. We are humans not hate machines.

RISE UP AMERICA.

Let’s take out this corrupt and evil regime and stand as one together and protect our nation. Whatever it takes .

This goes much deeper than the cretinous wastrel. This is a billionaire war on its serfs. Reagan began this master class of wealth disparity, with Milton Friedman trickle down economics. Trump’s merely a useful idiot! I’ve lived in St. Paul and this state for most of my life and know resistance is the answer to illegal police states, crooked politicians and a born into the Genovese crime family’s, advance to a transnational criminal syndicate masquerading as our republic! Excellent piece!!

And sadly there appears to be a great deal of pain & practice before us. But persisting is how we win. Thank you 🫰🏼

Leaf blowers. People need to show up at these with leaf blowers to blow the tear gas, pepper spray, mace etc right back at the fuckers.

I am a child of WWII. I couldn't have imagined that I would see Gestapo in the USA, but if it walks and quacks like a duck, I suggest we call it what it is.

Make sure your leaf blowers are powered up with an extra battery packed - blow the chemicals back enough they have to pull off their stupid cowardly masks!!

I wonder about the parents of the ICE agents, about their teachers, sisters, brothers. . .were the ICE agents' entire families sadists? Who raised these people?

Bravo to all the courageous folks who went up against ICE to protect their friends/neighbors/complete strangers. #HOLDFAST

When was the last time your federal government, executive branch or otherwise, commented on - bothered to show any awareness of - this fascist thuggery? Has anyone in your federal government condemned it? How about the federal opposition, the Democratic party?

Where was Gov. We all during this disgusting show of ICE force? Not even a comment? I’m waiting.

Perhaps it is time for the resistance to gear up. Helmets, plastic masks that cover the entire face, Kevlar vests and shinguards, but no guns, just protection. If you think ICE is scared now, wait until they see hundreds of protesters, dressed like they are.

I know the timber of these people in Minnesota. They never suffer fools gladly.

This is humanity, doing what they also do silently, everyday, year after year. They show up! And I am very sure their kind of strength and sense of fairness lies deep within millions of other Americans!
