people in minnesota are fired up against ICE, and we have no appetite for an untrustworthy and unprincipled politician like angie craig who voted for the laken riley act and a resolution in support of ICE last year, and who is thanked by republican tom emmer for that

The bland managerial class of centrist liberalism will cut teacher salaries to buy the bullets they'll use to blow your brains out over your dashboard and then have the audacity to go on the news and frown over how awful it is someone else pulled the trigger.
its clear to me that the goal here is to keep escalating until something gives and people push back. and then use that as a means to implement martial law and engage in mass repression. Minnesota is a testing ground.
