Appreciation thread for the people of Minnesota [View all]

After ICE's SECOND MURDER of an INNOCENT American in the Minneapolis-St.Paul area, I just want to say how impressed I am by the people of Minnesota, including Governor Tim Walz and other state and local leaders at this horrible scary time.

My hat is off to all of the people who have been peacefully protesting, blowing whistles, and in particular, filming the atrocious behavior of ICE to create an accurate record of what's going on in the Twin Cities right now. As the secretary of DHS and all the other despicable criminals who staff the administration of the most evil, criminal, psychopathic president in our nation's history continue to make up and spread lies and slander the character of INNOCENT people who can't speak for themselves because they've been murdered in cold blood, these heroic videographers are creating the evidence that will ultimately set the historic record straight. They're out there right now, in below zero weather that would keep my elderly ass inside (almost) no matter what was going on, and I just want to say the following:

Minnesotans, you rock! I see you, I respect you, and I stand with you. You are fighting the good fight for all Americans, and we will all be forever in your debt. Stay strong, and keep on taking care of yourselves and each other as you have shown you're so very good at doing.
