Had a chat with some of the most non political Minnesotans I know this morning.
"It's scary." "These guys are lawless thugs." "We want them gone." Even the conservative dude had the take of, "So we all know that we need immigration enforcement on some level, but not like this. This is terrorism."
Ya know, I'm just wondering (like Fucker Carlson "just wonders") if there would be any legal liability for MN protesters who brought lots of water balloons to the protest (NO -- DON'T throw them AT the officers -- that would be assault!! BAD!!) on a freezing cold day, then just kind of, you know, idly toss them into the street ... all over the street ... hundreds, maybe thousands of water balloons, bursting on a frozen street ... all around the ICE cars that don't have chains on, because the streets were plowed ...
Also, what if the crowds used the accumulated snow to build up berms, maybe 3' high, between the sidewalk and the street (leaving gaps at the corners)? It would be very hard for anyone who was in the street to suddenly rush at someone who was filming them, push them down and kidnap them, if there was a 3' berm between them. Just saying ... these clowns they imported from the Gulf states have no idea how to work in this environment.
And also too, what if they copied that one tactic that was very successfully used in Portland during the BLM Summer -- namely, the Wall of Leaf-Blowers, in which a phalanx of people "armed" with (ideally, electric) leaf-blowers are deployed to send tear-gas back where it came from. There is no law against using your leaf-blower in public (if it's a quiet one), and it would be hard for anyone to claim they were "assaulted" this way, esp. if they've already been told by a judge not to use tear-gas anymore in this town -- as they were in Chicago. I would imagine that such people should be careful to wear helmets and goggles, to protect against pepper-balls and rubber bullets ... and stand safely behind the berm ... perhaps with a small supply of water-balloons ...
Well, one could speculate endlessly. I'm interested in people's thoughts about these hypothetical situations, and their own imagined ones as well, but be careful to avoid crossing the line into actual advocacy!! That would be Bad.
I know this might seem unnecessarily nitpicky, but since a lot of news stories about Renee Good are downplaying or omitting Becca Good entirely, I would like to ask that the word “partner” be changed to “wife.” It’s true they were partners, but I feel it’s important to underscore that they were legally married.
Anyone know how to cure a dog from being afraid of riding in a car?
My first dog could hardly wait to jump in, but Molly spends most rides huddled in the front passenger seat, her face turned towards me. No amount of talking or stroking can sooth her.
LOL, we're not talking about horse and buggy times here, these were nylon straps just like in today's cars. Butch was just an "enthusiastic chewer" and part Malamute so he had a bite.
Butch loved going in the car but especially at first couldn't stand being left alone in the car. We ended up just putting the kennel in the car and he was fine after that. This was Seattle, BTW, and the inside of the car seldom got hot. If there was any chance of that we'd make different arrangements.
Afraid I don't have any ideas about car fear in dogs. Maybe have a chat with your vet?
Actually two thugs had at least 6 inch knives pulled in plain view. Another thing...what gives them the right to break car windows and drag people out of their cars without - dare I say it - due process. It looks to me (as shared by on a man on TV last night) they pull you over if you're the wrong color and don't even ask see a driver's license or any other document. I know, I'm dreaming.
Mayor just announced the bastards are coming here to Portland (OR) in a couple of weeks ...

ICE thugs are the embodiment of MAGA's genetic makeup.
They combine the bravery of an Uvalde cop with the intellectual capacity of a Nebraska farmer.

Ta, Marcie. I have yet to witness ICE goons firsthand in NYC, but I've read accounts and seen video.
Aquila Elementary in St. Louis Park harrassed by ICE at end of school day: https://sahanjournal.com/education/saint-louis-park-aquila-elementary-ice-presence/
Elementary school. It's 12F damn degrees and ICE is picking on children.

They seem very intent on "taking care of women", whether women want it or not.
Like everything else with the white supremacist nonsense of the turd reich, as bad as I think it is? It is always much, much worse.
“…her partner sassed an agent.”

In the vid of the U.S. citizen woman being pulled from her car, she's hanging on to her seat beat and and an ICE THUG PULLS OUT A KNIFE AND CUTS IT.
Yeah. That right there is about $300 of damage, or it was some 15 years ago when our dog chewed through a couple of seatbelts in a moment of panic.
Poor pup, bet seatbelts were less sturdy then.

Thanks, will do she has a physical top of Feb.

The operating principle of this entire maladministration: "Who's gonna stop us?"
I guarantee Putin is directing Trump to attack Greenland because he wants to end NATO.
There is NO reason for Trump to want to attack Greenland other than its what’s Putin wants.
It wouldn't end NATO. It would only end the US in NATO.
I'm starting to have doubts that this is a new "Golden Age".
Like the showers.
It's piss, not liquid gold.
Jaysum crimony...I have a sore throat from snarling and screaming at various news reports airing today.
What really frustrates me is knowing that it's only going to get worse. Dammit.
Gang what did we learn yesterday?
We learned that flipping the bird to someone isn't very effective when one's middle finger is the size of a tiny insignificant mushroom!
A bunch of workers should have raised their arms to him so he'd 'heil, Hitler' back at them. A great shot for the evening news.
"Computer, enhance!"
Hey, it's not working.
It always works in the movies!
