Minnesota is under siege. This cannot stand (startribune.com)

General Strike. Shut down the economy until ICE is out. Put the Trump administration under economic siege. It is peaceful, and it will work.

I don't know what gets through to the average voter. Maybe Jesse Ventura: https://youtube.com/watch?v=udSUbBhA8I0

Very clearly, there's zero reason to do what Trump's ICE is doing, house-to-house searches, violating first amendment rights, not following laws, shooting bystanders. Minnesota is not what Trump depicts. The reason is probably because Tim Walz ran against Trump in 2024.

What's the desired end point here? Just to prove that nobody can run against Trump? Trump will use his personally loyal security force to make any opponent's city a smoking crater? What does that get Trump, or his successor Republican? Why would anyone in any state where Trump cuts off already allocated federal spending vote for him ever again, much less why would Minnesota?

It will stand. Walz, Frey, & Co. have zero intention of protecting their citizens from ICE predation. The local police sit on their hands.

But I'm sure this strongly worded editorial will get Trump to reconsider.

If you live in Minnesota, please consider helping me transform rural politics. I’m the chair of the Agrarian Party of Minnesota [1], and candidate for the 20B legislative seat. Please consider running for office and providing a new hope for republicanism. I also seek help moving our statutes to a version control system, among other technical tools.

Robby Roadsteamer (giraffe w/ g-string) was on Democracy Now! in two silent clips because ICE goons went across the street to arrest him specifically in retaliation. He was released within 5 minutes because of his army of lawyers waiting on the side and social media presence. Totally lawless 1a violations.
