"[Today] people across Minnesota will stay home from work, school, and shopping areas in an 'ICE Out Day' to protest the federal agents in the state.

"I am utterly exhausted by national media coverage that frames what is happening in America as some kind of political horse race, with two equal and equivalent partisan teams. As a former sportswriter, I am begging my journalism colleagues to do better than framing these stories as though you’ve covering a football game. Talk to people on the ground. pen your heart to see what is right in front of you."

/18"ICE agents threw tear gas at a van carrying six children, and three of them went to the hospital, including an infant who had stopped breathing. ICE agents are pulling over public school transport vehicles full of students. ICE agents are pushing minors and high school students into streets full of incoming traffic; they’re launching tear gas and rubber bullets at senior citizens. They are terrorizing our city."

/20"We all saw the video. ICE Agent Jonathan Ross shot at Renee Good from the left side of her vehicle, after Ross was no longer in any (alleged) danger of being run over. A private autopsy confirmed that Renee was shot in the left side of the head—a wound that confirms what we all saw on the video."

@wdlindsy it takes balls to do this.
The only general strike in the wake of Germany's Nazi regime happened 1933 in the small south-western town of #Mössingen with severe consequences for many of the participants:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6ssinger_Generalstreik (German)@eliasp Thank you for telling me about this. It's history I had not known. I've been to that part of Germany. My spouse has roots in Bubsheim, some 50km south of Mössingen, and we've been to Bubsheim so he could do family history research.

Robert Reich thinks that today's strike in Minnesota "could be a model for what the nation as a whole does in coming months, to repudiate the Trump dictatorship."
He quotes Ana Marie Cox who writes about how Minnesota is a natural leader in modeling solidarity:
“It is impossible to get through a Minnesota winter without help, and only sometimes does that assistance come from your neighbors."

Reich says,
"The decency of Minnesotans is mirrored in a dozen other Minnesota mutual-aid traditions: Lutheran churches seeded what has become the largest refugee population per capita in the United States. Minnesota has had a labor organizing movement since before it became a state. Minnesota created the first high-risk pool in the country to insure 'the uninsurable' in 1976."

"I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life."
