The former hedge fund titan is waging one of the most expensive gubernatorial campaigns in US history — on a platform the business community hates.

Oh please… if the USA showed the world anything during this past 16 months is that you will not take arms, or even raise your collective heads, against fascism.
Luigi was a wonderful outlier… probably because he is second generation immigrant
So Minneapolis didn’t show out in force to resist the invasion of ICE?
After 2 locals were murdered in the streets in plain daylight… yes, a bit… then back to sleep while the Fascist gov that send them ICE is still up and running, ICE still up and running, literally nothing has changed except Minneapolis can now say the most American thing “fuck you, got mine”
They are not showing up to fight billionaires. Happy to be proven wrong though
Your ignorance is showing.
See, I live in Minneapolis. I was a rapid responder. I attended Renee’s vigil. I’m a member of multiple groups and participated in the direct democracy which planned the Jan 23rd and May 1st strikes. I’m one of the anarchist “terrorists” Trump wants to crack down on.
Rapid response groups were forming in November as ICE presence was ramping up pre Metro Surge. By the time I was a rapid responder, my hyperlocal neighborhood chat had over 3000 people in it, and that was weeks before Renee’s murder. Renee was a rapid responder, murdered in cold blood for resisting fascists. Alex was an average citizen, simply trying to help a neighbor and deescalate the situation. We prevented abductions. We scared the pants off of the Trump administration, which is why they drew down. We’re still resisting to this day until ICE is abolished. During the crisis, people travelled to Minneapolis to learn how we were resisting. Now that we’re no longer in crisis mode, people are traveling to every major city in the country to teach people how we did it.
Edit: as for fighting billionaires, our movement officially adopted the slogan “No ICE, No War, No Billionaires”. Our general strike in January was so effective that basically every major corporation in Minnesota signed a letter to the president to draw down.
I am desperately wanting to believe you … but how can I address my “ignorance” when there is no evidence of anything you are saying?
I get that mainstream media is ignoring this type of movement but there has to be a bit more than “trust me bro”
Most of this stuff is not getting the attention of mainstream news. The only reason I know about a lot of this stuff is because I saw it myself. Here’s a couple links anyway:
Thanks for the links
They were showing up in large numbers before people were murdered for it. The murders just got your attention.
Ok, are they out there now?
Yes, but ICE changed tactics so it’s all less visible.
Same thing locally where I am. Signal chats are active, but we mostly respond to local cops doing something dumb and being mistaken for ICE
Several places have very active protests in support of the concentration camp hunger strikes too
Pot, meet kettle.
