"Minnesota’s unions, progressive faith leaders and community activists are calling a general strike on Friday, encouraging Minnesotans to stay home from work, school and refrain from shopping — suspensions of normal orders of business to protest the presence of federal immigration agents in Minnesota."
~ Michelle Griffith
"Friday is 'ICE Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth & Freedom' — a statewide pause of daily activity to 'stand together against the actions of the federal government against the state of Minnesota,' according to the website.
Demonstrators will march and rally in downtown Minneapolis Friday starting at 2 p.m."

"Citing the killing of Renee Good by federal agent Jonathan Ross, the 'ICE Out' day organizers say the general strike is intended to be a day of nonviolent reflection.
'It is time to suspend the normal order of business to demand immediate cessation of ICE actions in MN, accountability for federal agents who have caused loss of life and abuse to Minnesota residents and call for Congress to immediately intervene,' the website states."

"It’s a good Friday to miss work.
Today, we will see the closest thing to a general strike in the United States since 1946. Much of Minnesota will simply say, 'Hell, no,' to the lawless, vicious, and absurdly unnecessary assault on their neighbors by the Trump regime's Department of Homeland Security."

"The Trump regime picked this spot to make its case for breaking Blue America because, in many ways, it represents the best of this country. And rather than be content to be the human sacrifices the regime desired, the people united to take care of each other as much as possible. So look north, not just at who we see in the streets, but who gets that this is our only way forward."

But ICE raids are driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants quite courageously. Now Miller is trying to disrupt that alliance with state violence."

"We use words like 'police state.' Then we see it happen. To watch is not the same as to experience it, of course. Of being afraid to leave your house. Or having a classmate, co-worker, or family member disappear. But the images make it more real. It removes any illusion that it could not happen here. It is happening here. We see it happening here, if we are willing to look."

Lets step back: the primary purpose of this occupation is the selective use of government power to establish federal dominance over blue states or cities that President Trump dislikes."

"While the most visible sign of the administration’s war on Minnesota is ICE’s brutal and deadly occupation, it’s not the only way President Trump is attacking the state.
As punishment for the crimes of having a diverse population, not voting for him in three elections straight, and having Tim Walz as governor," (continued in /15)
