"[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.

"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."

"A general strike that began in Minnesota is now spreading to other parts of the country, with workers, nurses, and pro-democracy activists coordinating actions that we have not seen at this scale in roughly seventy years. The goal, shared openly by organizers, is to make this the largest general strike in modern U.S. history."

"In Minnesota, the epicenter of the strike, people are taking extraordinary risks. In Minneapolis and Saint Paul, where temperatures have dropped to as low as minus sixteen degrees Fahrenheit, workers are calling in sick, walking off jobs, and gathering in the streets to protest the Trump regime’s ICE and Border Patrol operations."

"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."
