You can probably find 10,000 Somalians in MN doing this job, when they are not running a Learing center. It’ll only cost the government 100,000 per session. But hey, keep fighting to protect criminals. Dem support is what, maybe 20% -wonder why?

Absolutely. An insurrection is perfect. Or, just more Dems burning things.

I would rather perish in the fire, fighting for freedom, then freeze in fear only to be crushed under the boots of fascism

And you support promoting hate, fear and violence. All while saying how horrible Jan 6th was. OACs words are inciting violence far more than Trumps did. And yes, he was wrong. I suppose you’re also fine with being a major hypocrite. Keep fighting for criminals, some of whom committed acts against women and children. Awesome. Good on ya

I'm not a hypocrite. At least not in this instance. I never said a thing about J6 and honestly this is this first time I've mentioned it in a comment. I'm fighting for everyone's freedom. If ICE is allowed to continue to rampage across Minnesota it will not end there. They are currently going door to door detaining immigrants, even if they are legal, and citizens that they determined are opposed to the Trump agenda. Does that sound okay to you? ICE was marching outside the Whipple building today with a literal self-avowed NAZI today. Even seen patting him on the shoulder like a buddy as he spewed his vile hatred. Where do you thing is the end point for all this? I want everyone to be free. I want everyone to be able to thrive. I want justice for victims of crime, not retribution. I want a country based on the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I want that for you too. What do you want?

I love watching ASL interpretation of speeches like this, the interpreters add so much passion and rhythm to it.

From Britain: look up the Battle of Cable Street.
That's what we did in the 30s.
That's what you need to do now.

Ah yes it’s been 10 years now and MAGA morons still use this fake story. It’s hilarious that the party that claims everything is fake news spreads the most fake news.

Couldn't dems have made sure Trump 2.0 didn't happen again by not only prosecuting Trump when Biden was in office and treating 2024 like it the most important election in recent history?

Good for her...this is what real representation looks like, especially in the face of blatant tyranny.

Curious if she’ll be charged for inciting violence? I believe she should be. Seems hypocritical to judge Trump when her words are leading to such damage. Fraud has been identified and the very people being accused …don’t like it? Shocking.

You guys are literally throwing yourselves in the way of danger instead of staying out of the way and protesting peacefully, you can stand for what you believe in you can vote however you wish without seeking confrontation with the legal operations. If you believe they are illegal and take evidence press charges talk to your congressman senators and representatives in order to provide them evidence to win a case.
