Federal immigration agents tackled and arrested a Somali American man in Minneapolis on Tuesday and detained him for about two hours for no apparent reason other than his ethnicity.
Mubashir, who moved to the United States as a small boy and became a naturalized American citizen, said that he stepped onto a sidewalk near 4th Street and Cedar Avenue during his lunch break when two masked men approached him. The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood is the heart of the city’s Somali American community.
My favorite part of all this is that nothing is being done about it beyond bitching online. The American people are as ineffective as the Democrats we love to make fun of. 2A folks where you at?
In France if tuition is raised 2% or retirement age raised by 2 years, the entire country empties into the streets and life comes to a halt.
Here, just bitch online until distracted by the next episode of It.
Did the retirement age increase by two years in France after the protests?
Do people lose any semblance of a safety net if they lose their job in France? No? They won’t die of uncontrolled medical problems or see their child starve because they decided to stand up and make a point?
Not exactly comparable, then, is it?
How do you think they got to that point.
And reaching that point means they don’t lose their jobs over protesting.
The strategy right now is peaceful nonviolence. It doesn’t make for exciting headlines, but it’s really the only viable strategy.

The fascist’s next move in the playbook is to gain more power by declaring martial law. Each dead ICE agent gives them fuel to make it happen.
The only thing Trump wants more than for people to start resisting is for people to not start resisting
“We can’t resist them. Resisting would give them an excuse to do the thing they are already going to do.”
Good luck with that.
