    The cops in Minnesota are outnumbered by ICE — if they’re not actually Nazis.

    He is not ina great position here. Its going to be bottom-up, not top-down

      Weird how that’s literally the only direction the people at the top ever ask for. And they, at the top, just stay there and don’t seek to help or support those bottom up tactics.

      And even though there are more out Nazis than cops, even just gumming up the works by pulling over a van full of them because they’re breaking the law is actually doing something useful. Tying up Nazis on the street and in court by pretending the law still exists is more than this learned helplessness by the most powerful people on our side. They don’t even need to look for them, just post a guy outside the federal building running plates that leave. Even if they just end up ignoring the citation, the propaganda value of police telling ICE they’re not above the law would be extremely valuable. But instead they throw up their hands and try to tell the people there’s nothing they can do. Every. Single. Time.
