    Stand up against the ICE Nazis. Americans should peacefully protest against Trump and his Nazi followers.

  2. Good. Protect the protestors exercising their rights, Guardsmen. From both agitators, and the feds.

    (Many of whom are now sadly one and the same.)

    “According to Gov. Walz’s office, the National Guard will serve in a support role by focusing on protecting property, safeguarding critical infrastructure, and allowing local law enforcement to focus on community safety and investigative responsibilities.”

    Someone please let me know if I’m missing something, but this doesn’t sound helpful at all.

  4. Good move by the governor. This definitely needs to be done. He has to protect the people in his state.

    He ended his bid for reelection and is seemingly acting more boldly as a result, I don’t know what his analysts are telling him but these bold public moves are what people want more of from him. Once his polling numbers go back up I wonder if he will want to run again, I love this dude.

  6. I pray that Minnesota puts up a real fight, because if they don’t, we’re just going to have to repeat the same thing in another town.
    Fuck these Nazi fucks and fuck Trump supporters I’m so fucking tired of this

    A Dem actually doing something with the power they have, limited or not. More Need to follow, not just make social media posts.

  8. This is to keep any rioting from happening and not about arresting federal personnel.

    Why am I seeing people even suggesting this is the case?

  9. Imagine if a fake video about a fake daycare fraud scandal leads to Waltz being unrestrained (in a good way) and standing up for America.

    4d chess conservatives.

    Fucking nightmare.
    Minnesota National Guard facing a off against ICE.

    What exactly are the issues preventing Congress from reeling in Trump’s power ?

  11. This is the true state’s rights fight that the right has always claimed for themselves. A state governor defending his state’s sovereignty against the federal government? Federalism has never been more explicit.

    Is there any chance Canada will offer to take in Minnesota? And Cascadia? And New England?

  13. The language says it all. The guard has been activated to protect property and infrastructure. Notably absent from the statement is protecting PEOPLE.

    They should protest alongside the people.

    Who in their right mind wants state-sanctioned murder of US civilians to be an acceptable action? It’s not even partisan. It’s right vs wrong. I don’t want the federal government to be able to freely murder *any* of my fellow citizens, no matter what their ideology is, or who they voted for.

    He’s not directing them to remove or arrest ICE. He’s mobilizing them to protect infrasture presumably against riots and the like. 

  16. Sane Americans have a moral imperative to *protest* against this government alongside your states.

    Demand your state governments activate your own militaries. Exercise your 1st and 2nd amendments.

  17. I don’t like that I’m not seeing a direct reason beyond “Keeping the peace”.

    With how everything has been going, I would not be shocked if they were deployed to protect ICE from the protestors instead of the way it should be.

    Who is he going to protect? The citizens? Or will they allow ICE to continue doing the their stomping on the constitution? Walz should fight back with force and put an end to Millers nonsense right now.

    As much as I want this to be “National Guard vs ICE Thugs!” I GUARANTEE National Guard will be there just to stand around “maintaining order” and will ignore the unlawful, violent, and cruel acts of ICE.

  20. So, what happens when Walz deploys the National Guard… and then Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and tries to federalize the (stationed, active) national guard?

    Are they going to stay on the same page, or start following illegal orders?

  21. If this doesn’t feel like the little girl in the graffiti scene in v for vendetta I don’t know what does. I hope we don’t take the bait

  22. 21’-25 was a therapeutic respite from this god damn insanity.

    Sweet Christ.

    They killed a woman yesterday.

    Killed her.

    And MAGA is saying it’s justified

    It’s a fucking cult
