Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

So it turns out that the most effective leftists in Minnesota are the people who organize church potlucks.

I'm kinda surprised but I probably shouldn't be.

This. Honestly I think the economic impact of ICE on Minnesota is just ramping up, and for people living in fear nothing has changed.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

After being in education for decades and seeing patriarchy (just leave it there), I'm not shocked by the JE stuffs but remind anyone who is, this isn't new. Conversely - if you want a type of education that's alternative and inclusive, see Bad Bunny's halftime show.
