Something I do not think the fashy Trump-licking crowd understands is how •deeply• we here in Minneapolis and environs felt everything that’s happened.
The ICE invasion might have been a lot of things for the folks behind it: a strategic offensive, a gambit, a bender, a job, a joy ride. But I suspect that across all those cases, it was something they feel like they can walk away from whenever they decide to be done with it.
Not so for us neighbors. They have no idea how angry we are. They have no idea how long we’re going to stay angry. If you were a part of the ICE invasion, be warned: people will be out hunting for your head as long as you walk free on this earth.
It would be great if the Iranian people
had freedom and democracy next, but based on what we saw in Venezuela. Trump will probably make a deal with another regime dictator in mind who will let him sell the Iranian oil, and put the money in a private bank account in Qatar.
I doubt the dreams and aspirantions of the Iranian people are on his mind.
By the way, here is a reminder of the coup that we supported in Iran in 1956.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
- Eisenhower
I saw an older man fall on a busy road today. I did a u-turn to help him and 3 other people joined. Two of us helped get him back on his feet while another took down his information. He was shaking from the impact and a bit scraped and bloody. He asked for help to the bus stop, instead he was given a ride home. Strangers all of us, who knew to take care a fellow human.
We may be ruled by monsters but there are still decent people out there.
