2nd July 1863. Battle of Gettysburg. For perhaps the only time in the entire war the Confederates seem to be winning. Dan Sickles, commander III Corps, is ordered hold on Cemetery Ridge. For reasons unknown he advances. Broken, his men begin to flee. This is the moment on which the war depends /1

I have been saying it for days now. This will not end if we don't actually fight back. All I keep hearing is "this is what they want" and to that I say we should give it to them then. Force them to be their worst. Otherwise they will see us not fighting as an invitation to do more.

Too many keep saying they want us to fight to use it as an excuse. The truth is that they don't want us to fight back because backing down means they've won. Fighting back means they are losing. They will do worse either way. At least fighting back gives us a better chance at winning it all.

I am not condoning violence as the solution. I am saying that we need to force their hand to go all in. Only then will the rest of country realize he's serious and turn on him. We become stronger when they get worse. Sacrifices will have to be made. Blood will be spilled. We have no choice anymore.

I think LOTS of us are waitin' and *hoping* that weather reports for the weekend/next week are accurate-with those -10°F to -20°F temps come true!😉😂🤣 'Cuz the ICE Queen's Cosplay Army are *not* kitted-out for that type of weather. It's got the potential for another Napoleon/ Nazi March on Russia!😈

History is def being made right now. Most notably, the non-violent, good trouble resistance & real-time documentation thereof, which has already laid plain the blatant lies, bad faith & corruption of the exec branch, who by their own actions have proven themselves to be the villains of this story.

Read an article the other day which said MN is number 1 state in the country for raising children. What is happening in MN is outrageous. Folks love living there. Not surprised by this push back by a resident. Stand in solidarity!

I mean honestly, when it comes down to it all of us are going to die one day. There is no avoiding that. If the choice is between covering in fear forever (and leaving your children to cower in fear forever) or dying to make them safe then any decent person knows what they have to do.

It’s a fantastic city with beautiful parks, lakes, food, and people. This response is exactly who Minneapoliseans are and always have been.

You better. Those battered deep fried walleye nibbles/ butter chunks/ kimchi balls/ oreos aren't going to eat themselves!

I live in a suburb of MPLS/St. Paul. Come during the summer. Great things to do, places to visit. Great restaurants. And of course a great state fair. Don’t miss it, don’t even be late. We protect who we love and what we love. Trump doesn’t love anything but himself and ICE just likes to act tough.
