Huge turnout against #ICE and #DHS, #protest/ #generalStrike in #Minneapolis #Minnesota yesterday
International observers and even some domestic observers:
You may ask why Americans aren't doing more
And I agree
But much is being done that you don't see because a lot going on is purposefully deemphasized in the #USA #newsmedia
Btw, this was in -10 F (-20 C) weather

@benroyce it's not "anti-ice," it's "Fuck ice." Stop using their vocabulary.

@macacator @benroyce
If Fuck ICE isn't anti-ICE, what is? -

Ok I edited it but I didn't say "fuck" because of my delicate shy nature đ

@benroyce Did they get an official head count?

Some video from yesterday
I don't know how many people. I've seen 50k, 100k, 150k chatted about on social media
Of course the media is only saying "thousands"
Again this is -10 F/ -20 C

City of about 1/2 million people. Many, many people were doing defensive work around the city and could not attend the crowd. I could believe (and be impressed with) tens of thousands.

@benroyce Danish media did the exact same when somewhere between 50-100K protesters gathered last year in Copenhagen, in support of the people of Gaza - "thousands".
You get the feeling they at least tried "several" on for size, before realizing it might give the game away a little to hard...

@benroyce @DebErupts It's difficult with large demos, because organisers will tend to optimistically inflate numbers, while the hostile media will always go with the most conservative figure - or even revert to simply "thousands", which gives little sense of true scale without actually lying!
Based on all the footage I've seen so far, I'm gonna stick my neck out and say 50 - 60,000 at this one event. But that's to say nothing of all the other resistance efforts that happened in the twin cities.

Also do not discount the hyper logical activity that goes completely under the radar.
Brenna Perez has been pointing this out in her own channel. Sheâs an amazing commenter. She was doing on the on the ground observation and reporting of the hyper local efforts arising from chains of community trust. Terrified immigrants are only trusting people they know, but community members are definitely coming forward to help their neighbors

@Ben Royce đşđŚ đ¸đŠ I am not using Fox or sthg, yet could you elaborate a bit on which large media are currently reporting rather well, let's say outside a democracy now or msnow kind of scope?
All the best from Berlin, you people be strong! -

@EricLawton "emigrants" is also a good term.

@DavidBHimself That is not my point đ¤Śââď¸
What Iâm saying⌠who am I to impose my political preferences as a citizen of country A to people in country B that I donât live with and donât know their current needsâ˝
Letâs say⌠the hypothetical where I live, we decide to that mastering multiple languages (A and B) is a requirement to get your secondary education diploma. But in country B, such a suggestion would be seen as an attack against said country.
Itâs just hard to find non-tax examples

If they've established themselves elsewhereâjob, homeâno.
Conversely, unlike some countries, emigrants shouldn't have to pay taxes on income not earned in their former country.
They regain the right on return.
And for the same reason, immigrantsš who have established themselves somewhereâjob, home,⌠âshould be allowed to vote after at most 5 years.
Disclosure: I emigrated from England and never voted there since.

1. Funny how it's mostly white people who are called "expats", people of colour are "immigrants"

Se volete essere complici, pensate alla scommessa che state facendo

@DavidBHimself @evan I simply don't like what expats tend to vote for.
-
@evan From some answers, I see a lot of people have the good old landowner (male and white too?) mentality when it comes to voting rights. You would expect people on the Fediverse to understand what democracy and citizenship are a little better.

They keep putting Randy out in the woods by himself, and he should not be out in the woods by himself. It's yoga bro abuse.
