[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone see the video of the yoga students surrounding two employees at the desk of a Core Power yoga studio in Minneapolis and berating them for taking down an anti-ICE sign because management hadn't approved it? They filmed it and put it online. Core Power says it has banned everyone involved from taking classes there. Crazy.[/quote]

What is the issue?  If the sign wasn’t approved by the management of a private business, why is this a problem?  The bigger problem is the students confronting the employees, which may be a violation of their membership contracts. [/quote]

I'm the OP. ICE is acting awful, but I have a problem with this bunch ganging up on a private employer like this and then filming it for the world's consumption. Private yoga companies are under no obligation to take a stand, and the demands to do so are nauseating. Ann Bauer wrote about this in The Free Press.[/quote]

Ugh. This is what I am afraid of happening - a return to the excesses of 2021. In fact part of me thinks that Steven Miller actually planned to have ICE be aggressive in order to trigger a left over-reaction. (A common authoritarian tactic.) I had hoped that we all learned our lessons about aggressive cancel culture but I am afraid not. [/quote]

The lieutenant governor of Minnesota went on socal media telling people to “put their bodies on the line” against ICE.  It’s hard to see how this is Stephan Miller’s fault, distasteful as he is.  This isn’t happening in the rest of the country.   [/quote]
