[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Naturalized citizen here. Sadly, the US has no history of meaningful civil protest, except for the Vietnam Era, and even that was not successful. So people have no clue how to protest, and their first thought is leaving.[/quote]

The LGBTQ+ movement is the blueprint for meaningful civil protest in the US. Not just protest for modern media as a tool to educate and change attitudes.[/quote]

NOT THE SAME.

We have never before lived in a time where federal forces can murder us in broad daylight with no repercussions. Where there is zero attempt to prosecute the people taking faked up warrants door to door to make arrests with weapons pointed at kids by entire militarized squadrons.

I would love hope. But I hate the idea that people are lazy or unaware of history they are terrified of protest. I truly don’t know what to do. There has never been a persistent danger of being murdered, being disappeared, or being deported without a trace at a massive scale, in this country and that is what’s going on.

If I were in Minnesota, the total failure of Walz, Frey, Klobuchar, Ellison, to do something, anything, to help - it’s just devastating. They are all afraid and they are now also all silent and complicit.[/quote]

Yes it is.  The LGTBQIA+ community is no different than the Black community’s struggle for their civil rights.[/quote]

Nope. Stonewall was ONCE. Minneapolis is a Stonewall every 5 minutes - on film! Without judicial warrants! People are being tracked, taken, hurt, and arrested around the clock and Walz told citizens to “not do anything” to provoke ICE, in lieu of trying to use state force to protect state residents.

Get real.[/quote]
