Bare bones poster that reads: ICE OUT! Justice for Alex Pretti! Justice for Renee Good! NATIONWIDE SHUTDOWN! JAN 30, 2026 2pm March in Downtown Minneapolis. NO WORK. NO SCHOOL. NO SHOPPING.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

The United States lacks a lot of organizing structures compared to other countries, as well as lacking the social safety nets. Let this be a stepping stone rather than a point for derision.

    Wow. Lots of assumptions there. I'm so glad that someone that doesn't live here is so much better informed about what's going on in my backyard that they can tell I don't know anything.

    I would say 'get fucked', but that would mean someone has to suffer your bullshit. Go back to .ml or /pol/ you fucking ostrich.

    you keep on throwing insults and yet have not backed up any point you are trying to make...

    Best of luck with your, only after 2 pm on Friday protest, maybe this time they won't murder more of you on the streets

    You've backed up no point either, and acting like you know it all about someone else's politics better than they do. You're virtue signaling to do better when you literally have no power to do so.

    How is boycotting US goods doing anything. You already don't pay the costs of tariffs, we do. You're screaming about somebody else's problems and acting like the resistance we're actually doing is doing nothing. Alright well what are you doing about it besides metaphorically complaining that you're neighbors are loud?

    I'll keep throwing insults as long as you keep your head so far in the sand, you're tasting bedrock.

    Get off your high horse and throw away your robes and gavel. You're literally a parasite.

    You’ve backed up no point either

    My point is that you are holding marches on weekends... the post is my backing... it's called for Friday after 2 pm and, if it works like the last one, it will spill over to Saturday and Sunday but not Monday

    By now, you should be having general strikes everywhere, not weekend marches

    How is boycotting US goods doing anything

    Trump only listens to rich people... Some rich people are losing money and whining about it

    You’re screaming about somebody else’s problems and acting like the resistance we’re actually doing is doing nothing.

    Not nothing... just not enough considering the stakes

    I’ll keep throwing insults as long as you keep your head so far in the sand, you’re teasing bedrock.

    I know, you have no point to make and are just flailing around in frustration

    You’re literally a parasite.

    LOL that one doesn't even make sense... unless you are with your dear Leader, the Pedophile in Chief, that Canada only lives because you let us

    PS: kindly fuck you and clean up your mess
