National Strike Called for Jan 23: ICE out of Minn

[Hafar1014]

Should ICE be abolished altogether?

How can democrats protest the problem they created in the first place

 

[citygator]

Because they have to donate a portion of their salary every month to the outdated concept known as 'unions?'

Short sighted.

Did you notice that since the mob has become less powerful, unions are dying out, seems like a connection to me.

Fuel is global dumbass. The "law of supply and demand" is a "law" of economics. That average 600,000 bbls a day would have eventually lowered fuel prices, not raised them.

600,000 barrels? From where? That pipeline was not going to create a single barrel of oil through production. Come on man

Our best chance is to win the 2028 election, and hold the WH for 11 more years. We will need that time to rid the country of the illegals the Dems ushered in, and restore a system where law enforcement is obeyed and criminals are punished.

With nobody hiring illegals and a shrinking workforce, wages will have to go up bigly across the board. Thats promising.

Nope. All we need to do is require welfare recipients to get a job if they want to keep getting welfare. They’ll flood the market and wages will stay where they are.

Wages havent moved for non-college grads (working class) since the 90's. Biden nor Trump meaningfully moved those numbers up or down so you post is another troll lie. Maybe your legs are too short for you to see the data?

Workers share of GDP is way down and wages have been stagnant for all except college grads.

Why would you remove the people? What would you change about how the organization operates? Or are you only spouting meaningless platitudes?

Should illegal immigrants be arrested and deported back to their original country?

It's an easy yes/no question.

So citygator was just bloviating as usual, can't answer real questions with specifics. Details are their enemy, we should constantly be asking them about details.

Why dont you want workers to earn more? Enough with wage suppression.

Im all for it and then they make wages that will actually keep them off assistance. None of this $20 per hour garbage

This is what people are protesting dipshit. If you are brown in America following all the rules you are being harassed and arrested by ICE. It is illegal for ICE to racially profile and that is ALL they are doing. Nothing else. These raids are illegal.

No one wants criminals in the US. Crossing the boarder alone to apply for asylum does not make a person a criminal. It is a civil infraction barely a misdemeanor and should be handled as any asylum request and processed. If they dont have a valid asylum argument then they are humanely deported. This bullshit and immoral mistreatment of people looking for asylum because they are brown is heinous.

I can answer any question because I have a moral compass with foundational beliefs based on law. Not the shit ass fuckery the right is dealing these days.

Thread 'MN Police Chief Outlines Reported Illegal Activities of ICE'

Jan 20, 2026

Brooklyn Park (Twin Cities area) talks about how the recent activity of ICE has been illegally stopping and targeting minorities based on their skin color - including officers.

• Says the last two weeks have seen unprecedented illegal stops and targeting of minorities
• Said off duty cops are being stopped - every one stopped was a person of color
• Said one off duty cop was driving home, was boxed in by ICE who demanded to see...

A married couple earning $20 an hour earn $80,000 a year. That’s lower-middle class to straight middle class for minimally-skilled, uneducated people, as a starting point.

As they acquire more skills and move up the ladder, they will earn more.

 

[Dirk the Daring]

Short sighted.

Geez, that's really unfortunate. Maybe the unions should start letting their members keep more of their money rather than demanding their cut from each paycheck...? That would certainly be beneficial to the union members...

As long as they get full health benefits from the employer...very low deductibles are necessary.

Yes, there is a call for a general strike on January 23, 2026, organized by labor unions, faith leaders, and community groups to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions, with calls for people to stay home from work, school, and shopping. While centered in Minnesota, there are appeals for workers across the U.S. to support this action to demand the removal of ICE from the state.

Key Details:

• Date: January 23, 2026.
• Location: Primarily Minneapolis, Minnesota, with broader calls for national participation.
• Organizers: Various unions (like ATU Local 1005, SEIU Local 26) and community/faith groups.
• Reason: In response to ICE actions and the death of Renee Nicole Good, demanding ICE removal from Minnesota.
• Action: A "no work, no school, no shopping" day to show solidarity and protest.

You must really hate America. Most would just move but someone not wanting to work and stop children from school or for working Americans to shop tells me you must be scamming the government on a number of programs. Believe it or not the majority of Americans think you leftist, useless, jobless, liberal, clowns aren't worth the dirt you are made of. Birds of a feather must ring true and you fit right in with the fraudsters you support. I'm sure every jobless, criminal, illegal, will be on hand to show their hate for the nation that feeds them. You have just shown where your patriotism lies, and it has nothing to do with America. At best you are a bad joke

Youre just talking out of your ass. What do you know about union participation trends in the US?

Workers need to protect themselves from the bad employers in america. Thats why job hopping is vital to working citizens. Its the sign of a valuable employee.
