National Strike Called for Jan 23: ICE out of Minn

[BackAgain]

OK, **** you. You are the supporter of a child rapist and Russian imperialism. The Greenland issue is simply Trump responding to Putin's orders to destroy NATO.

Suck more assholes, Moldy Cock.

I support President Trump and reject your false claims about him. So, **** yourself up your ass with a rusty rasp.

The Greenland issue is simple. It is in a crucial location for our national security as well as being a place which has resources we need — a place not controlled by China or Russia.

This does not mean that we would ever truly just march into take over. You’re a gullible rancid ****.

I am not really understanding Greenland. I don't see it as much of a strategic issue. I really think it is the minerals, especially the rare earths. And I am not understanding the problem there. First, Denmark does not control Greenland's mineral resources, Greenland does. And they have already contracted out the rights to several rich rare earth deposits. Commercial production is a way off, they desperately need to scale infrastructure. But already, we are promised 25% of all rare earth minerals, devoted specifically to the defense industry.

That’s ok. The process isn’t controlled by what you see or can’t see.

I really think it is the minerals, especially the rare earths.

Most people recognize that that consideration is also one on the list of why President Trump is trying to make a case for “getting” Greenland.

And I am not understanding the problem there.

Also, not significant. What you don’t understand doesn’t control.

First, Denmark does not control Greenland's mineral resources, Greenland does.

Yep. And what does that have to do with the issue?

And they have already contracted out the rights to several rich rare earth deposits.

We know. And?

Commercial production is a way off, they desperately need to scale infrastructure. But already, we are promised 25% of all rare earth minerals, devoted specifically to the defense industry.

Which wouldn’t be available to us if it is effectively controlled by our major competitors.

In any event, your thesis is mistaken. There are several inter-related reasons for why we’d like to make sure that Greenland isn’t controlled by Russia or China. Amount those reasons:

1. Strategic location relative to any long range nuclear missiles aimed toward the USA.

2. Those rare Earth metals, etc.

3. Shipping lanes.

4. Messaging not to our own side (like Europe and Canada); but to our potentially violent enemies. What you don’t see doesn’t Morse them from seeing.

This is somewhat similar to why President Trump went after Maduro. Not just drugs. Not just getting oil. But smart of a much larger agenda. Denying Venezuelan oil to nations like Russia and Iran. Among other things, such petroleum (needed by those bloody regimes) being cut/off (or at least massively confined) serves to impede their war efforts. Currently, Iran’s theocratic leadership is waging war against the Iranian people. Starve the ayatollahs.

Again, unlike you, they “get it.”

Wages are up for workers taxes are lower so they have more spending power. Biden destroyed their economy

Real earnings are up by one percent, one flippin percent. Reckon that pays for the tariffs? I don't think so.

I mean it is tough out there, in the trenches. Companies are going lean and mean, hiring is at a standstill, waiting for the smoke to clear, from the tariffs, to this ICE bullshit. Last year's college graduates are having a nightmare of a time. And the impact from Covid will linger for years to come.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Well, so only rich people should be able to protest because only they can afford to.

No problem there then?

No, that’s not what I was saying at all, I was just saying, you can’t protest for a week and not work, because you need money to live.

Unless you take vacation, or have another source of income.

Most people, however, can’t take a week off work with no pay, to go protest.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

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.

ICE Out: January 23 General Strike Brewing in Minnesota

Thanks for the info. I’ll be sure to tune in for a good laugh.

Okay, and this doesn't really have much to do with anything in this discussion, does it?

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

I already took the day off. Of course you are a social security deadbeat.

Looks like it’s time to get the ***** hat out of the crawl space.

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

Somebody is paying them to strike.

It goes back to me, sarcastically saying “maybe they should protest for a week…or a month..” and you saying “maybe they will”..and.. here we are.

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 he supports immigration enforcement
• Says federal LEOs have worked successfully with his office for years, including ICE
• 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...

Pure bullshit. It's amusing you think they're just going around and picking up 'brown' people.

So, as long as they're coming for asylum, they should be let in and allowed to stay? How many should be allowed in to stay annually?

What's 'humanely' deported?

Didn't think this was your main point. It was something to comment upon, and then to be left.

 

[JusticeHammer]

The only thing that explains is that you are an ignorant idiot. No one "opened the border". I mean it is comical. All those millions of illegal immigrants you throw around. Where do the numbers start? With encounters, at the border. How the hell you have encounters when the border is open? See how you idiots don't make sense.

In the hopes of making them Democrat voters. WTF, is there some reason the Republican party can't court potential naturalized citizens? Trump won his second term by moving a significant amount of the Hispanic vote into his column, especially among young males. As no one bothered to tell him that? What group can he shift now to replace them?

The idiots are you fools on the left.

 

[Winston]

The idiots are you fools on the left.

Look at yourself. Are you proud? Show me your papers. Targeting people based on their skin tone. Show me your papers. I mean I am struggling with how I would react. Would take every ounce of my self control not to beat the living hell out of anyone fool enough to ask, ICE vest be damned. It don't work that way hoss, it really don't.

I mean I think I get it. I know what this is. That second generation immigrant, you know, the ones with the birthright citizenship that your kind so desperately wants to eliminate. They are some badass dudes, no shit. No cohort, NONE, can touch them when it comes to climbing. And they coming to get you, they smell your fear.

And then the first two years of the last administration showed us all. You remember? You know better. Those stupid deplorables. It was a mirage. The misery you put us through and will do again. And you may get voted in from these fools. Defense industry? Perhaps you should have helped it along with results and a pure easy naval shipyards building vessels.

 

[Seymour Flops]

I cannot wait to see how all the welfare dolees, student loan deadbeats, and disability fraudsters who have been harassing ICE go "on strike."

I always thought you had to have a job to go on strike, so this will be a learning experience.

Liar, nobody is targeting people based on skin color. You idiots love illegals over Americans. Liberals are commie retards, retired.

Yawn. More old washed out hippies from the sixties out stomping their petty little feet. Again.

So ******* what.

 

[Sparker]

I see a forecast high of 8 below tomorrow in Minneapolis. I'll call that a weather strike. Everyone stays home until warmer weather, maybe spring.
