If you don’t live in Minneapolis, I need you to know a few things about the occupation.

-the helicopters don’t stop

-there are so many abductions from cars that we have a towing moratorium and there are constantly cars parked haphazardly in the street—these are often running or have their hazards on and they often have glass from broken windows by the wheels

-even if you’re stationary in one spot, you will likely see ICE multiple times a day

-songs with honking or whistles on sports TVs in bars get people to stand up automatically

-most restaurants, even those that aren’t owned by immigrants, have locked their doors

-there was a military style checkpoint by the execution site of Alex Pretti last night and people had to prove they live there with ID or mail to get into their neighborhood

-whatever you see on the news or Instagram, it’s worse
