In short:
A US immigration officer has shot and killed a woman in her car in Minneapolis, officials say.
The mayor says the Trump administration’s claim the incident was self-defence is not true, and told Immigration and Customs Enforcement to “get the f*** out of Minneapolis”.
What’s next?
A Minnesota official says the state will investigate the shooting with federal authorities.
what do you think everyone should do
General strike would be my choice.
For a few weeks now I have been expecting some real retaliation to be honest. It’s a damn mess that’s for sure.
I feel really sad for the decent Americans. I’ve got a bunch of LGBT+ friends in Australia that are really being affected by this, particularly the potential for it to spread.
Yeah I think it is definitely time for a general strike. There’s a list of serious grievance as long as my arm, but even just to demand that the murderer is charged with murder would be a good move. A line has to be drawn somewhere. And if murdering civilians has not cross the line, then wtf?
Shut down Minneapolis. Park your car in the middle of the street and block traffic with your body. Don’t go to work. March on City Hall and demand the mayor do more than talk. Obstruct everything you can. Throw your sabots into the machinery.
leave the US if you can?
Especially if you’re one of the current targets (not hetro+white). Claim asylum in another country. The evidence is clear to the rest of the world.
