1. you know what would really piss them off...

is the entire city ( twin cities metro area ) just left town... went on strike, took a 2 week vacation.

Locked up every store, shop, restaurant, hotel, etc... and just left.

WTF would they do? Sleep at the ICE facility, start trucking in supplies... no one to make their meals, no one to wash dishes.

Armies need logistics. Deny them the logistics.

They can all stand around and demand "your papers" from each other.

Might as well leave, nothing much is getting done there now anyway with all ICEholes roaming the streets.

2. That's a great idea, but not everybody's up to traveling, like those in hospitals and those who work there

And I'm guessing that those who live and work there are already dreaming of that kind of escape.

3. It would take a massive gofundme

but I know I would kick in a substantial amount.

4. Now, that's an idea!

And everyone would have to spread out, go north, east, south and west, so no one in ice could follow them. I'm guessing that many in Minnesota are dreaming of escape about now...

5. That is not what some of us are dreaming about. (n/t)

6. theoretically an awesome idea

Just shut it all down for a couple of weeks or 3 or 4; something similar to the covid shut down days.
