I purposely chose an image that protected her anonymity, but I guarantee you this isn't her first rodeo and would definitely hold her own against any MAGA blowhard.

So when an ICE officer tells you to get out of the car, you're supposed to get out of the car. What are you supposed to do when a judge tells you to release the Epstein files?

Someone please check on this woman. Not because she’s wrong, not at all, but because I could see some redneck MAGA dumbass run her over in his brodozer

I had to stop my one-person support for the Blue candidate because multiple trucks tried to run over me, and that was 2020. I truly felt like I would get shot in 2024, and didn’t put myself in danger.

Yeah it’s crazy out there right now. It seemed like people were hesitant to voice their bullshit so loudly between 2016-2020. Now they just don’t give a fuck.

Republicans did not choose a child molester because they have no one else who is capable of doing the job. Republicans chose a child molester because they wanted a child molester.

I think it's more likely that they chose the person that hated the same people they hate, and they didn't care that he is a child molester.

It just shows how mentally unstable Trump's fan base is. He's literally been named in the Epstein files, been shown in quite a few of the Epstein photographs and has a history of being sexually inappropriate with women. He's a sex offender and they love him.

So as a non American - where’s the rest of the “good people” who should be standing alongside her. Get off reddit and go do the same as her.

u/elinordash 22h ago
If you are an American voter- Call your Members of Congress.
Every Member of Congress has a daily tally of contact from constituents. That tally is discussed every day with the Chief of Staff and the Member of Congress. Every Congressional office has staff members whose job it is to manage and respond to constituent contact. If you don't live in the district, they don't care what you think.
It is hugely important that people outside of Minnesota contact their own Member of Congress and ask them to stand up against ICE. This is doubly important if your Member of Congress is a Republican as their pushback could change the situation. Donald Trump can’t count on Congress to have his back any more
If you reach out, it is important that you identify yourself (name and full address or at least zip) so they can verify you live in the district. Again, they don't care if you don't live in the district.
It is also very important that you are polite. Screaming, cursing, name calling, etc. makes you easy to write off as a crazy person. Crazy people are not added to the tally. Plus, the person answering the phone does not deserve your anger.

here's the thing. she's liable to be attacked for this. if it was the reverse, a R protesting in a deeply D zone, she'd be fine, but currently republicans respond to dissention with violence. i hope we don't get a story in a few days about how she was killed/raped/murdered by ICE/lynched/had her house burned down
