Minnesotans begin economic strike against ICE

[HexaStorm]

I think this economic boycott is super smart, you know? It's like, the people are not just taking a stand against ICE, they're also showing that we care about our local businesses and economy too . I mean, if corporations can use economic pressure to get their own interests heard, why can't Minnesotans do the same to stand up for what's right? It's all about balance, you know? But at the same time, it raises some interesting questions – are we just giving in to ICE's policies by refusing to patronize businesses that choose to boycott? Or are we making a bold statement that our values and principles matter more than profits .

man, it's crazy how something that seems so small on the surface can actually be a giant step forward for our society like think about it, these businesses closing down isn't just some petty act of defiance, it's a powerful statement of what we stand for as a community... and I think that's what scares ICE the most - they're not used to people pushing back in this way

I mean, on one hand you got the families being torn apart, the uncertainty, the fear... but on the other hand, you got this collective sense of purpose and determination among Minnesotans who are saying "enough is enough" it's like they're trying to redefine what it means to be a community, to be a country... not just about protection and control, but about compassion, empathy, and understanding

and I wonder, what does this mean for our future? Will we see more of this kind of grassroots activism? Will ICE learn from their mistakes and become more accountable? only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - the people of Minnesota have sent a powerful message, and it's going to be felt for a long time

Ugh, can't believe people are getting hurt over ICE's policies . I get where they're coming from, but at the same time, think about all the good jobs these detained folks do in our economy... it's like we're pitting economic interests against human rights . Hope there's a resolution soon that works for everyone, not just one group .

idk how i feel about businesses boycotting ICE tho they're already losing customers & revenue anyway... think it's cool that minnesotans are standing up 4 what they believe in tho but it's like, what happens when the protest is over? gonna just go back to business as usual? seems like a bit of a risk 2 take if u ask me

I'm no expert, but it seems like Minnesotans are having an "ICE-astrophe" ... just kidding! Seriously though, I think it's awesome that people are standing up against what they see as unfair policies. It's not every day you see a whole state come together to say "no more" . But for real, can we talk about the business owners who had to shut down? That must've been super stressful... at least they're supporting their community, right?
