For the record, when I put this chant on the No Kings Day chant list back in June, I wrote *fascist ICE*. Somewhere along the way, it got censored.

As of yesterday, no SNAP benefits will be paid in Minnesota for the remainder of October. No new cases or renewals will be approved. If the shutdown continues, it will affect benefits in November as well. The death cult in charge of Washington is getting their wish.

Some sign designs of mine that have proven popular. Do with them what you will.
"Ope, No Kings"

A loon with laser eyes blasts a crown, presumably after a King has been overthrown.

50501, Indivisible, Women's March"SALT ICE"

"Stand Against Legalized Terror"

Fists hold salt shakers, meant to represent opposition to ICE agents, the new KKK."New Mask, Same Task"

Picture of a Klan member morphing into a masked ICE agent. ICE is the new KKK."I want you for Antifa"

Parody of Uncle Sam recruitment poster. A masked man requests recruits for the supposed organization Antifa. Note: this organization doesn't actually exist.

With all this talk of political violence, my hot take is the "big beautiful bill" IS political violence. Deaths that will result from it were clearly known ahead of time. It's premeditated, and every single Republican legislator is complicit.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
