To me, anytime we talk about something that wrong, it’s because some of the finest moments that brought out the greatest character of this country is how we put it right. 15164151556

Reposted by LauraNicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 16/01/2026I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status. 577334798596

Reposted by LauraAsha Rangappa @asharangappa.bsky.social · 09/01/2026My personal view is that you need to go limp and not resist, as any attempt to fight back will clearly be used as a justification to escalate, even lethally (despite being legally prohibited). Yell your name to bystanders, tell them to record, scream “I am not resisting!” Words are your weapons 991644427
