Most non-Minnesotans have no idea what this means, but to put it plainly: we're raised with not just the expectation but essentially -programming- to assist others who get stuck during the winter. We'll help people we'd otherwise punch on sight if they're stuck in the snow and ice, for zero reward.
This is the level of rage we're at with ICE. I'm not joking to say it's almost physically painful to not help someone stuck like that, and it's worth it because the people stuck are ICE.
The only way we have to express how mad we are above this is channeling the First Minnesota all over again.
The Scandinavians who settled in Minnesota brought with them their Norse understanding of the laws of hospitality: you do not fuck around with winter, that if someone needs help in the winter, you help them as long as they don't actively try to hurt you or your neighbors. Food, shelter, labour, whatever, if you can help in winter, you do.
ICE has violated the "actively try to hurt you or your neighbors" bit of the laws of hospitality, and thus the hospitality has been revoked. They are free to feel winter's wrath against those who would bring harm to the community.
I like to think that Lady Skaði would be proud of her distant children.
Please if you have a chance, report this GoFundMe!
Here’s the Report Fundraiser link: https://www.gofundme.com/contact/suggest/fraud
And here’s the ICE agent’s GoFundMe which you’ll need to copy and paste into the report: https://www.gofundme.com/f/ice-offuver-jonathan-ross
Template for report:
This GFM is fraudulent, as it claims to be raising funds for the Beneficiary with statements such as: “legal defense fund pays attorney fees and court costs” and “mounting medical bills” yet his employer, the Federal Government, will cover his legal defense and offers him and his family full medical coverage. The GFM Organizer has also admitted to having no affiliation with the Beneficiary and has not been in contact with him. This breaks the GFM terms of service 8.2: “Fundraisers that are fraudulent, misleading, inaccurate, dishonest or impossible.” Additionally, this GFM breaks terms of service: "8.10. the legal defense of financial and violent crimes, including those related to money laundering, murder, robbery, assault, battery, sex crimes or crimes against minors.” These funds are fraudulent and a celebration of murder and a great risk to GFM’s reputation that must be stopped.
between this fundraiser and another one on "givesendgive" around $600,000 has been raised. Please help prevent this man from getting a half-million dollar prize for shooting Renee Nicole Good in the head.
internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing
