The NYT has a weaker headline:
‘Enough Is Enough’: Hundreds of Minnesota Businesses Take Stand Against ICE
After protesters called for a pause on economic activity and work to strike against the federal immigration crackdown, many business owners won’t open their doors on Friday.
Its a general strike. The first in the US in living memory
A list of businesses is here
All this is going to do is punish local Minnesotans. ICE and conservatives could give two shits if those businesses shut down for a day, they will still continue to abduct people at gunpoint as long as no one tries to deter them.

It means a lot more people will be out on the streets to stop ICE.
It’s going to be down to -15 degrees in Minneapolis today. It will be legitimately dangerous to be outside. The vast majority of people will be cooped up inside all weekend. Not saying this was a bad idea, just a very unfortunate day to plan it.
I see big crowds
Minnesota residents are far better prepared to be outside in the cold than ICE
It’s nice to see that! I know I’m currently hiding under the covers so those people are all brave to be out there.
FYI you need to be signed into bluesky to see that post.
I’m not logged in because I won’t create an account with them, and knowing the fedi I’m probably not the only one, so may want to repost the image here.
Disimpact your head from your rectum.
Minnesotans are being invaded and murdered by ICE and you’re of the opinion that, in light of said murder, they’re going to be a bit burdened if they need to travel a bit further than they ordinarily would. Why are you assuming that they won’t be able to get necessities, anyway?
I’d bet solid money that non-fascist Minnesotans are far more burdened by the government-sanctioned murderers invading their state and murdering people, and can very likely find a way to endure for a day this “punishment” you yap about.
