Classic Nazi mistake

From Minneapolis: I've Never Seen Unity Like This

Before I decided to come up to cover the anti-ICE resistance up there, I reached out to a friend who lived there. “It’s going to be really, really cold this week. Will people still show up?”

“Minnesotans will be there,” they told me. “ICE will be miserable.”

Because, as another friend put it to me: “ICE made a classic Nazi mistake: they invaded a winter people in winter.”

The people of Minnesota have never been afraid of ice, and these days, they’re proving that they’re not afraid of ICE either.
