Not to confuse anyone — we also have gay pride events all across the state — but I’m talking about general pride in one’s state, which seems to be doing a lot of right things, in addition to being a regular rainbow state.
Even our ‘criminals’ are heroic.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota on Tuesday announced that 15 Antifa members have been indicted for their alleged roles in conspiring to hinder federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis earlier this year.
The suspects, 12 of whom are in custody, are all charged with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, according to a 94-page criminal complaint, and some are charged with further crimes. Federal prosecutors allege that each suspect took part in a conspiracy to obstruct federal immigration enforcement officers, including ICE personnel, through force, intimidation and threats.
The suspects are alleged members of the Antifa cell Direct Action Minnesota Network (DAMN), a radical far-left group accused of coordinating operations against federal immigration officers.
Hah, “radical far-left”. Those are just normal Minnesotans resisting the real criminals, the fascist state. Spread the news: most of us are antifa to some degree. There are almost 6 million citizens here, they better be prepared to arrest 3 million.
Anyway, Minnesotans are disgracefully and arrogantly proud of our state for many reasons, including our generally progressive politics. There’s a song about it.
Now if only we could be so unashamedly proud of our whole dang country, but it’s going to take a lot of work to change that course.
Minneapolis city authorities are also considering making gay bathhouses legal once more!

I mean, it’s still not enough to get me to want to go to the USA in the next few centuries, but it’s nice to know that if I were to lose sanity completely there might eventually be be places I can go to be sexually ignored for a few hours.
This case is very similar to the recent Broadview Six case outside of Chicago. This case was the arrest of demonstrators outside an ICE prison, and the fake charges they were facing, including felonies. One of those charged was Kat Abughazaleh, a candidate for the IL-10 district House of Representatives seat. She came in second in the Democratic Party primary.
The charges were dismissed by the judge after reading the Grand Jury transcripts.
The federal prosecutors committed numerous crimes to get those indictments and are now in serious trouble themselves.
Among them, they lied to the Grand Jury, and presented the same charges several times after dismissing the jurors who voted against the indictments.
Most of the demonstrators who get arrested by the police will have their charges dismissed or be found not guilty if they go to court.
This is because almost all of these charges are fake, bogus, made up, lies.
The police claim this guy assaulted them.
The video show this guy on the ground while the police beat him with their clubs.
The prosecutors claim there was a conspiracy.
In reality, none of the defendants knew each other or had any communications before they were arrested.
ICE claims they were in fear for their lives.
Multiple videos show ICE agents shooting unarmed civilians doing nothing, i.e. Goodman and Pretti.
The police and prosecutors lie a lot.
When it goes to court, they don’t have any evidence and the available evidence shows they are lying. Case dismissed.
The police and prosecutors know these charges are fake and aren’t going to work in court.
They don’t care.
The charges are the punishment.
It cost two of the Broadview Six $250,000 in legal fees to show that their was major prosecutorial misconduct in the Federal Attorney’s office in Chicago.
Hey, Mississippi has its own song too which sums up the worst of the USoA and, yeah, that ain’t nuthin’ to be proud of – but sure is Trumpist Dumberica.

Mississippi is where the blues, and many of the greatest blues musicians, originated so it’s not all bad.

And this Nina Simone song makes a good bookend to the Phil Ochs piece.
As long as courts are expensive, simply prosecuting someone is an attack on their livelihood. The procedure of arrest is a crime against the innocent.
