Co-Opt Their Movements For Votes
The Intercept ^ | 4/29/26 | Jessica Washington, C. Frances

A seventeen-second video shows a dark-haired man rapping his pale knuckles gently below the tinted windows of a silver minivan. He stands back, shoving his hands into the pockets of his puffer coat, his boyish face twisted into a severe expression. The car drives off, and the camera pans to follow it down the suburban Minneapolis road. No words are spoken.

Splashed across the screen, a bright red and white caption reads, “ICE was circling a local elementary school. I knocked on their door to have a conversation, but they ran away instead.”

The man is Matt Little, 41, a former mayor and state senator from nearby Lakeville seen as the front-runner to replace outgoing Democratic Rep. Angie Craig in Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional district.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

This is about strategy and tactics, not about ideology. It is about tactics on the left. But is very relevant to tactics on the right. We need to be aware of, and improve strategy and tactics... and be aware when they are in play.

Time.

I just want to understand how these libtards have the time to chase ICE and all these other things they seem to do.

Time?

"...they ran away instead.”

They're tired of listening to idiots rant nonsense.

So, Matt Little, a Minnesota Democrat politician, claims an ICE vehicle is circling an elementary school.

Why should I believe that?

On the other hand, thousands of immigrant minor children have been smuggled into the USA.

How does Matt Little know that ICE is not trying to save some poor immigrant child from a Hell on Earth home life?

The goal is to understand the tactics, recognize them.
