Seeing video of people swearing at ICE agents.
They're larping at being an occupying army, the street abuse is presumably part of the authentic experience.
Every once in a while I'm reminded I should explore my own Twin Cities more. Last week I ended up at a cute watch repair place and finally tried Ed's Lebanese Deli (it's inside a Super USA gas station). I know, I know. Just trust me.
