Moms showing up who wonβt be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols donβt turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.
I donβt think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

i think that the people interested in recriminations and score settling right now arenβt seriously grappling with the magnitude of what happened and the implications for the rest of our lives. most of us will probably die living in the political order that will emerge out of this election.
