I'd like popularism a lot better if they could read polls.
YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents**

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.

there is some level of gleeful participation in state-sponsored brutality at which i think people forfeit their humanity. this isn't banality of evil stuff, people "just doing their jobs." they enjoy it. they only understand and respect physical violence and terror

People have removed police tape, now surrounding the crime scene with branches and sticks.

Minneapolis police are falling back, shooting tear gas canisters at the entire neighborhood exactly the way that ICE agents do. In these situations, there is no meaningful distinction between ICE and the local police. Demonstrators are attempting to protect each other by throwing back the canisters.

as someone living in minneapolis, this made me cry

sometimes it feels glib to say, “we’re going to win” but when I see the indomitable human spirit all I think is, “we’re going to win”. they will never crush us all.

The easiest way to identify fellow transplants is to see who’s willing to take the last cookie. It’s hard work, but someone has to do it.
At the end of the day there was one last cookie that no one would take. I LOVE YOU, MINNESOTA!

how am I supposed to believe in any of this anymore? how am I supposed to ever believe again me and my neighbors have unalienable rights from what I have seen and experienced here in Minnesota? how would I ever trust this again with what I have seen with my own two eyes?
Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

I have never ever seen anything like this. I have seen communities organize around natural disasters in a somewhat similar way but obv that wasn’t 80% SECRET.

ICE is incapable of being constrained and I would think Minnesota’s senior senator would realize this by now given the absolute brutality being unleashed on her constituents.
I voted against that bill and I will vote against this bill when and if it comes to the Senate.

ICE is making our communities less safe. We need real constraints on what they are doing in Minnesota & across the country.

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.
