I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

This is why talks of training are so disingenuous. You can't train someone to have a soul. Someone who could willingly do this is soulless and any politicians who can continue to discuss anything other than the abolishment of this monstrous org is also soulless.
I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

The most disturbing new trend in ICE behavior is agents escorting legal observers who are out patrolling our neighborhoods to their home, stopping, exiting the vehicle and pointing at their house. The message they're sending is pretty clear.

Agree with this. I'd also add that we have a limited picture of what activism looks like & who an activist is, & this is does not at all capture the breadth & depth of activism that is happening in multiple spaces & temporalities. Sick & disabled activists demonstrate this in numerous ways.
I continue to be, let's say 'annoyed,' at nat'l coverage that posits "Americans" are reacting w/ passivity. Most leaders may be, but I spend every day talking to ordinary people taking extraordinary steps to protect their families, communities and countries. National media just missing the story.
Here @ashleyrparker.bsky.social tries to explain the peculiar passivity with which America has greeted naked authoritarianism.

They clearly believed that Minneapolis would riot after they killed one of us. We didn’t, we organized. We followed them, we monitored them. We alerted our neighbors. We fought them in the courts. And now they’re desperate, so they’re brutalizing us, without a hint of legitimate government purpose.

Columbia Heights school district confirms a 5-year-old child detained by federal agents. He and his dad were at their home after coming home from preschool. The agent then took the child to the door of the home and told the boy to knock and ask to be let in, “essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.”

Is it @startribune.com policy to refer to anyone confronting ICE as a protester? This obscures the nature of what people are doing. We're not protesting ICE. We're constitutional observers documenting human rights abuses by agents of the state.
