How has Minneapolis remained so non-violent in the face of Trump's horrific provocations?

Tens of thousands shut down work, school, and shopping in subzero Minneapolis to protest the ICE occupation.

How did January 23 happen, and what comes next?

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.
Thousands of new ICE watchers hit the streets after two killings
Minnesotans outraged by the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti have signed up in large numbers to monitor and protest ICE with other activists.

This is what democracy sounds like: three Minneapolis organizers chart the process that built an effective multiracial fight back against federal occupation. Moving beyond a brave and nimble minority to a "popular front" majority to beat back fascism and win democratic victories for all

One of the best things about this episode is the attention to fractions of capital which are—and have to be—in tension with each other. There is no capital “T” Tech as there is no capital “C” Capital... Mapping the fissures, finding present and coming contradictions is critical work.

An outstanding inquiry into the nature of Trump’s foreign policy—how it represents both an intensification of previous practices and a decisive break with them, how it arises from and compounds domestic inequalities, the prospects for a form of domination actively opposed to hegemony.
Trump is clearly not the isolationist many believed he was. From the wreckage of bipartisan imperialist consensus, Trump's creating a new MAGA model empire. New Dig episode analyzing MAGA Empire and the history that made it with Aslı Bâli and Greg Grandin www.thedigradio.com/podcast/maga...

Asli is on fire here. 1.5 hours in is a bracing series of points about how much precedent there is for Trump’s lawlessness. If we’re going to rebuild we need to confront the long pattern and not just Trump’s insane variations
