Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

For example: brave & effective Mississippi voting rights activist, Rev. George W. Lee, was murdered by shotgun in 1955.
Sheriff said it was a traffic accident & the shotgun pellets were dental fillings.
