If you haven’t been following… ICE presence in Minneapolis is still very heavy. Despite media attention elsewhere… the resistance is still overwhelming ICE on the ground:
One ICE guy stopped in the middle of a road in the middle of a block and turned on his lights, and it was thrilling to watch a whole fleet of commuters pull up one by one, parking at the top and bottom of the block, ahead, behind, covering all the exits, a kind of police standoff in reverse

A (city) block is both a measure of length and area

i think if you post like this without offering concrete steps people can take to prepare for and respond to interference or without any acknowledgement of the success (or lack thereof) of this strategy then you are basically engaged in voter suppression.

No that was the Civil War
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

1. Shoot people like dogs
2. Unrest
3. Martial law

The plan is that transparent. Don’t let them
ALL MN PROTESTERS

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

The whole of Congress should be descending on Whipple right now.
Why are they sending witnesses to Whipple?

WHY ARE THEY SENDING WITNESSES TO WHIPPLE?
ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.

do you feel righteous fury in your heart? like never before? yes?

this righteous fury in our hearts can only belong to our side.

if we bring guns, we let them feel that. and we will lose because they will also have more guns.
Just FYI in Minnesota it’s legal to open or conceal carry with a permit.

This is thanks to the Second Amendment which many Americans have fought to strengthen. The right of the people to stand up against tyranny.

A man on a Minneapolis street with a gun is not an inherent threat & within 2a rights

Cover up already starting…
Witnesses are being taken to Whipple.

From a lawyer friend: “They’re trying to keep local PD and BCA from getting statements and confiscating any phones with video.”

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

PC1 has a monster eigenvalue:
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.
