I feel like one of the key unexamined elements in the Minnesota vs. ICE story is the spiritual/cultural foundation of the region in midwestern Protestantism, specifically the liberal-progressive branch of the Lutheran denomination.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

People are constantly emailing us asking us how much whistles cost. It will always be $0. We send out 100 for $0. We send out 1000 for $0. Folks donating filament & shipping cash will let us keep doing that for as long as we need to, I hope! 💓

if you haven’t had the chance to waste an ice agents time. knowing that even for just that 15 minutes they are vaguely annoyed and can’t be kidnapping people, it’s a good feeling i’d recommend giving it a shot

Bullies have no reason to learn how to do anything else or plan for any other contingency because bullying always works for them.
And: one reason is that people think that appeasing them, or avoiding "provoking" them, will make them stop.
It never has and it never will. Only resistance works.
