We must not wallow in despair.
We do need moments to grieve, to feel and process the weight of the world.
But this is not the time to throw up our hands in defeat.
This is the time for mutual aid and community care.
This is the time to organize.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.

Before I came, I asked a local friend if the cold (it's going to be -20 or so in the coming days) would stop people from coming out. "No, we'll be there. It's ICE who can't handle it."

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it.
Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

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.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

"Perhaps it’s too much to ask for a large centralized bureaucracy like the province ... Stuff like that is better left to local communities... Decisions for schools in the district of Toronto. A Toronto District School Board, if you will. Someone should tell the province to give that idea a shot."

Safe Parkside is reporting another high speed crash today. Doug Ford’s Ontario &, apparently, the one Ontario voters want.
Tho Toronto not off hook here - city & local councillor did nothing long before Ford’s meddling despite pleas for them to act.

Reversing the decision made by our elected trustees to cap class sizes for grades 4-8 at 32 students counter to all evidence. No justification. What else should we expect when Ford put a former Metrolinx advisor in charge of Canada’s largest school board? #tdsb #onted #onpoli
