Hundreds of kids are still detained.

"People increasingly are seeing people like Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as weak and useless, given their tendency to play softbody and write strongly worded letters to murderous ICE agents. No politician can or will save us. Certainly no police or military will."
TNN reporter Mira Lazine (@thefreeradical.org) found a community in Minneapolis. Now, that community is under attack by a fascist regime — and fighting back.
Here’s her look of the realities on the ground, where exhaustion and terror exist alongside defiance and hope:

Whistles are highly effective for both community defense and alerting people to the fact that there's an existential risk in their communities. If you are not centering the people who are fearing for their lives. families, and communities, I am not interested in whatever you have to say.

I had to pause for a bit the first time I edited this piece, because Mira's account of what it actually feels like to be on the ground in Minneapolis — as a journalist, a trans person in poverty and part of communities under siege — hit that hard.
