One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Protesting is a fundamental right of citizenship. There is nothing wrong or unpatriotic about protesting.
These people would not be on the streets if ICE wasn’t attacking their neighbors. So then, being in the streets is literally an active protest.
