Inspired to see our neighbors turn out yet again in valve-freezing temperatures to call for an end to ICE violence and oppression in Minneapolis… and everywhere.

There are going to be more hard and sad and infuriating days ahead. Keep that in mind. Don’t lose sight of it.
But remember this feeling—not just of Bovino on the run and the handful of Republicans trying to show genuine contrition, but of the Brass Solidarity Band. This’s the spark. Fan the flame.
