This is a powerful, grounded account of community resistance in the face of still-ongoing brutality. We'd encourage folks to read it for a reality check about what's going on in Minneapolis.

Article edited by @davidforbes.bsky.social
We became unified against ICE in a way I’ve never seen before. Actions are decentralized, every single person is mobilizing, ready to put themselves on the front lines for their neighbors. More people are shot. Another person, Alex Pretti, is killed. Time starts to lose its meaning. I’m dissociating most of the day every day. I keep my whistle on me, have a supply kit ready to go and a plan if things escalate. I still have to work, pay bills, do errands, attend appointments, do chores. Meanwhile, people are kidnapped, infants are choking on tear gas. ICE is beating minors and abandoning them with nothing on their person in places they’ve never been. I’m checking every license plate I see, jumping at every bang I hear, running to the door at every gut-wrenching feeling I get. Local and state cops — along with the National Guard — continue working with ICE. People deny it, but the knowledge hits in that no one will save us, no authority will liberate us. More and more realize this is real, and this is now the way things are Like many trans people in poverty, I’ve dealt with no shortage of oppression and violence in my life, but for the first time, it properly sinks in how myself and everyone I love, everyone I know, everyone I see and could have contact to, can die in an instant. Before I know it, I could be next. My loved ones can be next. My neighbors can be next. I have no way of knowing. No one does. It sinks for everyone here that the only way out is through, to keep organizing. Any of us can be next.
