Right now, MSP activists are getting a ton of extremely sympathetic press coverage; Will's ride-alongs have worked in everyone's favor. Will talking about what he's doing has encouraged other people to get involved.
I have begged over and over for other rapid responders to talk to press; I often end up doing it anyway because my risk tolerance is high and I’m already targeted. I always, always make the terms of press engagement clear: no other observer can be identified in any way.
@whstancil.bsky.social engage with media thoughtfully and keep comrades safe or let someone else do it. the movement will be just fine without your clout chasing

i understand why people don’t want to talk to the press now, but will being willing to do so helps get the story out from someone who feels safe doing so. rep brad tabke is also doing a lot of anti ICE work openly under his name and i think this takes the heat off others who don’t want attention
I’m not totally sure how to address this but apparently I’m getting kicked out of ICE rapid response for the moment because I’m allowing press ridealongs, with an extremely strict condition that no other observer be identified. Lots of observers have allowed ridealongs and they benefit us.

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week.

Media keeps describing Pretti as a “protester” - “why bring a gun to a protest” - but he was something much more akin to a community-based first responder for ICE sightings. He likely wasn’t expecting to get beaten in the street by them or have any violent encounter. Just observe and alert.
You need to understand that there are not lengthy standoffs between protesters and ICE in Minneapolis. Alex Pretti was not a “protester” in a conventional sense. ICE lurks around the city and occasionally takes aggressive actions, and bystanders and observers document it and raise the alarm
obviously rioting is not what anyone wants to have happen, but does the NG's agenda being to control the protest suggest that they are there to support the federal agencies against the protestors?

They deployed ten times as many agents to a city 40% the size and then had them drive around in military convoys publicly snatching random pedestrians before launching tear gas. Also, they shot a lady in the face
Vance marvels at how much more “chaotic” operations have been here compared to even LA and Chicago, “It is unique to this city. What is it about Minneapolis that it has become so chaotic?”
Sir, maybe it is that you shot a woman in the face.”

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.
