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.

Never in my most cynical dreams did I imagine so many people willing to sell out their own country for money, attention, clout, out of spite, ignorance or hate.
That will remain the most heartbreaking part of this ordeal.
America is such a beautiful idea.
We are becoming unworthy of it.

@mayor.lacity.gov www.ms.now/news/minneap... this is what we need in LA. ICE is regularly terrorizing Angelenos and violating our rights. We demand better. You can make it happen, but you are abdicating your responsibility to the people of LA. Do better.

Trump’s “mass deportation” is not deportation at all.
When people are captured without due process, that's kidnapping. When they’re sent to another country against their will, that's human trafficking. When they're put in a prison with no way to get out, that's a concentration camp.

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Here’s what you need to know about Starmer’s illiberal protest curbs: they would have killed the Labour party at birth | George Monbiot
The rights we enjoy in the UK, and the movement the PM purports to lead, were built on protest. Those rights are in dire peril, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.
She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.
