Mini protests happening across the city. People are still actively out patrolling for ICE. People are still at Whipple helping those released who are being dumped without phones, warm clothes, etc. People are still delivering groceries to those sheltering in place. All while thousands are downtown.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.
Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.
Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

The last general strike in Minneapolis was in 1934.
It started in May, leading to a series of small battles between strikers and police. The two sides agreed to a contract on May 25.
Employers reneged in July, and police opened fire on protesters who flooded the streets. Two died, 67 were wounded.

The Senate is on recess this whole week.
The Senators could all be in Minneapolis right now, riding with ICE patrols, speaking out about what's happening, and standing up for what's right.
That they are not is a choice.

This *is* about suppressing effective nonviolent resistance. You can tell how well tactics work by the forcefulness of the response.

Personal Me: I don’t give a crap about how “tragic” you find our resistance, writer parachuting into town for a hot take. I also don’t love bits from pundits implying that it will basically be our fault if the Insurrection Act is invoked, etc. Knock it the fuck off and help us to the extent you can.

But the baseline is also fucking resolve and determination and a commitment to keep our community safe.

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

I joined agriculture leaders from across the state today in Mankato for the Minnesota Ag Expo. Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our economy, and we must ensure they have what they need to thrive—strong markets and stable trade policies.

They lifted the person up and sat them up in the street, and then arrested them and put them in another SUV. I shouted "we have medics, let us take care of them" and the agent in front of me went "We have medics too" and I replied "Oh like you did for Renee" and his face visibly fell.

Gender all the way down. Toxic masculinity.
"Research would tell us that most ICE agents entered into these jobs in part because they want approval, and they want to affirm their masculinity in public," said sociologist Nicole Bedera. "An ICE watch works by surrounding these people ... with disapproval."
Observing ICE agents is 'a de-escalation tactic,' sociologist says
The federal government has accused ICE watchers of breaking the law. Sociologist Nicole Bedera said ICE watchers have science behind them. She spoke with MPR News host Clay Masters.
