Evan GenestFrost bitten eyelids:
"Tactics developed by the Black Panthers and the American Indian Movement to protect their respective communities went mainstream: My friends’ moms’ Bible study group became a school patrol, walking kids to the bus to prevent any kidnappings en route; line cooks started driving their coworkers to and from shifts; local churches became food packaging sites; Indigenous groups started patrolling to protect their community from racial profiling, some coming in from Wisconsin and South Dakota to help."
"I met James, the self-appointed security guard of Good’s memorial, who told me that it was his duty as a veteran to protect and serve and by monitoring the memorial he was following his oath. A woman who’d just had knee surgery told me she felt bad that “all she could do” was send money to immigrant defense funds and mutual aid groups. At the Whipple federal building, the center of ICE operations in Minnesota, I met an older woman in a hot pink hat and matching hot pink lipstick who lifted her ski goggles to reveal frost-bitten eyelids. She’d been coming out to observe agents for twelve days straight."
