Half the street corners around Minneapolis have people
— from every walk of life, including republicans
— standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles,
which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that
tracks ICE vehicles
and mobilizes responders.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years.

I have never seen anything approaching this scale.

Minneapolis is not accepting what’s happening here.

ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this,
and all that did is
bring out more people,
from more walks of life.

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.

@cdarwin I watched the press conference. A handful of individuals accused of criminality arrested out of how many arrests? "I'll tell you answer; I don't know the answer" should be the ICE motto

Rapid Response Networks in the Twin Cities

The rapid response networks people organize to defend their communities have undergone a whirlwind evolution to keep up with ever-shifting ICE tactics.

@cdarwin THIS is why ICE is scared and doubling down on their attack. Fascism depends on compliance and if compliance isn't there, it has nothing to offer.
