"The assault on freedom and civil liberties is open, lurid, and impossible to deny. While our institutions and our elites have failed us, ordinary Americans are rising to the occasion. If Minneapolis is a laboratory of democratic destruction, it has also become a laboratory of civil resistance — organized civil resistance, of a kind we haven’t seen since the civil rights movement."

"When ICE is on the rampage, crowds of brave Americans, summoned by texts and whistles, quickly gather to stand against the masked men with guns. As the outrage grows, people of common decency — like the federal prosecutors in Minnesota who chose to resign rather than pervert justice by going after Renee Nicole Good’s wife — are taking a stand.
So what’s happening now is both horrifying and inspiring."

"I think that they've been shocked that in Minneapolis and in other places in Minnesota and in Chicago and other places, the people they just assume are with them, white Americans, a lot of them are like, yeah, no, you can't arrest my neighbor."

"Yeah, no, no, I'm not down with you grabbing the guy who works with me at the restaurant and out of the kitchen and dragging him out or dragging him out of Home Depot. I think they've been surprised at the pushback they're getting from people they presume should be with them should be also fearful of Somali immigrants and fearful of brown people. And they're like, yeah, no, I'm not down with it."

"Now they have turned the eye of Sauron even on white women, because these white women are like, I'm going to use my privilege to speak back to the police like Renee Nicole Good did. And they're like, OK, we'll shoot you in the face in order to shut white America down. That's what it feels like to me. They want white America to know if you side with these brown and black immigrants, we're coming for you, too."
