These are the #Indigenous activists at the heart of the most diverse neighborhood in #Minneapolis discussing what they see happening with #ICE and the #resistance going on around them.
Worth a watch.

There is no bottom, so it's time to begin building the scaffolding to climb out of the hole.
#Resilience is an act of #Resistance

“'Abolish ICE' is no longer just a far-left slogan. God knows why Americans reelected Trump — but they clearly didn’t envision masked goons knocking down doors and disappearing people."

"Let’s go for the gold and disband the Department of Homeland Security. Spread its functions around the rest of the federal law-enforcement apparatus. And put Kristi Noem out of work. ...
The DHS is an extraneous agency, born out of tragedy and political opportunism."

"Trump and his enablers have made a grievous miscalculation about the level of support for their dictatorial tactics. A strong majority of Americans oppose what ICE is doing and how it is conducting its operations."

"Trump’s ability to bend reality to his will is the foundation of his political success. It’s how he has survived so many moments that would have ended other politicians’ careers.
But it is not working this time.
In what may be the most high-profile failure of the Trump media machine, the American people are not falling for Trump’s lies [about Renee Good's murder].'

"Ultimately it comes down to the Republican Party, the MAGA base they’ve radicalized, right wing media, and the oligarchs financing it all. They are the real problem. If Trump disappeared tomorrow, they’d be looking for someone else to carry out their fascist agenda."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
~ Paul Krugman

I've had a couple of (white, privileged) friends say that nothing can be done about authoritarianism.
They say:
"Why give out red cards if ICE will just kick down the door anyway?"
"ICE will be at polling places and they're going to steal the election."
So, I'm looking for book recommendations or other sources on community organizing. I want to combat the doomerism and future-tripping.
