Solnit offers a roundup of accounts of resistance, including the following from Will McGrath:
"What they don’t often tell you is how beautiful the resistance can be. In the evening, on the day that Alex Pretti, an I.C.U. nurse, was shot to death by federal agents in front of Glam Doll Donuts, my wife and I drove through Minneapolis."

"There were candlelight vigils on nearly every corner we passed, some corners with four or five people cupping tiny flames, some corners with 50 neighbors milling about, communing, singing, stoking a firepit hauled to the sidewalk, lighting up the little Weber grill, just hanging out in the frozen dark."
The gift article from Solnit doesn't open for me: I used archive.ph.

"Even Olympic athletes spoke up against the Administration's policies this week ("I feel heartbroken about what's happening in the United States," said freestyle skier Chris Lillis at an Olympics press conference. 'I think as a country we need to focus on respecting everybody's rights.' So did a lot of other people. There's just so much going on, some of it encouraging."

Republicans' favorite line now is that "Nobody knows whether they have criminal records." Republicans are liars.

#Marine Detained in #Minneapolis Says Feds Copied His Phone Without a Warrant
By Austin Campbell, February 12, 2026
"At first, #StevenSaari said, federal #immigration agents seemed to think he was one of them.
"Saari, a Marine Corps combat veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, went to the scene of #AlexPretti’s killing in #Minneapolis less than an hour after federal agents fired the fatal shots. He was wearing his Marine camouflage and carrying a lawfully owned 9mm Glock handgun on his right hip, as he does every day, he told The Intercept. Agents on the scene 'thought I was undercover,' Saari said. 'They kept asking what agency I was with.'
"When Saari told them he was not with any agency, their demeanor shifted. Federal immigration agents soon aimed M4-style rifles at his head, footage reviewed by The Intercept shows, their fingers on the trigger less than a minute’s walk away from where Pretti was killed.
'More and more #BorderPatrol and ICE agents gathered around me,' Saari said. 'Then they moved in with rifles and handguns drawn.'
"The encounter raises questions about how federal agents assessed threats, used force, and made arrest decisions in the immediate aftermath of Pretti’s killing. In Saari’s case, he and his attorney told The Intercept, federal agents took scans and samples of his biometric data and made a copy of his phone — without obtaining a warrant."

#AlexPretti broke a rib in confrontation with federal agents a week before death https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/27/us/alex-pretti-protesters-minneapolis-invs
"about a week before his death, he suffered a broken rib when a group of federal officers tackled him while he was protesting their attempt to detain other individuals."
In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said that “DHS law enforcement has no record of this incident.”
It sure looks like they knew who he was, but don't want to reveal it was an #ICE #execution
