To be clear, we're not "protesting" here in Minneapolis. We're resisting an occupation.

I should have said Minnesota. It's state-wide.

"Every single of one them has had abductions happen on their block, to their neighbors, right in front of them. Their kids have seen their classrooms empty out, remote school instituted like there's another plague. They all know the smell of tear gas, the burn of pepper in the air. One described the number of abandoned cars, windows smashed. Another described a neighbor screaming out. All of them talk of helicopters, the endless helicopters."

"They have come to the Twin Cities with 2000, 3000 troops & the people of #Minneapolis St Paul have answered back with tens of thousands more. The call for help goes out, and it gets answered by so many... Everywhere you look there are people—regular-ass people like you, like me—standing up to literal troops, everyone knowing full well how it could go and doing it anyway.

Nobody should have to do this.

But we do it."

Text from article:
And so it's just us. We are all we have.

But we're doing it. They have come to the Twin Cities with 2000, 3000 troops and the people of Minneapolis St Paul have answered back with tens of thousands more. The call for help goes out, and it gets answered by so many. The people lining up to help support those in Minnesota is legion. Everywhere you look there are people—regular-ass people like you, like me—standing up to literal troops, everyone knowing full well how it could go and doing it anyway.

Nobody should have to do this.

But we do it.

It seems impossible to imagine right now, but eventually the feds will leave the Twin Cities the same way they did Chicago: suddenly and surprisingly (and also not completely). The surge will end, the tide will go out, and the aftermath will linger for a long, long time.

And then the goons will go elsewhere.

Maybe to your town. Maybe back to mine. We'll be ready. We will take what we learned in Minneapolis the same way we took what we learned in Chicago, and apply it to the next place. To your place. To mine.

The time to organize for that is right now. Talk to friends, talk to family, have a plan.
