This text on resistance in Minneapolis reminds me so much of @pluralistic 's book "Little Brother". It shows that groups need not be powerless victims, even when facing evil.

@obucate @pluralistic I have even greater respect for Minnesotans, now.They aren't going to take this shit lying down. I don't think we've seen a resistance like this in a while, in the US.
@mrmoore @obucate @pluralistic Portland put up a good fight. ✊
"ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
Come for the quote, stay for the text.

@astifter @pluralistic @obucate “If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.”

This article was good to read, especially this part:
"I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is."
