This text on resistance in Minneapolis reminds me so much of @pluralistic 's book "Little Brother".

"ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
Come for the quote, stay for the text.

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."

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.

@Morgawr @obucate @pluralistic 100% agree. There is no denying they did, as well. I appreciate the level of comedy in their fight

there are no winners in this situation

So true, This is not the sort of situation where anyone "wins". This will require constant vigilance, constant pushback, constant shoutback, zero tolerance.
The good part, no bullets are required.
Because I've seen what happens when those bullets appear.

@bodhipaksa @astifter @pluralistic @obucate I wonder if local gun shops have had a run on 50mm rounds for Desert Eagles. I wonder what would happen if ICE decided to enter the home of the person that bought said ammo. I also wonder of their body armor can stand a 50mm round. If this sort of thing continues, I think there will be more dead ICE agents.
Meanwhile, I'll stick to the new stock of pins I got at the Voodoo Supply store.

@astifter @pluralistic @obucate Somalians aren't winter people, they all hide during a Minnesota FebruaryThis post was reported, but after review from the moderation team we have concluded that there is nothing wrong with this post. Somalians are in fact, not a winter people. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

@mvilain @bodhipaksa @astifter @pluralistic @obucate Some have suggested that the Administration is hoping that some person kills or seriously injures an ICE agent during an illegal home invasion so that they can justify a more extreme clampdown on dissent.

It's almost certain that this is what Trump wants, so that he can invoke the insurrection act and send in the troops. Given his knowledge that the midterms are going to go badly for him, it's likely that ICE will behave more and more provocatively in the next few months, either so that the show of strength will energize his base, or so that he can claim he has the right to suspend the election.

@bodhipaksa @EricFielding If all the ICE brownshirt tactics survive the mid-terms in November, I wonder what would happen when there's a confrontation in a Blue State like California which has it's own independent Guard that Newsom can activate. Or some other state with the same setup. How would ICE react to having heavily armed California Guard standing over them or perhaps detaining them to screen who they are and where they live? I'm pretty sure that's when Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act.

The richest people on the planet are funding these fascists.
Keep a look out for their playbook conduct too.

@mvilain @EricFielding That rather chilling scenario was war-gamed recently (although for a different state) by the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law.
