when it’s 20° out and you’re blowing your whistle for all you’re worth and trying to document the license plates of the three vehicles assigned to abduct one terrified person while six large, armed, masked agents throw him on the ground and six others point chemical weapons at you, it changes you
if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.
everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

"We tried to tell y'all"– Black woman proverb
Enough with the “this is not who we are 😢 “
Summarily executing people during traffic stops is as American as apple pie.
It just doesn’t usually happen to white people.

Trans ppl constitute “a group obsessed with its own victimhood.” I came across this phrase recently when I examined the language of contempt regularly deployed by bigoted publications and how it became mainstream.

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

The entire legal fiction of "as if born to" needs to be completely dismantled. You don't need to pretend you gave birth to or fathered a child to be their parent and they definitely should not have to pretend you did.

i’m well past the point where continuing to watch the flood of clips being posted from Minneapolis does no good for anyone and achieves nothing for myself other than masochism

I'm in harmony with a lot of folks I disagree with. If they say something I disagree with, they can still be my homie based on overall vibes. I don't only roll with people if I stand by 100% of what they say. The Baldwin quote on how you can be in community unless the disagreement's fundamental.

Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.
