This whole discourse is a rejection of adulthood & its discontents, a special pleading for men to be exempted from some unpleasantries like:
* No one is entitled to sex.

* It's very common for people not to get what they want.

Women are expected to put up with the above & it's not a crisis, ever.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes.

What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

I don't want to paint a rosy picture, because it's a city under siege. People are being abducted all the time. One person told me about watching 1-2 abductions a day, just in her own work following ICE.

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

The real child sex trafficking ring turned out to be the friends they made along the way.

Also, pointing out a situation sucks isn't the same as saying nothing should be done about it, quite the opposite.

And to be clear, thats not to say these efforts are worthless or people shouldn't bother, but that there's an opportunity here which can be easily wasted, especially for those who want legal accountability in the future.
