There's a certain strain of "I was able to create myself into a demigod through my own hard work" that seems easy to turn into the kind of individualistic exceptionalism that makes your politics toxic.

Not that we don’t protest too — we do — but Renee Good and Alex Pretti (and those who witnessed and documented their executions) were legally observing ICE kidnappings and alerting their neighbors to ICE presence. It’s not a protest, it’s a public service. It’s how we’re protecting our neighbors.

A lot of the media has messed up in describing all of these folks who are observing as protesters, they’re neighbors who quickly come out of their homes to document ICE presence knowing that their privilege is the only thing possibly standing in the way of a neighbor being disappeared or brutalized.

I've never seen a population more united. 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.

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.

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 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.

Definitely doesn’t exactly know where to go, but played super heads up, positive on some tip outs and loose balls

Yeah, I’ve been trying to imagine what any of them will say tonight when interviewed. Hoping to be surprised! Would’ve been another great time for NAW’s thoughtfulness.

I will say that they pretreated really well the other night - the lanes were snow-free for a long time yesterday.

We’re on a snow emergency route and they are just had not been plowing as much, as often, or as far to the edges this year.

I am ever surprised by the response to Acolyte. I came to it knowing almost nothing, thoroughly enjoyed it, went looking for news of S2, and was amazed at how differently I experienced it from most.

I like Great Divide guy for being a chromatic lantern too.

Big Short is realllly good. ‘Subprime‘ is the best I got.

That is *extremely* in our neck of the woods; it has been a real treat walking the dog lately.
