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.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some prot…skywriter.blue

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."

She's saying: The public do not support ICE's actions. Resistance is going to escalate. Eventually Trump and the forces of fascism will be defeated. I hope she's right.
No one was talking in terms of "winners."

in reply to Bodhipaksa • • •@bodhipaksa @astifter 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.

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.

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

The Veruka Strategy -- make it expensive for billionaires to fund a fascist movement.
"The through‑line is simple: every new front the regime opens is another bill it has to pay-- with money, infrastructure, legitimacy, & people.
The most effective counter‑strategy is to make compliance more expensive than resistance for everyone feeding this machine: ...”
... help starve a project that is now threatening almost everyone, everywhere."
