@fulanigirl @andrewstroehlein Yes! It's a good example about the power of organised resistance, and the important context that the resistance movements go way beyond what is happening in Minnesota is worth highlighting I'd add that practising organising mutual aid and building the relationships needed for neighbourhood resistance movements are urgent, regardless of if/when we live through sustained attacks by an oppressive state " a real resistance, broad and organized and overwhelmingly nonviolent, the kind of movement that emerges only under sustained attacks by an oppressive state. Tens of thousands of volunteers—at the very least—are risking their safety to defend their neighbors and their freedom... If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it “neighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme" https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/01/the-neighbors-defending-minnesota-from-ice/685769/?gift=Je3D9AQS-C17lUTOnl2W8L893jn-xkg4gA0ahaD_Ltw

@fulanigirl Without being in all of those places, it's hard to know if they all played out in a similar way. It's possible that MSP took lessons from those that came before, and all those lessons coalesced with "Minnesota Nice" to make something different. I don't think any other city got to the point of a general strike, for instance. @andrewstroehlein
