Okay another thing the Trump admin didn't plan for in Minneapolis:
Do you know how electrifying collective action with united purpose can be? Do you have any idea the heat generated by the fire that ignites in people's hearts when they look around and see all their neighbors out there with them, scared but determined?
That is not a feeling our enemies want us to learn & get used to. It's frankly addictive. Once you've felt it, you're going to want to feel it again.
A lot of people looking at Minnesota right now are fucking jealous too.
Not jealous of the brutality. Not desirous that it would come here.
But jealous of that amazing feeling of unity. People are getting hungry for that thrill. People are stunned by the beauty & power of collective resistance. We *want that* where we are.
Minneapolis's resolve strengthens all of us, & people have been shown what is possible.
They can't undo that. They can't make people unsee it.
