"We all owe a debt of gratitude to the resilient and principled stance of the people of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota who have remained undeterred. They have fought for their neighbors and for themselves. They have stood in proud defense of their city, and their right to peacefully protest. The organizers on the ground have been extraordinary."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"I’ve been pepper sprayed and tear-gassed three times now. I carry a gas mask around with me. I’ve been shoved, threatened, insulted by ICE while wearing my clergy collar, as a white woman. Our neighbors are in hiding -- plenty of whom have a legal right to be in the country, but that doesn’t matter to ICE. They are detaining those with legal status, even Native Americans."
