- Reposted by La 🖤✊🏾They refer to Minnesota-St. Paul as a "theater" which is a military term for a geographical area of war -- the European Theater of Operations and the Pacific Theater in WW2. That's the Trump regime mindset of how it sees the nation, as theaters of war against people. Ethnic cleansing theaters.

- Reposted by La 🖤✊🏾The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
- Reposted by La 🖤✊🏾A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.
