    Your ignorance is showing.

    See, I live in Minneapolis. I was a rapid responder. I attended Renee’s vigil. I’m a member of multiple groups and participated in the direct democracy which planned the Jan 23rd and May 1st strikes. I’m one of the anarchist “terrorists” Trump wants to crack down on.

    Rapid response groups were forming in November as ICE presence was ramping up pre Metro Surge. By the time I was a rapid responder, my hyperlocal neighborhood chat had over 3000 people in it, and that was weeks before Renee’s murder. Renee was a rapid responder, murdered in cold blood for resisting fascists. Alex was an average citizen, simply trying to help a neighbor and deescalate the situation. We prevented abductions. We scared the pants off of the Trump administration, which is why they drew down. We’re still resisting to this day until ICE is abolished. During the crisis, people travelled to Minneapolis to learn how we were resisting. Now that we’re no longer in crisis mode, people are traveling to every major city in the country to teach people how we did it.

    Edit: as for fighting billionaires, our movement officially adopted the slogan “No ICE, No War, No Billionaires”. Our general strike in January was so effective that basically every major corporation in Minnesota signed a letter to the president to draw down.
