Wherever the invaders appear, so do citizens with whistles and phone cameras, jeering them and telling them to go away. Thousands of residents have attended protests and vigils, joined support groups, delivered food to those afraid to leave their homes, gathered outside schools to protect their children.

As horrifying as it is to watch our government’s brutality and cruelty in the street of Minneapolis, it is even more inspiring to see good people driving armed goons out of their neighborhoods, standing up for each other, expressing their humanity, and refusing to give up their liberty without a fight.

Resistance is growing even as the federal occupation appears to be focusing less on immigration enforcement and more on trying to intimidate observers, protesters, and political opponents.

The people of Minneapolis have given us hope.
