And it's impossible for me not to think of how tuned the Minneapolis resistance has been to their particular situation, and how that's part of their success story.
I see a lot of discourse around what is useful and what is not right now, in terms of resistance in the US. What is symbolic or performative (ugh) and what is authentic or meaningful or effective.
And I feel like a lot of that overlooks how radically different all of our places and our communities and our contexts are, in the US. It overlooks the fact that we are all now trying to figure out how to best respond to a range of tactics from the administration that is, quite intentionally, unpredictable and overwhelming.
If nothing else, this book already has me thinking about resistance a bit differently. As something that really has to be tuned to a particular time and place.
Can't wait to keep reading and learning.
