There were days I wondered if we would be bombed. So far the “keep calm, and resist.” Crowd is making progress, which helps keep tensions from boiling over.

What progress?

Guess you missed neighborhood checkpoint videos in Minneapolis. They were blocking streets and checking IDs to make sure people driving through lived there rather than ICE agents from out of town. Citizens have busted ICE's balls to keep citizens from being arrested. Those guys are pitiful sissy losers.

But yeah, progress is certainly hard to see sometimes.
