Black people leading the #MinneapolisUprising aren't just fighting for Black lives. The are resisting white nationalism, the militarized police state the empowers it, and the indifference of a political system that has sacrificed 100K mostly poor and working people to #COVID19

While fascist forces gather, tote guns to state buildings, empowered to do so by every branch of government, it is Black, Brown, immigrant, poor, working communities who are most threatened by this violence, and who are organizing to defend us all from it. #MinneapolisUprising

The hammer is about to come down hard on Black communities & organizers. We will each have to decide whether we stand with Black protesters--REGARDLESS of the tactics they employ--or if we stand with fascism, the police state, and the erosion of human rights. #MinneapolisUprising

If you claimed to be part of the resistance before, you are about to be tested on what that commitment means, what it actually looks like in practice. #MinneapolisUprising #BlackLivesMatter #DefundPolice

Don't defame the very people who are demonstrating what real resistance to the rise of fascism looks like. Defend the Black communities who are defending you. And take a page out of our book. #MinneapolisUprising #DefundPolice #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
