Description: When thousands of ICE agents descended on Minneapolis and began kidnapping people off the streets, the residents didn’t just stand by and let it all happen. Ordinary citizens like you and me spontaneously organized on Signal chats and began tracking ICE’s movements through they city. They warned their most vulnerable neighbors with whistles and car alarms and video taped arrests across the city. Friends of mine began delivering food to people too scared to leave their houses and carpooled their children to school. All of this happened in the face of ever-increasing violence from a fascist-anti-democratic state with seemingly unlimited resources to spend on harassing ordinary Americans. On today’s show I wanted to reflect on the miraculous organization of an effective citizen resistance in Minneapolis and offer hope to people in other cities who have not yet had ICE land on their doorstep. The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have supercharged the active resistance movement in across America. The lessons of Minneapolis will spread across the country. In this video I’m going to discuss how you can get involved and join the resistance more actively than just posting angry messages on social media. My guest today is Jack Jones, better known as Quadzilla. He’s an ex-army infantryman and wild land firefighter who has been organizing information about the decline of America’s democratic order and fall into totalitarianism. When I first started following him a year ago my thoughts were–oh man, this guy is extreme. He was telling Americans to arm themselves and get ready for occupation. I think that Jack was something of an oracle who saw what was happening before anyone wanted to believe he was right. Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/
