had some DMs with a
longtime anarchist in Minneapolis
won't screencap but impressions:
- extremely spooked
- feels like things are out of control, different than past demonstrations
- last night felt like an invasion
- feels like minneapolis is a stage for something bigger

"stage for something bigger" in the sense of "there are way more actors at work here than one usually sees in cop vs anarchist conflicts" https://twitter.com/stanGorbachev2/status/1266832672061632513 …

if i were to list potential actors off the top of my head - local leftists - out of state leftists - other out of state leftists (so many groups) - local underclass - private right wing agents provacateurs - police APs - foreign agents these are not remotely mutually exclusive
