[DATA EXPUNGED]

Download signal if you haven't already. Pick a resistance pseudonym. Make a proton email that has no indicators to your real name. Start buying and printing whistles and whistle zines.

Organize your school patrols and foot patrols NOW. Talk to your community and your mercados and your Hmong and Somali grocery stores, ask them what support they need. Get "ICE are not welcome here" signage for businesses and homes. Familiarize yourself with the difference between an administrative warrant and a judicial warrant.

Learn how to take down a SALUTE report. PRACTICE salute reports. Learn, memorize, and embody radio etiquette for rapid response work.

Pick your lane: rapid response or mutual aid-- you can't do both, because rapid response often puts you in direct contact with ICE. They've been taking down plate numbers and leading responders back to their own homes here in the Twin Cities.

Remember that being under siege is a marathon, not a race. Try to remember that while your neighbors are being kidnapped in their underwear, from their own homes.

Meet your neighbors. Attend your city council meetings and demand separation ordinances NOW. Tell your congress people and representatives not to give ICE more money.

Prepare yourself to see high school children being stopped and harassed. 5 year olds being used as bait for their mothers. Old men being dragged out of their houses in underwear and Crocs simply because all of them are not white.

Be flexible, be ready to pivot on a dime as situations change. Be ready to be paranoid. Be ready to be distrusting of every Texas, New York, California, or Illinois license plate. Be ready to be suspicious of EVERY out of state license plate. Dark sedans and SUVs with extremely illegally tinted windows. Unreadable or missing plates.

They say that at the threshold, when life veers toward death, that the story of one’s life unfolds before one’s eyes. The human brain stores memory we do not fully understand, but the memory of trees is clear. The whole history of each tree is written in the rings. Where the trunk has snapped on the fallen fir, the break is clean and sharp. My thumbnail moves from ridge to ridge, counting off the seasons. Here a wide ring when rains were plentiful, and then three more to mark the years of drought. This distorted black wave is a memory of fire, the thin red band—a year of bark beetles. Fires, windstorms, times of plenty, and times of poor are written here, from the wide rings of youth to the slowing growth of old age. Does the tree hold some memory of the bear that slept beneath it? It does. Not in a visible ring, but in the body of the cells. Every exhalation of that bear, or the chattering squirrel—or the kneeling scientist with a clipboard—released carbon dioxide into the misty air. Which was absorbed by the open stomates of the fir needle, where it became a building block for the cells my fingers run across. The log itself is breathing. The carbon dioxide emanating from the microbes in the log is almost instantly absorbed by the pellucid leaves of mosses, who are interlaced with fungi that only moments ago exhaled that same carbon from the log. It’s a dizzying circle of inhale and exhale, reciprocity between living and dead.
