Hey guys, Sarah Longwell here, publisher of the Bullwork,

Tim, JVL, and I, even our boy Sam,

we were all out in Minneapolis not that long ago.

And one of the things that I wanted to say,

there's a video on the back here of us hanging out

with a lot of the protesters there,

down at the Whipple building.

It was really important for us to go, meant a lot to us.

But one of the things we did, we did two shows.

Both of them were sold out, the first one sold out so fast

that we ended up adding a second one.

But, you know, we were able to go down there

and donate all the proceeds of those two sold out shows

to second harvest, which is a food pantry

that's now turned into a food delivery.

There in Minneapolis.

And the reason that we were able to do that

is because people like you subscribe to Bullwork Plus.

It's the kind of thing that allows us to go on these trips,

go into the community, to do these shows

and give the proceeds away.

So, go become a Bullwork Plus member, subscribe, ride with us,

help support the work that we're doing.

We really appreciate it, and here's the video.

Hey guys, we are out here in front of the Whipple building

in Minneapolis.

We came down to see the bird dogs

and the people who've been down here all the time,

like standing in the cold, I'll tell you,

I cannot, it is not even that cold

compared to what it has been for these people the whole time.

They come out here every day, and they protest, they watch

because they're releasing people out of these buildings

without their coats, without their cell phones,

they make sure they get food, water, coats,

they're doing everything, it's incredible.

This building is the Shep Henry Whipple building.

Whipple was a guy who actually, ironically,

back in the 1800s, was very supportive of indigenous rights.

So, it's incredibly ironic that this building is here,

this is on the side of a concentration camp,

and now it's the site of the Regional Detention Center.

So, it's just layers upon layers of injustice, cruelty,

and integrity.

This is the major detention center for the region,

not just Minnesota, when they take someone in,

completely lawlessly, who is a completely legal citizen

and sometimes they just take people into intimidate,

they'll release them, and they'll purposely release them

without their phone, without their jackets.

We heard of some kids that they let go just last night

in the snow with no winter coats, nothing.

And then when people organized to be posted over here

to have coats and supplies, they started dropping people

in the woods away from anybody so that they wouldn't be able

to get the assistance that they need.

I mean, they do everything that they do is calculatedly cruel.

It feels like the activity here hasn't really dropped

as much as it seems like it has in the news.

That's what everybody's saying.

Yeah, but one point is everybody here has been trying

to emphasize that the national news about,

oh, home and says they're pulling out and it's over.

That does not fit with the reality on the ground.

There's some shifting to the suburbs,

exerbs, and rural areas, but the overall number of vehicles

and ice fields coming in and out has not diminished noticeably

at all.

And to anybody who doesn't really understand,

the best analogy that we have in America

for what's going on is the underground railroad.

And you have people organizing to help people who are

in hiding from their own government,

from the people who run the country from the regime

and attempts to get food to them in their homes,

have doulas show up to deliver babies for women

who can't leave where they are and go to hospital

because the hospitals are being watched by the mass

agents of the state.

That's the America they have in the aftertaste right now.

They are definitely not winding down.

We've seen just this week, six or seven truckloads

of brand new vehicles come in.

They're also changing tactics.

They're putting lift and uber stickers on their vehicles.

They're putting pride stickers on their vehicles.

Anti-ice stickers.

So just to confuse the crowds and confuse the people

so they can't be observed and blend in more.

They're also wearing Minnesota gear.

They're definitely not winding down.

I was talking to Cindy and you said,

you're a Monday to Friday girly.

So you've been out here for a while.

I have.

But the one thing that you were telling me

that I just want to talk about is like,

you get a sense being out here for that long

of like how much action is coming in and out

of the Whipple building.

And like you're saying to me that it hasn't really gone

down that much despite them claiming

that they are doing less.

So what's your sense for that?

I have to say after homens announcement on that Sunday,

I thought for the first two days, I thought, again,

anecdotally, I don't have any quantitative info.

I thought it was slowing down.

But since last Wednesday, they're here.

Would you agree that it has just been about the same?

Yep.

It's any stream, it's any stream, but it does not seem

like there has been a reduction.

It doesn't.

And so when they're going in and out,

they have people detained sometimes.

Sometimes they're just meeting in there.

Like what's our sense for what's happening?

Do we know?

Detain.

From what to do, tell them what you sound like.

Here's something I want that I've noticed too,

because we all thought they were leaving.

Yeah.

They are getting more bold in their response to us.

We are seeing a lot of,

an expert have shot at us.

Okay, we are, yes, some of us are doing the fingers,

but we have a first amendment.

They're supposed to be the professional.

Yeah, they work for us, actually.

We can't, we can't flip them off.

They can't flip us off.

Do you know what I'm saying, though?

Yeah, I do.

So I have seen a more boldness being called

the really bad R word that I don't want to say

that's really out in social media.

I'm okay with that.

They were calling you that?

They were calling all of us up.

Yeah.

They take the time to stop their car,

rode on their windows and tell us that and that.

That we're weirdos and that R word,

we're, that is different.

I didn't see a lot of that before.

No.

Yeah.

So we, it is.

I know we're definitely getting to them,

because yeah, we can see, you know,

like what you were saying.

And we see a lot of, you know,

sweating them through frustrated and stuff like that.

So yeah.

Yeah, definitely.

So we're getting to them.

So how, so you guys been doing this

for every day for how long?

Since Alex and Renee time.

That's been, but there's other people

that have been here way before.

I'm an Alec since, like,

I've only been here for about four weeks, so.

Yeah.

Man, you got to be chilly.

No, we, we live here, Tim.

Yeah.

We are, we are, look at us.

I'm cold.

Holy prepared for this.

Okay.

Well, my babies are cold.

We good, we good, Tim.

You're not from here.

I'm freezing for righteousness.

Yeah.

You know, I'm a pastor, so, you know,

that's one of the main things that empowered me

to come out here to, you know,

standing to get from my neighbor number one.

And number two, I can identify with that

as a minority in this country,

what it's like to be profile.

What, what do you feel like you've witnessed?

I feel like I've witnessed grit.

Men assaulting, showing up for each other.

I feel like I've also witnessed horror and tear.

Me being from an airman area in West Baltimore,

you being from DC, you know, in the city Baltimore,

it's like just seeing it happen to people

in different ways up here.

It's just been horrific for me.

And I just, what I believe as a pastor,

I wouldn't be able to show up on Sunday and preach it

if I didn't also live it.

So, yeah.

We want to be filmed because we want the next generations

to know that we are the people that stood up.

Yeah.

Our neighbors, it said, you know, this is not okay.

We are not going to hide in our houses.

They have both witnessed what sounds like unbelievable cruelty

and some real horrible stuff out here,

but they also seem like incredibly inspired by each other

and committed to each other

and what they're doing for each other.

And, you know, obviously we came down here to do the shows

and show up and feel supportive,

but like, this is different than that.

This is like, this is, and the emphasis on,

they say, you know, the protesters get sort of the media attention,

but that this stuff that JVL is talking about,

they all really try to emphasize

how much they're doing in terms of getting food to people,

getting close to people,

just the way the communities rallying around

to each other's like, incredible to watch.

They also have some choice words for the icecobs

that come by, and that's nice too.

I like that.

That's good, they deserve it.
