#54 The Aftermath in Minneapolis, From Inside the Neighborhood

We heard the whistles, heard the screaming, watched people run, and walked toward the scene before we fully understood what was unfolding. What followed wasn’t a headline for us. it was bodies in motion, armed agents in plain clothes, flash-bangs, tear gas in the air, neighbors helping neighbors, and a day that stretched into something unreal.

In this episode, we share what we know without pretending we know more than we do: the timeline as we experienced it, what it felt like to stand face to face with armed men who looked like a militia, how quickly it escalated, how the neighborhood organized in real time, and what it’s like to go back inside your own apartment afterward.

Content notes: state violence, death, protest footage described, tear gas/chemical irritants, anxiety/fight-or-flight, harassment.
