Durham public schools absolutely *teeming* this morning with parents, grandparents, and community members making students feel welcome and safe and saying Fuck ICE.
I do not regret to inform you that North Carolina is getting into #formation. We're going to make ICE regret coming south like a bunch of weak-skinned retirees.
All of our existing civic and activist networks are lighting up. This is what we build community for. We protect us.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.
