An underappreciated point which I think got forgotten from older discourse is that one of the primary reasons ice needs to be shut down and abolished is that they are indistinguishable from random vigilantes.
And that is why now we must all act to protect people.

when you are pressing the advantage you need to make your demands things that can be accomplished *now*
policy moves too slow for these sorts of moments. the momentum will be lost before anything can pass Congress even in the most optimistic of timelines.

Secondly, NYC used to famously not call snow days. From 1990-2000 NYC public schools had a total of TWO snow days IIRC. Both for the Blizzard of 96 which dumped like 20 inches of snow in 24 hours

statistically speaking (and based off the articles) it is a near certainty that thousands of people currently patrolling the streets in Minnesota are people who did not immediately believe the warnings of the left 10 years ago. I see very little criticism of *them* on here
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

Any other time, filming government brutality becomes “obstructing law enforcement” which means you have the right to die.
