Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

Pam Bondi's tweets of mug shots of arrested people is itself an impeachable offense, a clear violation of their fourth amendment rights, and I hope they all sue the federal government and her and get millions.
This is, like much Trump garbage, obscene.
I refuse to become numb to the obsenities.

now - especially now - a reminder that we are going to win. and this is why
I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up
so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

All of these people getting abducted and shot are our neighbors. All of them.
If you are moved by what’s happening in Minnesota, you can already bring their actions closer to home. They are all our neighbors.

Don’t watch the video. It was a murder, an execution. You do not need to watch it, it won’t help anyone. Warrants should be issued today if the government up there is anything other than a dead letter.

What ICE/BP is doing to Minneapolis is awful.
And it's taking everything they have. By population, Minneapolis is America's 45th largest city.
Keep both in mind at once: the regime's desire for authoritarian domination is bottomless, and they'll act on it, but their capacity to do so is limited.
