NOW: A small group of protesters briefly blockaded the entrance to the Tesla Gigafactory in Austin to demand shareholders reject a $1T pay package for the world’s richest man, Elon Musk.
The blockade dispersed after a Travis Co. Sheriff threatened to arrest protesters without any official warning.

“I have a lot of close contacts in law enforcement, and almost to a person, none of them support these actions. As a lawyer, someone who adamantly believes in the rule of law, watching it in open sight in front of my house just be completely eroded…it’s upsetting.”

to keep functioning a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities
After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.
The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

4 grounding questions [if useful at this moment]:

4. How can I be constructive?

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

If you want to pursue something, don't be discouraged by how long it may take. The time is going to go by anyway. You can either be moving toward something you want to see happen, or not.

If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

Giving the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado is a very effective trojan horse because everyone can pretend that it's a middle finger to Donald Trump when she openly supports the US doing regime change in Venezuela (which is what he also wants)

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.
