I’m a teacher and my class is reading “Number the Stars” (a book about Danish resistance to the Nazis.) The theme is how ordinary people stand up for/with each. Can anyone send me or direct me to photos of people resisting ICE? Not so much protests but things like mutual aid, patrols, etc.

Police are incapable of shame and self-reflection.
Police will NEVER be swayed by protests, slogans, chants, signs.
Effectice tactics involve adding complexity, time, and resources to their planning & operational rhythm.
Classic insurgency tactics against a superior force. Classic for a reason.

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

You can't simultaneously tell me that it's too hard to use a trans person's pronouns and then turn around and call an AI chatbot "she."
If you're giving less consideration to a human being than a fucking computer program, you're just an asshole.

The TRiiBE reporting shows the plan stacks regressive fees while refusing a modest surcharge on major corporations. The TriiBE also reports that several alders fighting the head tax have received thousands from billionaire Michael Sacks, now funding a campaign to protect corporate profits.
