Attorney in #SanFrancisco explains how community mobilizations against ICE block deportations.

"When you ask what can you do, this is exactly what you can do. Organize...show up and scare ICE away. Actions like these literally save lives. Because of their action today, ICE didn't show up."

When they say ​“this is a Mexican riot,” or ​“these students are like little kids going out and doing student activism,” what they’re doing is distracting you from the fact that it’s a class struggle and a struggle of wealth, of extraction and exploitation, and fighting against that.

There's a difference between peace and liberation... You can have injustice and have peace... so peace isn't the answer, liberation is the answer... That's the white man's word, "peace." Liberation is our word.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Really puts it into context, when you realize the 'activists' they're grabbing aren't just random political activists. They're UNION member activists. Labor activists.

You can always follow it back to money&power......
Feel free to tag me on anything more you see about this. 👇
10 national unions repping 3 million members demand the release of abducted immigrant workers and call for employers and university admins to refuse to cooperate and elected officials to “find their spines.”

This is the way.
