Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

The alternative is all of us accepting that the government exists as a plaything for depraved sadists and people maddened by greed.

I don't see the consent of the governed lasting too long under those circumstances.

The crimes-- against law, but more importantly, against humanity-- are just too overt, too well-known, too well-publicized.

This nation is going to have to look itself in the mirror in some very difficult ways, and that process will have to be formalized.

And let's be clear all the wealthy players in every country will sell the general public to the meat grinder if it means they can buy another yacht. Your imperialism isn't going to protect you.

French Islamophobia and British xenophobia are literally in the process of shaking hands over the crimes they're going to commit in the Global South. Colonial Voltron is always ready to link up.

The reason Musk has his checkbook out in so many countries is because he knows that the bigotry you're ignoring is a welcome mat. Your governments are going to pay lip service to resistance and then hold out their hand for a cut of the spoils.
