If your govt is eroding your freedoms and selling your country for parts to the highest bidder, you’re in an autocratic environment.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

if your govt is openly hostile to your peace of mind and is actively seeking to enslave its population …while building prison camps and abusing its power in a host of ways…

you are in an autocratic environment.

We are in the middle of it. our silence will not save us.

we must unite.

it’s going to be the metaphorical (and literal for some) fight of our generation.

before ours were world wars, vietnam…

our challenge is saving democracy.

…if we can keep it.

we can if we try.

Canada's Charlie Angus on his experience:

"the greatest strength ordinary people have is their goodwill & decency. When the police showed up to break [our] blockade, we called for people across the region to come celebrate Thanksgiving dinner with us."

A Thanksgiving of Resistance

Every year at this time as I watch the yellow leaves being blown off the trees and the cold wind of October tingling the air, I’m reminded of a decision that changed my life.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

Isn’t there something about kidnapping and crossing state lines with the victim, that is really, really, bad? I don’t care if they’re cops or ICE, that is a terrible crime!

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Will safe search requirements also filter out sex ed and LGBTQI+ info tho? Because that would cause harm.

Why shouldn’t young people know what correct human anatomy looks like and how it functions? The things they need to know isn’t two heads misplaced as click bait
