"A nature lover who peppers his speech with references to 'the creator,' for Sanchez Estrada one of the toughest things about being in jail was not being able to breathe fresh air or watch the sun set. He said he was immediately suspicious when jail officers told him that he was being released."
Alleged Antifa Cell Member Says He Was Accidentally Released, Turns Himself In: “I’m Not Hiding. Because I’m Innocent.”

If you have ever enjoyed or learned from a zine, would you join me in sharing or donating to this GoFundMe, for an artist who is a friend of friends and who is currently incarcerated and facing deportation related to allegedly having and moving some anarchist zines?

A clarity of thought seemed pervasive through the crowd, not from training together or even knowing each other. I think it was having a shared goal that is inherently disruptive (block ICE) that made the steps to that end collectively understood and embraced.

People refused to go easily with any order. You want us to move back? You’ll have to make us. Even the tiniest thing, like adjusting a barricade to latch into another one, was met with enthusiastic resistance. Cop pushing a barricade into people? Barricade gets pulled away from him.

Instead, demonstrators spent today jamming up operations for ICE and the NYPD.
Both were caught pretty flat footed and even when they deployed crowd control techniques, nobody really cared?? It wasn’t a surge of surprise and outrage at people being grabbed. It was a hefty “Fuck that and fuck you.”

The vibe shift today is, I think, due to the fact that New Yorkers were on the offensive instead of the defensive.
Usually with protests, demonstrators have to defend the space, defend their right to march, etc. They get beat up and pushed around and antagonized into chaos and trauma.

The right is full of grown-ass adults who are afraid of vaccines, kid's books, and anyone Twitter or OAN tells them to fear, including the entirety of NYC, and NYC is full of people who cheerfully chase federal agents out of the state and then do stunts on Citibikes; you tell ME who's going to win.
The scene now at Lafayette and Howard, diagonal to the ICE garage which activists remain camped out in front of on both sides of the building.
