100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.
I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.

Scanning faces. Building databases. Fascism is here. 🇺🇸

And all the “tyranny” “don’t tread on me folks” are silent. Turns out they meant “tread on them” 🤷🏼

Clear and informative little diagram here:
Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as “martial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:

"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".

"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

This novel is inspired by a real woman who was slandered and hounded in the 1860s for helping her sisters in desperate straits. How she triumphed. "Dickensian." "A page-turner." #MyNotoriousLife @scribnerbooks.bsky.social

I know we’re all devastated by the news out of Minnesota, where ICE executed a woman in broad daylight. It was this picture of Renee Nicole Good’s glove compartment—filled with stuffed animals—that put me over the edge.
