I see people throwing themselves in front of armored feds on the streets. People pushing to get close to Broadview ICE to stop the evil horrors inside & out. Regular people are throwing themselves into the path of danger daily & their reward is to have their health care taken away by rich cowards

I know many of us are tired, scared & angry. When you can, if you can, channel that into doing what you can to help. Every day it's more clear the only ones who are going to save us ... are us.

Whenever you start to say "people should do x," it's you. You're "people." We're "people." It's just us.

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus
I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY

Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago
Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

this is what pepper spray does & now that I've experienced it, I could not be more livid that feds are still throwing this AND tear gas around willy nilly, in store parking lots, in neighborhoods. It's hard to describe how terrifying it is. A judge said "stop doing that" & they simply do not care
It was flooded into a room i was sitting in back when we trained for NBC warfare. Even with airtight suits and filters we had casualties in the medical after. This stuff makes glitter look like an annoyance.

"They want everyone to know these thugs they’ve deployed to terrorize cities are battle-hardened and impervious to pain. But in court, they're such delicate flowers that if they are, say, lightly grazed by a sandwich, they are entitled to justice because of the horrific assault they have suffered."

They're tough guys in the streets and delicate little babies in court.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

Stalingrad was 1942-43. The Wehrmacht's first horrible winter surprise was when they ground to a halt in the snows outside Moscow in late 1941. "We won't need winter kit, the whole rotten edifice will collapse as soon as we kick in the door." Famous last words.

Seriously. literal snowflakes likely unable to function (I hope) in the kind of weather & conditions we regard as typical. Outside ICE Broadview, I always see 2 big black vehicles (⬇️ from 10/3)—crosses between a jeep & tank, and I’m like, “good luck digging that out of 16 inches of snow, assholes!”

If people are in motion, and you think they could be moving differently or doing more, but instead of getting out there amongst them and trying to organize different outcomes, you complain and insult them on social media... that's not a winning plan, bro.
