“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

The name of the largest dem fundraising NGO that isn't just a payment processor, "Move On", is literally named after telling people to "Move On" from Bill Clinton's sexual assault accusations, it started as an email chain determined to ignore 'the drama'.
“The difference is we don’t protect Bill Clinton!”
We have literally known he’s a repeat sexual predator for decades and he still does the keynote at DNC events. Bullshit. Both parties defend predators. Both parties ELEVATE predators.

Everyone contributes to the movement in the ways they see fit. Some get teargassed and shot with rubber bullets by rampaging cops, others offer notes online re: how the people getting gassed/shot might seem less deserving of getting gassed/shot to the general public. It's a coalition.

you had a supermajority in congress and complete control of the government and you pushed for romneycare instead of single-payer and now we won’t even get to keep that because you wouldn’t prosecute bush and cheney and show republicans that consequences exist for even the highest office in the land
Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

As long as Schumer remains leader, we have to assume this is true. Every Dem senator bears responsibility.
Chuck Schumer: I think I have the overwhelming support of my caucus and so many of the members thanked me and said you did what you thought was courageous, and we respect it. I think my caucus and I are in sync and everyone knew what I was doing and respected it.

Klobuchar voted for Brooke Rollins as head of the USDA despite her having no qualifications in agriculture. Rollins just eliminated $1 billion for farmers to get local crops to schools and food banks.

My senator, Adam Schiff, has voted to confirm five members of Trump’s cabinet. There was no strategic rationale for doing so. California is a safe Dem state and he has six years before he’s up for re-election. There’s simply no plausible explanation beyond the fact that he supports Trump’s agenda.
