The way to beat the siren song of divide in order to conquer is to narrate the dog whistle. Authoritarians have a single narrative - your pain is because of "those people." We beat that but being clear - your pain is because of this regime of by and for the billionaires.
🔥REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “How rich @KristiNoem says showing up with a legal firearm is grounds for execution when they support Rittenhouse & pardon protestors… we cannot go down this road, countryman against countryman… they’re trying to keep us divided so they can line their own pockets.”

Join the Post-it Note Protest Campaign. If it is too cold, create protest signs on Post-it Notes. Stick them up wherever you go, stores, coffee shops, libraries, public bathrooms, drinking fountains, etc. Reach out to family and friends and encourage them to do the same.

"Immigration policy" is rules governing movement of people across border, how people can change status. Reasonable people can disagree on this.
Targeting & terrorizing, abducting & disappearing, murdering & beating people are crimes against humanity. "Immigration policy/enforcement" it ain't.

Very useful primer by The Brennan Center, the go to resource for democracy defenders. “troops deployed under the Insurrection Act may not violate individuals’ constitutional rights. They may not, for example, search a person’s home without a warrant.”

The Insurrection Act, Explained
The vague and rarely used law gives the president broad power to deploy the military domestically — but it’s not a blank check.

The purpose of any messaging is to move people toward what we need them to believe & do. We need people to see ICE accurately - as the gestapo, a criminal enterprise destroying us from within. That's why any reference to "reform" or "train" goes against our material & narrative goal.

America has always been an argument. An argument between a wealthy white few ready to kill or control the rest to seize more money & power and the bravest possible people determined to make the promise of life, liberty & yes happiness apply to all, no exceptions.
On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.
