It can be a hard pill to swallow but you have to accept that while you will prevail in this struggle, you may not be there to witness it.
Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win

we’re bringing back covid era instruction, which everyone involved fucking hated, but now the threat to public health is stephen miller’s baby snatching squad
Bro, they are closing schools because teachers need time to make virtual options for non-white students because lawless federal paramilitaries are terrorizing them.
Annnnnddddd St Paul schools are closing next week for 2 days to prepare for virtual learning options.

plato’s instructor socrates, in his self defense speech that led to his execution, explicitly recognizes our universal and shared basic humanity, regardless of where you’re from. he also engaged in civil disobedience against inhumane government policy. socrates died in defense of the social contract
we've sort of reached the platonic ideal of the paradox of tolerance here. they've repudiated the social contract, thus it definitionally no longer protects them or binds you vis-a-vis them
If you won't bring severe consequences for these relentless crimes against humanity, if you won't even consider it, if you won't even try then what is the point of you? Not just as a politician; as a human being.
