Part of the issue is that those most actively protesting and leading mutual aid are women and gender non-conforming people. Both groups are illegible to many as protesters. This helps explain the invisibilization of current protests and resistance.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.

Similar to whenever there's a plane crash, I see people scared about riding trains. A reminder that the reason why there's so much noise and spectacle about this accident it's because it's exceedingly rare. Traveling by train is safer than doing so by car, by quite a margin.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Donald Trump rightly threatened the Iranian Regime over civilian safety and then lied and defended illegally killing a civilian.
We absolutely should defend civilians from being illegally killed by their governments. Including ours.
