Let’s survive this 1000-alarm fire together. Also, not to be morbid, but if you’re going to protest—get a will, health care proxy & power of attorney. If you’re unable to act, you’ll want to appoint someone you trust to act for you. (Free legal advice.)

Thanks to Anna from Sampan for including our neighbor-organized Lower Mills food pantry in this comprehensive piece about local food insecurity in Boston. This kind of local mutual aid represents something most EVERYONE can do as we navigate these trying times.
SNAP-ing Into Action!
When funding for SNAP food and nutrition help for poor and struggling families was in jeopardy, community groups came together to help.

ICE murdered Renee Good in Minneapolis. Since then, ICE arrested 4 members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. 2025 was the agency's deadliest year in decades. Here I name the 75 Corporate Democrats praising ICE. If your MOC is on this list, call them with the below script.

This is the blueprint. Pay attention. When ICE shows up, neighbors alert neighbors with whistles, horns, voices cutting through fear.

People come out of their homes. And when the community reaches critical mass, ICE is forced to retreat because occupation fails when the people refuse to disappear.

3. Mutual aid. There's going to be a TON of need in Minnesota in the near future, as the community tries to provide rent and food money for all the people who cannot safely leave their homes.

In Germany, a lot of houses have these Stolpersteines on their sidewalks or stoops. They’re a memorial to victims of the Holocaust who were ripped from that home. Some houses have a few. Other houses have many.

ICE has started going door to door in America.

in 2026,
America does not need permission
or an invitation or an event
you can just PROTEST
that's okay

"Activism is the antidote to fear"
~Jamie Raskin

Start with conviction; bring a friend, make a plan, make a habit

Say it out loud and say it often

"This is wrong"

Then,

Insist
Resist
Persist

Yep, it's a thorny question for legal minds, but I think a critical one.
I just noticed that we're so used to seeing the masked "agents" we don't even question it anymore.
It should be central and FIRST in EVERY legal endeavor surrounding ICE. No warrants, no ID, no way to tell the legitimate ones.
Question for legal minds...if ICE agents refuse to provide identification, doesn't that make it legal for citizens to act out in defense? We dont know who they really are. They refuse to provide identification. Fighting back seems beyond legal to me.

It’s amazing how brutal dictators will use every single trick in their arsenal (religion) to gaslight the people they cannot scare into submission!

The Russian priest were parroting something similar. Funny how the people making these statements aren’t personally sacrificing self/family.
