Virtue signaling is good and we should do a hell of a lot more of it. It's literally signaling the values of your society to other members of that society and young people don't just magically have values as some innate feature within them. They're given to them through osmosis by those they watch.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

ICE Agents need to be completely shut out of the communities they are trying to invade. Stores have the right to deny service to fascist federal invaders, and they should exercise it.

ICE agents destroy the restaurant and steal food and supplies from Emiliano’s Mexican Restaurant in Pittsburg, PA while carrying out a raid.
These thugs think they are beyond the law.
Pay attention to the escalation of brazenness, the time to address it and stop it is now!

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.
