the problem is that all the commando revolutionaries want very badly to be SEEN doing commando revolutionary stuff which cuts pretty hard against commando revolutionary best practices
If you are doing things against the government that require serious operational security, you should not be going to protests at all. Non overlapping magistra really. Seriously. If you think government agents are on the prowl for you, go to ground, with all the inconveniences that implies
i genuinely think opsec schizoids believe that the point of a protest is to physically overpower cops

Wait wait wait, is this the same Boris who was sitting with current IntelligentMD chairperson Alice Jacobs when she wrote to Epstein that she wanted him to co-author a scientific study on "how vagina tastes"?
Because 4chan combined with eugenicists makes complete sense.

The solution, it was understood at the time, was to trade some liberalization on the border for more money for more enforcement, and somewhere along the line Republicans figured out they didn't need that trade to get more enforcement money. It remains the solution today.

Americans, who don't know how immigration enforcement works, think that its basically the same for immigrants as citizens, and the more DHS picks up totally innocent Americans and renditions them to fucking Guinea without a warrant the more that contradiction will be heightened

Given the volume of cases, the dearth of agents, the lack of access of timely court resolution, even in their own bubble of a judicial system with hand picked judges and aggressively pro-government jurisprudence, there's no actual way to do it like Americans think it should be done absent huge spend

The thing about all of this is that it was understood in 2012 that the current regime was unworkable and unpopular, that both actually trying to enforce it as written was impossible and even with the civil liberty-skipping procedural elements it remains too much work for DHS to actually do the job.

Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll.
And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration.
This is digging deep into Trump's base.

Like the “biology is fact” misinformation that TERFS use. Also one of the first fatalities to Covid here was a black bus driver. Black communities were disproportionately affected due to higher prevalence of frontline/key workers & underlying socio-economic disparities not because of genetics.

Nonviolent protest also requires discipline and self-control. It’s HARD. Your instinct as a person is to escalate or even fight. Part of why everyday Minnesotans are winning is that it’s very obvious that the side without any discipline, the side escalating to violence on a whim, is ICE.
