one of the key motions of protest is that it places the adversary in zugzwang: either they abide the protest, and look weak, or attack the protest, and look cruel

Surely you mean to exempt chain gangs?
just like how California is working on passing a bill that bans ICE from becoming in-state teachers or law enforcement officers, we need to work on States banning ANYONE named in the Epstein files from serving in government.
we also need to pass bills to freeze assets and investigate.

外国人経済学者で
日本人に聞きたいですが。
１ 経済学者にとって日本の世界的に一番低いインフレ（デフレに近い）でるため、物価高てはなくて賃金低迷の方が問題である。なぜ政治家とマスコミが物価高を主張するの？賃上げを訴えるのは誰？
２ 高市総理が「責任ある財政」を訴えるが、ほとんどの人が「その責任がお金持ちと大手企業のためだけだ」と思うでしょう？

The danger and glory of youth movements: “they’re not well-prepared”. 🥰
Feels like society’s really broken down in the US in a way that’s deeply traumatic.
But also there are college students knocking on doors asking for shovels (they’re not well-prepared) and helping trapped motorists by shoveling and pushing out cars. Up to 24 of them now, wandering streets together

is the cure for male loneliness showing up early and setting up chairs?
A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.
I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

What amazes me is that Trump could decisively defeat a self-styled imperial power in war with zero American troops and less than the budget of ICE. Everyone would know he did it. Despite being a military action, he might very well get a real honor for being a peacemaker. But no.

This is good. Specialization and division of labor is good, regardless of ICE.
But the 3rd post in this thread is important too. Many tasks are invisible (even when the reason isn’t to avoid advertising to the invaders). You can’t count them, and people won’t just answer. So just do it! Help comes.

A thing that might not be clear from the outside is that while everyone here is engaged in this fight, ICE’s use of dystopian technology means that you essentially have to pick a lane between observing ICE and doing mutual aid. They are tracking observers’ cars, and taking pictures of their faces.
