Thank you to everyone organizing in Charlotte. As we saw in Chicago, you can send them packing, and we know similar efforts are already underway in Charlotte. In Chicago, neighborhood groups held “Know Your Rights” trainings so residents understood what to do if ICE appeared.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Big demonstrations are inspirational, but they alone can't overthrow a dictator.
That takes mass noncooperation & interventions like strikes, boycotts, tax resistance, occupations, parallel government, etc. to pull down the pillars of support that empower a regime.
