I think we need to be able to balance the reactions "this is another expression of 250 years of American imperialism" and "what do you MEAN we kidnapped the president of Venezuela and renditioned him to the US and are now claiming to run the country"
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

When I hear this, I think of the people who were in the streets in Ferguson in 2014-2015 for 375 days STRAIGHT while the national guard was called up and people were being brutalized by cops in the streets for WEEKS. Complete amnesia.
“Why aren’t you in the streets” is a slap in the face to all of those people who been in the streets since Occupy

You can do a lot locally with a dedicated group of 15 to 40 people. Regular people should be thinking at that scale rather than at the scale of thousands.

I get that everyone on Bluesky has seen the CECOT video but my question is how does the scale of its spread compare to what might have happened if it had aired on 60 Minutes?
Scanning the media, the story seems to have already disappeared. Bluesky is a specific audience.

“Folks, what they DONT want is a peaceful permitted march that has proven to not change anything. They DO WANT black bloc & fighting with the police. They don’t want you to be pacified! They want to be directly confronted, yeah! This has historically been the case. I know what I’m talking about!”
one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump
As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

By ratting on Jesse Ventura's unionization efforts, Hulk Hogan denied all of his coworkers, and generations of performers who came after him, insurance and a retirement fund, and in that, shares in responsibility for the early deaths of several other wrestlers.

We need to fundamentally appreciate those on the streets of LA are there because ICE + the fucking military took family members, neighbors + co-workers - this isn't an abstraction.
What would you do if it happened to you? How would you feel about someone crying more over a Waymo than your child?

Americans, especially white collar Americans, not understanding labor organizing is one of the greatest successes of the Reagan era. People just don’t understand solidarity and say stupid shit like “Fuck that union because I don’t like its president” instead of “join and fight!”
Just saw a lefty lawyer on here saying workers filing for a union election with UAW should vote no bc he doesn't like what Shawn Fain has said and I frankly can't imagine anything more anti-solidarity! As if people risk their livelihoods for *years* organizing for a president, rather than each other
