⚠️ Jamie defeated her "Domestic Terrorism" charges! Dekalb Co court acknowledged the AG's office deliberately delayed the case. Soon, the RICO will collapse. Jamie's decision to push against the charges serve as an inspiration to us all. Were we all so courageous, nothing could stop us.

Confidence: the most important tool for crowds facing state repression is their ability to inspire and motivate themselves through joint action, clarity of purpose, respect for differences, and clear metrics for success/failure. "Don't panic, stay tight. We will be all right!"

Formation: the front of the crowd marched in a V-shaped "wedge", allowing the crowd to advance through obstructive lines of militarized police without causing or incurring any injuries or bodily harm.

Glasses/masks/respirators: aside from concealing the identities of vulnerable activists from hate groups and other opponents of emancipation struggles, these defensive tools allowed protesters to withstand pepper spray and tear gas.

Clothing: many protesters wore matching white coveralls. Many others wore muted or neutral colors. By blending in with one another, activists make it more difficult for police to target vulnerable people in the crowd.

The most important story of the #BlockCopCity action is not the police aggression, which was expected.
It is the methods and tactics used by protesters to keep one another safe, effectively preventing any arrests or injuries. Let's take a closer look. 🧵

The DA has ruled that it was "objectively reasonable" to kill Tortuguita. They had their hands up, seated on the ground. Justice does not come from the courts, it comes from our dedication to fight for liberation through hardships and setbacks. We honor the dead by refusing to give up.

Moments before Atlanta City Council voted to fund Cop City, they brought these guys into the chambers. Because their rule comes from their strength and not their legitimacy. We have plenty of legitimacy where they do not. Now it is time for us to be strong.
