Added some things. Don’t give up!!!

He switched hands as soon as the wife called him “big boy”.

Then he ran away. With his weapon. #illegal

Ross ignored every bit of training and protocol.

Minnesota police have enough evidence already to convict this guy, whether or not the FBI shares any of the crime scene evidence with them.

No good way to capture it but there were a LOT of people at the #iceoutforgood protest in Princeton today. Both sides of the street and the line just went on and on and on.

ICE agents are not traffic cops. They do not patrol neighborhoods enforcing moving violations. They do not have lights and sirens. They do not have blanket authority to issue commands to random citizens on a public street. There is no federal crime called “failure to comply with an ICE agent’s verbal order.”

Said it on the other post, but “you deserved to die because you didn’t comply with angry shouted orders within three seconds” is some totalitarian bullshit.

Free America Walkout January 20th at 2pm

I’ve been thinking more about the “Free America” walkout organized by Women’s March for for January 20th, at 2pm, and the more I think about, the more I think this action (or similar actions) could be really effective.

First, here’s the info:

FREE AMERICA WALKOUT Jan 20, 2026

Second, it’s been clear for a while that the only really effective resistance is mass noncompliance. Kimmel went back on air after people cancelled their Disney+ subscriptions. Spotify pulled recruitment ads for ICE after their stock tanked 10%. Target lost 10% of its revenue thanks to a sustained boycott organized by Black faith leaders.

And 2pm is a really clever time… I work in a school. If we walk out at 2pm, even if only a few of us walk out, that sets the tone for **other people** who weren’t able to walk out, to then join us after school lets out. And the same for work. Some people walk out, others join the crowd outside after work is over.

You see? It’s a weekday protest, but with teeth since some of us had to take that risk to walk out early.

Will this particular action be effective, I don’t know. It’s on essentially a Monday (for me), since MLK. Day is still (for now) a federal holiday. It’s hard to get things going on short notice, at the beginning of the week.

But each of these actions is important, each one matters.

Anyway, join if you can. We have to take some risks to save the USA from Trumpism.

I’ve been talking with staff today, and we’re doing this one. Wish us luck! It’ll be my first time organizing something like this.

ALSO, go ahead and join a protest this weekend, there are tons:

Untrained and unqualified masked agents demand 100% submission based on zero authority.

“If you don’t obey orders shouted by armed thugs within three seconds, you deserve to die” is some seriously totalitarian thinking.

You couldn’t publish this today.

You’d have to hide it under seven layers of metaphor.
