Jennifer Rubin: The civil rights activists and 'architects' championing All Roads Lead to the South

LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter proposes, "I am asking us to stop being incrementalists. Incrementalism assumes a system that operates in good faith. We do not have one. I am asking us to be the architects. The people who understand that we are building for a hundred years, not for one election or news cycle.”

Jen Rubin Column: All Roads Lead to the South

Civil rights activists gather in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama

The Contrarian

‘The first priority is to keep organizing. This fear and feeling like you have to change everything is not helpful for organizing and often paralyzes people ….’

‘Think about the next year, think about the next five years, think about the next 10 years — we have to stick around if we’re going to be successful.’

https://tennesseelookout.com/2026/05/14/aclu-lawsuit-startling-pattern-of-first-amendment-violations-by-memphis-safe-task-force/

Memphis Safe Task Force agents are engaging in a “startling pattern of retaliation, intimidation, and harassment” against bystanders who record their activities, a federal lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union alleges. Filed Wednesday on behalf of four Memphis residents who have suffered pushback after observing and documenting the multi-agency law enforcement crackdown, the lawsuit seeks a ruling declaring the agents’ actions violate the First Amendment. The lawsuit is also seeking an order barring Task Force agents from retaliating against people for gathering information or recording task force activities in the future.

Tennessee Lookout

- Observers being tailed, stopped, and subjected to questioning without reasonable suspicion of a crime after observing Task Force activity.

“Exercising First Amendment rights should not result in arrests, intimidation, or surveillance, and yet that is exactly what is happening to people in Memphis. The pattern of unconstitutional retaliation is severe and chilling.”

- Observers noticing unmarked vehicles with tinted windows and individuals in tactical vests outside their homes after observing the Task Force.

- Task Force agents repeatedly identifying and taunting observers by name, when observers have never met them before, making observers “feel hypervigilant.”

- Task Force agents shining bright lights at observers’ faces, phones, and cameras to obscure photography and filming of Task Force activity.

“While observing and recording Task Force activities, civilians have reported a pervasive pattern of retaliation. Allegations include:

- Task Force agents tackling an observer seeking to record Task Force activity, pinning her down and arresting and jailing her for 27 hours.

- Task Force agents swerving at or boxing in observers with their vehicles.

- Task Force agents consistently photographing observers’ faces, vehicles, and license plates.
