#DHS can’t create vast #DNA database to track #ICE critics, lawsuit says

Four #protesters are suing to stop the Department of #HomelandSecurity (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (#FBI) from seizing DNA samples from Americans arrested while peacefully #protesting #Immigration and #Customs Enforcement (#ICE ) activity.

“#RulesforRadicals” was written at a time of epic social upheaval in the #UnitedStates, and it was read avidly by #VietnamWar #protesters, #feminists, #civilrights #activists and warriors on #poverty. More than half a century later, a new mini-genre of “how-to” #books about #dissent and #activism has emerged, drawing lessons from past #protests for the era of “#NoKings” rallies, #BlackLivesMatter marches and the campus pro-#Palestinian #encampments.

Coincidentally but intriguingly, three of these books were #written by #Jewish #authors who, explicitly or not, are offering advice on resistance drawing on Jewish wisdom, role models and historical precedents.

The three books — “How to Be a Dissident” by #GalBeckerman; the forthcoming “On Courage” by #JuliaAngwin and #AmiFieldsMeyer; and “Be a Refusenik!” by #IzabellaTabarovsky — arrive at a moment of #protest fatigue and #political #polarization.

A marcher at the 2017 Washington, DC Women's March holds a hand-lettered sign that reads "OUR BLOOD IS BOILING OUT OF OUR WHEREVERS."

Red letters cut through a muted winter park while the marcher’s calm smile turns heat into steady resolve. Notice how blunt public declaration and quiet human steadiness sit together here.

Provocative normalization is the new black.
🖕

"Dozens of #protesters gathered Wednesday evening near the #BabDoukkala ramparts in #Marrakech to denounce what organizers described as “provocative normalization practices,” after a viral video showed a group of #Jewish #worshippers performing #prayers in the same area."
