Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Lyric Video)

Reminder to #Americans to write your representatives, be they #Republicans or #Democrats, to tell them you are in favor of #impeachment of #KristiNoem for her mishandling of #DHS (#HomelandSecurity) that has led to chaos and violence in the streets that has so far, inevitably, resulted in shootings of #AlexPretti and #ReneGood.

Every voice of #resistance weakens them.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

Gedode Alex Pretti (37) werkte als verpleegkundige in een ziekenhuis in Minneapolis

De 37-jarige Amerikaanse man die zaterdag tijdens een demonstratie tegen het optreden van ICE-agenten werd doodgeschoten door de grenspolitie, werkte als IC-verpleegkundige in een ziekenhuis in Minneapolis. Alex Jeffrey Pretti was „erg van streek over wat er in Minneapolis en in de Verenigde Staten met ICE gebeurde”, zegt zijn vader tegen persbureau AP. Zijn zoon participeerde meermaals in…

There are a lot of takeaways from this:
1. Organizing locally gives you a massive advantage because you will always know your local area better than ICE ever can.
2. Be agile. You can always change tactics faster than a centralized organization.
3. Organize now. The sooner you build your networks, the sooner you can learn.
4. Identify ICE facilities and organize monitoring them directly.

But I think the most interesting one that's not explicitly in there, one that's hinted at the last one, is to go on the offensive. ICE is already afraid. If we all take the anger we have at the murder of #ReneGood, find the local ICE facility that they'll stage from, and bring that anger to #OccupyICE we might be able to just shut the whole thing down preemptively. Completely stop all ICE operations across the US. If they want to fight, they can fight *with everyone, all at once.*

Shut down their ability to operate at all. They have a logistics pipeline. They need cars, they need oil in those cars, they need to be able to move those cars to target areas. They also need money to pay those agents. All of those can be disrupted.

The regime needs your money and labor to maintain the illusion of legitimacy. They chose a bad time because you can hit both of those at once *right now* with a combination of #GeneralStrike and #TaxStrike, and then #BoycottEverything.

The regime is weaker than it's ever been. It's flailing. Their own base is demanding the release of the #EpsteinFiles. Their last gasp attempt to prevent the radical change that's coming is just to ethnically cleanse the US back to the 50's (which is what they always meant by "Make America Great Again"). Trump will do anything to stay in power, even if it means killing everyone on Earth in the process. But Americans can end it now by going on the offensive.

Now is the time.
