@Lassielmr @sarahtaber I do all that I can do and have done so for over 40 years. I was in much of the Uprising in DC. just 5 days ago I had to travel 220 miles each way to the Alligator Auschwitz opening day protests. I spend the first half of Jubne in DC for D-Day, WorldPride, and the only protest against Trump's military parade to call his bluff about "massive force" and set up right outside an exit checkpoint.

I got my start in 1982 fighting against Reagan's attacks on El Salvador and his attempt to bring back the draft to make a conventional forces invasion there possible.

People ARE rioting BTW: in LA, Portland, Seattle, Austin TX, Minneapolis, and NYC, ICE raids have been resisted by force. Big crowds counterattacking ICE have been credited with forceing ICE to go from offense to defense in every place we have sought to break up ICE attacks.

Way back in February ICE was defeated in Plant City, FL in a failed attack on migrant farmworkers there. The first day of Trump's term they had to cancel a planned attack on Chicago because it has leaked. People had a whole week to prepare and to essentially set up on ICE. ICE cancelled as they would have been raiding into a trap.

As of right now, between the extralegal detentions and concentration camp projects by Trump on the one hands, and the battles to beat back ICE raids on the other,I think it is safe to say the US is now in a state of low level civil war.

Checkpoints on highways that hunt on the basis of race, Marines deployed to defend secret police (ICE) and concentration camps (Alligator Auschwitz), and street battles lasting weeks in many places against all of these are not the hallmarks of a country at peace.
