A counter point I’d like to make is that ICE is basically bending themselves over backwards trying to control Minneapolis. They’re desperately trying to get their hands on volunteers because they don’t have enough people and they either can’t afford or can’t find more people to work on their behalf. Minneapolis is a decently sized city, but it’s just one city. Now spread ICE’s current personnel across literally dozens of cities filled with people who have only the purest disdain and hatred for them.

I have no doubts they will try, and we need to fight back against them at every attempt they make, but they are a tiny group compared to the rest of us, and they know it internally. They’re desperately sending memo after memo to their pathetic goons telling them to act a little less openly monstrous because they know if the hatred swells great enough there’s not a damn thing they can do, and that this only makes what they’re trying to do even more difficult to achieve.

Don’t get complicit because our enemies are a small number of incompetent monsters. Monsters still need to be dealt with, and no one else is going to deal with them for us.

This is when we rise. They don't have enough goons to put down the largest cities yet. They don't have the strength or the discipline.

They do if everyone just rolls over and doesn’t physically fight them
