More and more accounts on other platforms that don't usually post about #Trump are now posting about #ICE. The trend is "Camping [or whatever nonpolitical interest] is political because you can't go camping if ICE murders you."
We are closing in on this regime because the resistance is becoming unavoidable in everyone's life. When it shows up in headlines, NBA games, the Golden Globes, non political social media accounts, everywhere, that's it. That's the ballgame.

Leopards have been eating a lot of faces. A lot of people tried to ignore the regime until the chaos affected them. The regime is already unavoidable even for very privileged people because of the economic devastation and the growing public outrage.
But the resistance has been hidden as much as possible by media and social media oligarchs. That has stopped a lot of people from joining in.
The murder of Renee Good has blown the lid of censorship off the resistance. That's what we needed.

ICE agents commit abuses expecting us to cower like they would in the face of any threat. More than one is on video saying "Haven't you learned your lesson?" They can't imagine being brave.
We have indeed learned our lesson. Millions of people have learned that if they don't stop this urgently they are next. I am seeing more people than ever in the streets in my city and in videos from around the US, even when it's short notice.
Lots and LOTS of people learned from the last few days.

This is why I've been saying I'd be terrified for this country if we had more competent fascists in charge. Not to make Putin or Orban out to be geniuses, but they at least are smarter than this. They kept their economies stable and consolidated power for years before doing this heavy handed shit. We'd have been toast facing someone like that.
But we can beat these people. They are in a tail spin of panicky overreactions and the resistance gets stronger every day. We will win.

@MaryAustinBooks So so thrilled to see you all resisting and protesting in myriad ways! Keep up the pressure, it’s working—the cracks are showing. I really believe they are terrified of your power and your resolve.
Cheering on you from afar
