    Let them stage it! Why are you so intent on helping them? Portland is handling this right by having dance parties. Chicago is handling this right by escorting ICE through the city.

    I think you underestimate the number of people (not just including the vulnerable) who will suffer when this becomes a shooting war.

      What are the actual results from this? Hint: almost nothing, immigrants are getting kidnapped just the same. The only way this is helpful is by bringing like-minded people together, but this alone doesn’t do anything, people need to organize and do something. First steps are physically block the gestapo from entering buildings, destroying their property, make them ashamed and afraid, etc. This is happening in some cases already, I’ve heard of tires being slashed when the idiots leave their trucks unattended during a raid. Y’all need to organize and learn from these people, do more petty sabotage like this. It bands people together and buys you time to organize for something bigger.

      Currently the US empire is involved in a literal genocide and is keeping billions of people poor and hungry on purpose, and is exacerbating the impending climate catastrophe. Some vulnerable individuals in the empire itself suffering is bad, don’t get me wrong. But you are significantly underestimating the harm being done right now, by focusing on what’s happening just in your country without seeing the broader context.

      You’re right, I underestimate - hopefully. But I notice it’s already/only October, and there’s supposed to be 3 more years of this fascist terrorist regime bullshit?! The reelections cannot come soon enough.
