The problem is, nobody in this administration gives two shits if they get ‘condemned’. It only matters if someone actually steps in and does something about it.
The agents that arrested her were masked and had no visible badges or identification. There’s nothing stopping any random group of people from doing that and claiming to be ICE agents… I’d like to think that if I saw something like that happening, I’d step in and try to physically stop them; in reality, though, it’s easy to sit in my house and think that, but I don’t know if I’d be able to do it in the moment. I think we’re well past the point of physically resisting this bullshit by force, though.
Being from the middle east I would say silence is as bad as giving them power. Unless direct action is taken by the people tyranny would just get stronger and stronger while nobody notices till it’s too late.

The problem is they are not afraid of us. They are confusing our pacifism with impotence.

I expect that direct action at this point would result in martial law being enacted to the approval of half of the country.
