3. Stop telling and start showing.

Shut it all down. End the entirety of the government until this is addressed. Get the Senate in session - all in the chamber, and then lock the doors and refuse to allow anyone out. Don't tell me about 'legal' or 'allowed' shooting disarmed people 10 fucking times IN THE HEAD AND BACK is not 'legal' or 'allowed'. Executing a woman driving her car and attempting to evade an armed thug is not 'legal' or 'allowed'. Shitting on the protections of the Constitution and engaging in reputational assassination on the heels of physical assassination (despite the VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE CRIME) is not 'legal' or 'allowed'.

We are in dangerous times and timid or half-hearted measures only invite additional abuses and attacks.

FIGHT BACK - bare knuckles and break the goddamn norms and rules; stand your ground or fucking resign and make way for others who will. Surrender in 2 weeks is STILL surrender. Victory is only an end to the ICE abuses and a return to oversight, responses to authority and prosecution of crimes by ICE - assault and battery, illegal search and seizure, menacing, false imprisonment, and murder to start with. There is no such fucking thing as total immunity, period. While we're at it end qualified immunity as well, across the board, period.

I swear if this ends and ICE remains masked, unidentified and unchecked, then fuck it all. Its time to rethink allegiance and allies and find those who still give a fuck between right and wrong and are willing to die instead of abet those who think of law as and advantage to exploit or leadership as a reward for campaigning instead of as a sacred duty.

Quit talking.
Start walking.
Start with throwing everything in government into a wood chipper and hit "start"... obstructing the status quo is the minimum acceptable response.
