You don't die that way in such an unjustified way.
But this is what they want.
They want to go into our communities, surge these officers, and then hope that people resist.
And then it gives them the justification and their own minds that they're looking for to commit violence.
as it relates to ice agents and governors and attorneys general you have so many emergency powers and law enforcement powers these guys only understand one language either they're on offense or you're on offense and if they're on offense that means the most vulnerable people in our community on defense something else that i would do i call it reveal to wheel
If you have ICE agents who are wearing masks and unidentified and you're a governor, take away their damn driver's license.
Don't allow them to drive in your state.
Make that a revocable offense.
Again, they will get the message, I promise you, if you put them on their heels rather than them putting the most vulnerable in our community on theirs.
OK, OK, well, that's you have a lot of states rights and authorities that affect their mobility.
And I think you can do all of that.
And again, just go on offense.
Don't let them drive the narrative.
You know, I just talked to the new mayor of Miami last week, Elaine Higgins, and part of her campaign was to protect the most vulnerable in her community who are under attack.
And then many of these people are not people who can vote for her, right?
I mean, but she knows that they are friends and neighbors of the community.
And so I think this has to be a clarion call for mayors and governors
Well, the margins are so thin right now.
