Yeah, we are going to go to ads, regrettably, and then when we come back, we are going to start talking, I think, a bit more about the repression. We are back. So obviously, this is a part of the story that you've been telling.

The sort of capitalist class out in Bellingham, and this has been true of the broader capitalist class since this kind of organizing starting, has been trying to break these unions this entire time. That has been a major focus of everything that they've been doing. And, you know, what we're seeing right now seems like a massive sort of escalation in the degree of repression.

I think the thing it immediately reminds me of is the story of Thomas Paine, who was slated to be executed in the French Revolution. And they didn't execute him because his door was open, so they didn't see the slash line on the cell that was supposed to execute him. And then the next day, the reign of terror ended with the coup against the Jacobins. It reminds me a lot of that.

Yeah, good Lord. Good Lord. Yeah. Yeah, so let's talk a bit about, so I mean, obviously, you know, what we're seeing here, and this is, you know, the connection that you made is we're seeing just on a sort of broad scale, the use of the state and of the sort of black bagging and of these deportations as a way to target organizers from Palestine to labor organizers.

That's only going to expand as this goes on. And I think something critical about, you know, one of the first things you were saying here about the fact that they're targeting sort of the loudest voices in the community.
