And so these are really positive green flags we're seeing that we need to do more of.
So when I think about things that I have had it with, it is all of the insane focus on the impotence of our Democratic leadership in Congress in Washington, when actually the most that can be done is at the state and local level.
And we need to move our movement's focus to being applying pressure and cover to our leaders in the states because they are actually the ones we're going to hold the line for democracy in November.
I couldn't say it better than you, Jen.
I will add to that, though, that we saw this.
We have been seeing this in Minneapolis, which, of course, is still an ongoing story.
But we have seen the white allyship come out, right?
It is people protecting their neighbors and their communities.
And we saw two white American citizens exercising their constitutional rights get executed by the federal government.
by ICE agents.
And then what we saw is that that did not work to instill fear and compliance, right?
We saw more people show up in the streets in Minneapolis.
We saw hundreds of thousands of people join trainings to learn how to be witnesses and observers of ICE.
And so I think we know that the administration right now is running scared on every front, Epstein, ICE retaliation, and the elections.
knowing that they're going to lose.
And that is where we want them.
We want them in a defensive, scared posture, and we need to keep them there.
And I think that their fear tactics have not been working.
They have had a backlash effect that is going to lead to what you just described as this incredible unifying movement and too big to rig.
I love that in terms of our turnout for elections.
