I was just rude and blocked someone who was a snot about my refusing to comply and then getting arrested by ICE. Yes, you lil’ numpty. I will refuse to comply. Of course I don’t want to get arrested but that’s a chance I’m willing to take. They’re doing their jobs. And I, as an educator, will be doing mine. And numpty can go bite down on it.
When I was saying my farewells to my now former boss yesterday afternoon, we joked about me having him on speed dial (AND knowing where he lives) in the event I get arrested for rabble-rousing. Consider me part of the Auntie Brigade.
Non-violent civil disobedience can result in arrests. And in trying to arrest hordes of disobeyers, the arresters may become somewhat overwhelmed and thus become self-incapacitated.
Though sometimes they’ve prepared plentiful oubliettes and transport thereto. One of the less triumphant episodes of Eyes on the Prize focuses on that.
Even so, though, you’re right— making vultures gag and do so publicly is useful, though/because costly.
No, they're not. Their jobs do not include breaking the law, which is what they are knowingly doing. "I was just following orders" does not have a good track record as a defense.
The Dems really did not take Jan 6th seriously! Thump & Guliani should have been YANKED OFF THAT STAGE the minute he said " We are going to the Capitol..." and tossed in the closest holding cell! Did congress members need to actually be assualted before that attack can be called an attack?? And WHY our own "supreme" court would rule AGAINST 20 Govenors, calling for an article 14, will NEVER make any sense! I mean HOW can 12 appointed judges have more power over 20 ELECTED Govenors??!🤯🤯 THIS court acts like co-conspirators more than representatives of the LAW! sorry i get on my "soap box" alot lately!
This is very helpful. Thank you, Susan, for sharing it. I am at Bradley Airport where I am happy to report Southwest Airlines did not get Trump's memo. The gate is festooned with balloons and banners celebrating Black History Month. I'll let you know if the anti-DEI police show up.
West Texan here just outside the 100 mile boundary. I have a stack of cards in my car, purse, pocket in English & Spanish that has bullet points on rights. My Espiscopal church is on this and we are doing what we can to educate our community as we have a large Latino population in the Permian Basin. 💙
Anyone can easily make these cards. Google "Red Cards". Print out the cards on red card stock. Cut them out, and laminate them if you can. Keep them on you at all times and hand them out.
Who funds that godless effort of your “Espiscopal” church, exactly? Why brag about being outside the 100 mile boundary? Law abiding people aiding immigrants would need to be in their proximity, why aren’t you?
Living in Michigan, where my entire state is in this zone, I’ve been hyper aware for some time. Luckily we still have Big Gretch protecting us as best she can.
Swords ⚔️ at ready. Word swords like for real! I have brown kids at ready at their Orlando schools. Some teachers are saying, “come through me first. On the other hand, some teachers help ICE asshats! Thank you for this. I shared it where I could and, btw, I flew on one of the first Southwest flight from Lubbock to New Orleans! I hope they hold to it! Hi ho, Susan!
I’m getting pooped out. A rally point is in my future but now I can’t go home to NM because of all this nonsense. Measles and flu in Roswell climbs as we speak. We’re getting iffy about our trip of our lifetime. Damn it all.
And get your phone out. I'm going to suggest this to my students, though they're pretty savvy and probably would be filming before a word is exchanged.
Susan is spot on. Former Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) here. The 4th Amendment is alive and well. Also ICE cannot legally do traffic stops outside the 100 mile border. They have to get local LEOs involved and that does not just happen. Listen. I encourage everyone to buy or get a pocket size US Constitution and carry it with you everywhere you go. Also do two things. Read the 4th amendment and understand inside and backward. Also, Google the cans and cannots of the jurisdiction of ICE. WE have an obligation to support and protect our fellow citizens.
One other thing. I immolate implore to download a copy of the Oath of Office, taken by everyone who serves in the US Government. We have sworn to defend the Constitution of the US against ALL enemies foreign AND domestic!!!
Go online and you’ll find a lot of options for a pocket Constitution. I got mine, I believe, from the ACLU though that was a while ago and mine is pretty tattered and I probably need a new one. STAY INFORMED. How can you protect your or others’ rights if you don’t know your rights? And thank you, Janice.
As American citizens and the land of immigrants, we have to do this, there is nobody here that is not an immigrant. Or their parents were the only true Americans are native Americans

And there I was just rude again.
I don't think you are capable of being "rude"😉 You were obviously raised right! Susan keep on doing YOU! You're AWESOME🤙💖‼️
Numpty is my new curse word.
😂
Honey that aint rude, it’s sensible !!!
👏👏BRAVA Susan! We NEED more educators like YOU!✌️💖

Mom always said the problem with correcting other people’s manners is that you often have to resort to rudeness yourself.
Non-violent civil disobedience can result in arrests. And in trying to arrest hordes of disobeyers, the arresters may become somewhat overwhelmed and thus become self-incapacitated.
All the more reason to flood the zone. They cannot arrest all of us.
Though sometimes they’ve prepared plentiful oubliettes and transport thereto. One of the less triumphant episodes of Eyes on the Prize focuses on that.

"They’re doing their jobs."
No, they're not. Their jobs do not include breaking the law, which is what they are knowingly doing. "I was just following orders" does not have a good track record as a defense.
I don’t want to slit any one’s throat. I want us to live up to the ideas of our Constitution. We’re falling far short on that right now.
Unforgivably short! Im sure all the Founders are rolling in their graves!!😫
Saved the Spanish translation for when I am too shocked to remember. Thank you!

The Supreme Court is colluding with Trump. He is following the Project 2025 playbook -and they are too. I wonder how long ago they were recruited ?
This is very helpful. Thank you, Susan, for sharing it. I am at Bradley Airport where I am happy to report Southwest Airlines did not get Trump's memo. The gate is festooned with balloons and banners celebrating Black History Month. I'll let you know if the anti-DEI police show up.
That is beautiful. Well done, Southwest!
Wonderful news. Thanks for sharing and kudos Southwest !!
Love it!!!

Bless the Episcopal church for all their work in this.
I’d argue that there is flight from mainstream Christian churches because the churches haven’t been as welcoming as Jesus.
Anyone can easily make these cards. Google "Red Cards". Print out the cards on red card stock. Cut them out, and laminate them if you can. Keep them on you at all times and hand them out.
Texas has people with seriously skewered perspectives. But then Texas also has Episcopalians.
Great idea! I have just looked these up, really nice. I found some for my state as well :)
You are part of the problem.
Who funds that godless effort of your “Espiscopal” church, exactly? Why brag about being outside the 100 mile boundary? Law abiding people aiding immigrants would need to be in their proximity, why aren’t you?
You seem to want to blame others for your turning away from the church. Isn't your faith your own responsibility?

I admire Big Gretch.

Hi, ho! Stay strong.

One republican flipped yesterday… 5 more seats going up in the next 60 days from Maine to Florida. WAKE UP! VOTE AT YOUR PRIMARIES,
Violence is easily ushered
Into reality through the corridor of silent voices.
Amen.
What level is your body armor?
Susan this is the best information I could have. It arms me with a strong sword ! I too will share. And I will shout if the situation presents.
Swords up!
And get your phone out. I'm going to suggest this to my students, though they're pretty savvy and probably would be filming before a word is exchanged.
Right you are. Phone charged up and ready.
⚔️
Hooray for Southwest Airlines! https://photos.app.goo.gl/99UkWkKMZ41o3fn18

Good advice! Thank you!

Economic blackout the 28th of February
Thanks for this.
This organization below is one an immigration lawyer I know mentioned related to CT:
Connecticut Immigrant & Refugee Coalition (CIRC)
It includes numerous coalition business and organization members who are listed on their website.

THANK YOU!!!!
As American citizens and the land of immigrants, we have to do this, there is nobody here that is not an immigrant. Or their parents were the only true Americans are native Americans
You do know why the “land of migrants” trope is so popular correct?
There are reports of people posing as ICE…
VERY illegal. All the more reason to video and demand ID; names and badge numbers and their office of record.
Swords up!
