15. This is the opposition's call to arms. Past this point, only direct action by the people means anything.

Here's the question for anyone supporting this disaster to answer: how are you going to prove your citizenship on the spot to an armed man who hates your guts?

Without due process, the honor bond of our society's institutions, we are nothing beyond the tools in our hands and our willingness to use them.

Above all, do not let the ICE thugs or their allies transport you or anyone you care about anywhere, ever. Any business that hosts federal enforcers cannot be allowed to operate normally. If these agents of exile can do as they will, all is lost.

Oh, who am I kidding. We'll find a way to normalize this new circumstance like we always do. This is not a situation to be resolved internally, not anymore.
