my wife taught women in the DRC with an eighth grade education (at best) how to effectively treat PTSD from rape - genocidal levels of rape - in group settings through USAID.
she taught Kurds and Marsh Arabs in Iraq how to treat PTSD from being tortured by Saddam Hussein through USAID.

This is not just a left vs right question, this is a fundamental democracy vs tyranny question. Once citizens concede their right to be properly policed, they give up their freedom.

The argument being made that ICE officers are concerned about being doxxed is without merit. If that argument was to be logically accepted it would open the gates for every official in the public eye, every police officer to be masked and without ID. I am surprised that US courts are allowing this.

In addition to protest marches and rallies, we have many more options for peaceful resistance to the authoritarian regime.
These two web sites outline many nonviolent strategies. You can choose the ones that work best for your community.

This is going to sound at least somewhat corny maybe, but bravery is almost never what you see in an action movie or read about in a nail biting news article.

I had an "I ❤️ USA" side to my sign I flipped to the flipper-offers.
Truly, I felt there was more cheering and honking than negativity. That has surprised me all year. I like it!

Its gatherings like this, in smaller population towns, that are most heartening. In a big march people add to the huge numbers, in smaller groups every brave individual has put their head above the parapet showing true courage in their convictions. Well done West Yellowstone warriors! 💙
