JUST IN ICE agents arrested at least 2 people outside a San Francisco courthouse on Tuesday morning. Video shows protesters surrounding an ICE mini-van with a man inside, banging on the van & opening its doors, trying to prevent the arrest. Protests are growing outside court.

I agree with those who say that by attacking sanctuary cities, the administration was trying to provoke a response they could exploit. But here's the thing: there is no perfect move for a community under siege. Cooperation and the passive absorption of violence are also highly exploitable moves.

Trump told reporters at the White House that the protesters in Los Angeles “are insurrectionists.” That’s false. January 6 was an insurrection, this is a protest. But by using that language, he may be laying the groundwork to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple European citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

If this were France, or name your country, people would be in the streets and things would be on fire. In Mexico City, I just saw thousands of teachers ring the federal buildings with encampments for blocks and blocks. They’d brought food and stoves and were in it for the long haul.
