We knew this about this Supreme Court. I guess everyone is on the same page now that the courts will not "save" us. The question is really how to save ourselves. On that, we need a lot more people doing a lot of different things for many years.

The easiest & safest (for them) way for ICE to boost their arrest numbers by a dozen people per day was to grab them from immigration court, which only required a small team of agents. But protesters put their bodies on the line, causing building management to change the rules & ICE’s logistics…
