Government Coup

I find myself thinking, well that grandchild is safer because she has blue eyes. I can't believe it has come to this so quickly. God help us all.

Is she white or brown?

The scum in charge of DHS had said they’re going to start making people prove their citizenship. I have a passport and Apple recently allowed you to add passport to Apple Wallet to use at TSA checkpoints in case you don’t have a RealID passport. I don’t fly much, but I added passport just in case of the ICE crap even though I’m lily white. ICE is still all over the Chicago area.

The local one is white. I have another in another state who is brown.
I don't know how to do the apple wallet passport thing.

concluding paragraph:

“The goal is to be an observer and to document what is happening,” says Nathan-Pineau of the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. “The goal is not to go and try to intervene in the law enforcement action.”


Obstructive, belligerent, vigilante citizenry = not a good thing

Obstructive can be a good thing. There are very good models for peaceful protest, and I think they are necessary, because people in power do not willingly give up that power.

Examples of exemplary peaceful protesting:

The 500 disabled people who crawled backwards up the steps of the Capitol to demand passage of the ADA.

Gandhi's salt march

The grape boycott

And of course, MLK wrote the book on how to protest peacefully and effectively. Unfortunately his peaceful protesters often encountered not-so-peaceful counterresistance.

I am all for obstruction in the right way in the right circumstances. I support all the peaceful protesters in Minnesota and elsewhere. We cannot tolerate the violent and indiscriminate capture of innocent civilians.

Tybee, maybe for the brown grandkid, the parents can take a photo of kid’s birth certificate and keep it on their phone.

Concerned, observant, involved citizenry = a good thing

Obstructive, belligerent, vigilante citizenry = not a good thing

Obviously!

It still is traumatic because children are observant and see what is happening to others! It may not be directly happening to them but those around them! It truly is sickening!
