One of my housemates was at that protest on Monday. She got peppered and knocked down. Bruised up and aching, but not stopping anytime soon. ICE are nothing more than thugs.

And think about this for a moment. Some of these "federal employees" were wearing blue jeans? I didn't know blue geans were government issue. Disguting.

Like they say, "There are many paths into resistance. Ours uses spectacle and humor with intent: to build community, generate joy, and pierce the aura of authoritarian power, cutting through the fear it depends on, and exposing the hollowness beneath its claims of omnipotence."

Funny moment during that winter protest. She was out there in her costume, streets slick with ice and snow, wind whipping about; she had the cops, who were keeping an eye on things, helping her cross the intersection a number of times because of the conditions.

Why did the inflatable chicken cross the road?

To keep the protests going.
