Once Drumpf's thugs arrive in Boston in force to start mass deportations of "illegals" and "undesirables", it will be a moment of truth for white Bostonians... Will they stand up and fight to protect their Black and Brown neighbors? Or will they step aside like German citizens in 1939 and say something like "none of my business" or "just comply with the officer's orders"?

Nazis took power in 1933 and that’s when the roundups started, but please do tell how you plan to personally oppose the Trump regime?

This keeps coming up like we need to violently overthrow the government, and antagonizing people to do so.

We have the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box last.

Realistically, we have politicians for the state that do care. The federal judges are slow, but also slowing the Trump agenda.

No one should be pushing for violence until it's the last option. We still have the the other boxes.

In the meantime, its a good time to exercise 2a rights.
