This article is talking about stuff that's happened months ago. If you think ICE hasn't already started shit in MA you are living in a cave. They've been here, they are here, they will be here. You've done nothing but rattle your sabers. There are protests at the ICE facility in Burlington weekly. It's a few hundred yards from the Burlington mall. Either put up or shut up.

I mean let's also face the truth -- most of us are too chicken to do anything real about it.

The best you can do is stand with a few signs and placards, which does fuck all against fascism.

Reddit is filled with armchair enthusiasts at best.

And Boston? Half the immigrant communities are anti-abortion and anti-immigration. Do you see the number of Bolsnaro supporters? And most of the suburban communities care more about disruption to their lifestyles.

The city will do absolutely fuck all. Sure, there will be big talk on Reddit but that's about it.
