Building an Opposition to Survive the Trump Era
Mass protests have demonstrated a wide range of disagreement with the Trump agenda. But we need smaller local and regional networks to build a more rooted, sustained opposition.

I donât think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make whatâs happening now look like childâs play. And people are disappearing.

The thing is, even for what most (white) people take as their model of effective protest, contemporaneous polling showed that most white people still felt it was harmful to the cause. In other words, the finger-waggers will never approve of a protest, even if it remains nonviolent.
