The number one rule of resistance to authoritarianism is do not obey in advance. Make the bastards fight for every inch. Throw everything you can at the machine to make it stop its horrible machinations.
On December 4th, the people of New Orleans showed the city, the state of Louisiana, and the world exactly what this principle looks like in practice. Dozens of protestors inside city council chambers spoke out and demanded the city council do more to stop ICE from kidnapping members of the community.
“We came here today to take a stand against the [Department of Homeland Security] and ICE and all these goons who have come to arrest our neighbors and put us in fear […] We are not in fear,” one activist said.
The Council president suspended public comment, yet protestors persisted. They continue to demand more be done in the face of the Trump Administration’s targeting of New Orleans in the so-called “Catahoula Crunch” operation. The City Council protest was but one facet of a massive resistance, city-, state-, and nation-wide.
