And you're not wrong, but they are going to be doing that during the day for maximum effect. The kidnapping is the kindling and the police and military are the ignition. It's not an accident that they are doing this as cruelly as possible. It's literally the point. They are purposefully pushing us to a breaking point by kidnapping people in broad daylight so they can crack down and make themselves the heroes of the story for their propaganda machine. It's perfectly reasonable to be pissed off at everything they are doing, but if we don't look at the bigger picture then they win.
Every day another neighborhood resident is successfully kidnapped is a day closer to Trump having a stranglehold on your city.
The bigger picture is one of attrition. First they come for the migrant workers, and if you don't stand by them it's only a matter of time before they come for you.
You're acting like I said we shouldn't protest or fight back while I'm literally just talking about the curfew. And I'm not even saying it's 100% a good idea to have it in the first place, I'm just saying why I think it makes sense and how we can use it since ICE has been almost exclusively operating during the day to make it as obvious as possible. They have been and will continue to use our anger and fear against us and if we act on impulse we are doing exactly what they want us to do. These aren't just random ICE raids in random communities, they are specifically targeted raids in blue states in specific communities in order to manufacture a crisis that they can "respond" to.
If anything, we need to protest more and resist more. We are way past the point where we should have a general strike. I'm just saying that if things get more violent on our side we are absolutely fucked.
