Jury Nullification (or the Grand Jury equivalent, just Grand Jury Nullification) and it is legal to refuse to enforce a law if it is being weaponized or used for purely political purposes. Or if the jury would just rather Not.

From Rebecca Solnit: Good news from L.A. on melting away ICE. "Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back." https://bsky.app/profile/ajaxsinger.bsky.social/post/3ly7o2fjy3v2t This weekend there were huge marches in D.C. and Chicago against the current occupation of the former and threatened invasion of the latter. People are standing up.

On the one hand, I'm really glad other folks are realizing this is a Reichstag Fire moment too.

On the other much more worried hand...

Other folks are realizing this is a Reichstag Fire moment too. (Link to the substack piece mentioned above, worth a read.)

So...as you collect glass bottles, wrenches, ball bearings, nails, confetti (gotta throw some whimsy in there otherwise why are we doing anything?), halberds and anything else you might like to have around just for funzies...

Remember that an armed proletariat is harder to oppress.

"But Victus, am I part of the proletariat? Some Marxist-Lemonist (typo but I'm letting it stand) told me I was either petite bourgeoisie or lumpenproletariat."

Yeah, no. Congratulations. If you aren't making $300K a year, you're a part of the proletariat. Even cops (the thing they produce is oppression), who are also class traitors at all but the highest levels, but... we're not dealing with that right now.

Anyway, never trust a cop and watch out for anyone suggesting you write your name or email on a list so they can contact you later about future protests because they are definitely cops.
