Consistent system disruption with very specific demands gets more legislation passed that bursts of petty crap like spray painting the inside of a building. 5. Get optics. Trump is playing an optics war with these buildings. Dont give that to him

I was being rude to the person who called me a moron and a "B" (it's twitter, you can curse), not you I appreciate your response. I do think that outbursts of emotion like this are often the beginning of movements that can be harnessed in the ways you discuss

I also think actions like this--not so much the spraypaint but invading space--put pressure on systems I hear you on optics, but I've been to a lot of peaceful demonstrations described as riots by the police and news next day. Seems like the optics are bad no matter what we do

I agree with this completely, and it's why I'm frankly encouraged by any act of civil disobedience Because if this goes like I think it's going to, 43 days from now what we're going to need is people willing to hit the streets and stay there

(as someone who covers protests in Portland I've seen the test runs and while I'm sure he'd appreciate the opportunity for more, I'm not convinced it's strictly necessary for his designs)

as someone who has had the windows taped shut in Portland for a week + is struggling to stay civil, I don't appreciate anything that gives #45 any "opportunity" what will help end the ICE atrocities? disciplined + sustained protests would help--are they possible given who is...

doing the protesting? I went to the Macadam protests in PDX (2018? can't keep track tbh) + did not observe anything like revolutionary discipline btw liked your thread of 9/2, "sitting around w anarchists" u ended up saying "I'm shitposting"--no! why not make it into a novella?
