Over 100 priests have been arrested in Minneapolis for civil disobedience. They gathered to demand that airlines stop contracting deportation flights with DHS. (Minnesota | 01/23/26 | -15°F) (cdn.social.linux.pizza)

In the unlikely event anyone in law enforcement reads this: you do not have to participate in the arrest of peaceful protestors engaging in civil disobedience. At any time, you can be the first link in the chain of state violence to break and refuse to participate. Either prove the police unions truly protect their own or merely exist to perpetuate the immoral victimization of everyday people.

In the likely event that a protestor reads this: stop walking away with them. Learn from the Civil Rights movement, make them carry you. A dead weight is a HELL of a lot harder to move, usually taking 2-4 guys.

If I've learned anything from my toddler, you need to switch from dead weight, to totally rigid in a weird shape, as often as possible.

Lol the police didn't become the police to protect or stand up for anything. They chose that to have power over people.
