In this episode, I offer my thoughts after deep reflection on what has unfolded over the past 10 or so days around the U.S invasion of Venezuela, and the murder of Renee Good.
For me, this has been enraging. It’s been upsetting. It’s been hard to even write about it because what do I say about it that hasn’t already been said a hundred times at this point? But I do want to say this…
These are the acts of desperation. These are not the acts of a confident government. This is not just this one incident with ICE, but what it represents about the way ICE is being deployed.
We need to up our resistance. And in doing that, I think we need to first acknowledge how effective our resistance has been. Horrific things are happening, but they have not done that without opposition. And the opposition continues to grow.
Even in the face of such atrocity, let us continue to build the movement we need.
