They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long.

Uh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.

From Rapid Response to Revolutionary Social Change Participants in the rapid response networks in the Twin Cities describe their experiences and reflect on how these neworks could contribute to revolutionary social change.

Everywhere, everyone must join or form rapid response networks—must prepare to keep the ICE mercenaries awake at their hotels—must learn direct action tactics.

We will win this—and every victory will pave the way for the next.

But real victory means the abolition of all structures of oppression.

This or just dumping people *in the woods* AND sending folks out w/o their phone or I.D.

Volunteers w/ Safe Haven wait at the gate & do sweeps of the woods, with warm clothes, a burner, and a ride home, "so no one is left alone at the gate."
