here's something that made me cry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppfFrlvaXgE

this is a clip that a woman from the USA took when the ICE banged on her door chasing after the delivery lady of her DoorDash order (a gig-economy food service).

in the space of 13 tense minutes we see her speedrun a political awakening like:

- why is this happening to me? I just ordered a DoorDash what's going on??
- I'm requested to bring this woman to police, she didn't do anything, this is so unfair why do I have to do this
- I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm going to post this on Tiktok ok, I have followers we're going to do something about it, there's nothing I can do what can I do, we'll protest ok
- omg I'm literally delivering a racial minority that is crying on my basement to a racist paramilitia right now, I'm delivering this woman to a concentration camp, protesting about it is not enough

and then as the immigrant cries in Spanish about not wanting to leave her little daughter alone, something clicks, and the houseowner has that moment that I call stepping up on the stage of history, where she understands exactly what's expected of her; she knows that ICE also kills people like her (this is post-Good), she knows that she might be marking herself and her residence as targets, that it's not off the table at all that she'll just get shot on the spot as a race traitor. nonetheless she steps up and yells at the armed ICE agents, to their faces, to "get off my fucking property, now!"

according to local forums the immigrant lady is safe and receiving community protection now.

when people ask me "what can I do?", this is the video I'll be sending them.
