All of this summarized: you're complacent.
You haven't personally seen your friend taken by ICE. You're not aware of the location, number, and scale of the camps and aren't bothered by a few legal residents already being swept up.
Did you know the camps in Germany were built for the same reason? Can't ship out undesirables fast enough so we'll just put them all here. We'll give them some work to do as well to keep them productive. It's getting a little too full and expensive, let's feed them sawdust and add gas chambers. Hey, run a few inhumane medical experiments as well, why not.
The checks are not working. Injunctions are being ignored: funding is still being withheld and jobs are not being reinstated.
Yes, a lot of things can happen to the bus. But if you're not fighting to take the wheel from the maniac you see then all as acceptable outcomes. What "better efforts" can you possibly put above this?
Being aware, organizing, resisting and preparing are not the same thing as moping. Did you participate in the economic protest today or did you have better things to do?
