we need to see more of this happening in red and purple states

Aren’t those the states that are into things like ICE kidnappings?

I use Germany (appropriately, I think) as my tool for comparison.

It took Germany generations to overcome the pariah status and national shame caused by Hitler. Granted, the U.S. hasn’t started a war or Holocaust (yet), but we’re directly supporting and encouraging one, and the mass deportations are a sort of “Holocaust lite”. Plus, I think there’s a good chance that we’ll end up attacking Iran.

It’s going to take about sixty years of continuous, uninterrupted “good behavior” for the U.S. to regain any credibility, and that’s just counting what Trump has pulled so far. Still, I don’t think the U.S. will ever be able to completely outlive this.

Sure, we can mark no kings day next year as well, and celebrate. June 14th right? There was something else on that day, but I dont remember what for the life of me. Oh well.

And a political assassination on the same day? Yeah, that was the start of the Second American Civil War. We'll see how quickly things heat up now

If it was a quote, I would have used the quote feature, like this:

People began shouting for the agents to leave him alone and told the man not to sign anything.

Sorry for the confusion.

United Flight 93 was the plane that crashed in a field in Pennsylvania on 9/11. It was headed for some important federal building in Washington DC, but was detoured to the ground directly below it because of the intrepid actions of the plane's passengers and flight crew. They sacrificed their lives to prevent a (potentially) greater tragedy.

I think the connection op is making is that collective action and bravery can, even in the 11th hour, prevent a larger disaster.

The good ordinary people on board flight 93 heroically prevented the terrorists from causing even more destruction by banding together to fight them at the cost of their own lives

When we stand up together we can stop atrocities from happening. But we have to stand up and we can't wait and see.

Some other people gave more context, and maybe I should have, too.

Used to be, if a plane got hijacked, the passengers were compliant and waited for it to be over. United 93 changed that forever.

The same thing seems to be happening with regard to regular citizens and ICE raiders, and I'm here for it.

24 years. Oof.

The courage of the common people?
