Sure I agree but can we we just list all the names of the people affected without the cringe "You only know about the white ones" bait for disengagement? We want to capture as many as people as possible into this movement against fascism, it's just fucking not the time to finger-wag and shame and even imply that we're not all on the same fucking side here. If you can't see how this pushes away average Americans you either don't care or don't understand how human emotional intelligence works.

Also, sure, fine, great. Impeaching Noem and "abolishing ICE" is good, but why is that the thesis? Why is that our goal? why isn't it "Impeach, overthrow or primary every politician who has enabled this fascist takeover of America"?

Something about this whole message feels a little off, and we need to be careful for any traces of divisive language and narrow goals for what we want.

It's not paranoia to say that there are truly evil people working around the clock to pay other people to seed our discourse with red-herrings, argument-bait and division. There are very real-seeming people who are actually just poor souls in other countries being farmed and paid by twitter to run propaganda campaigns, to make arguments and to get their materials shared and reshared as much as possible. If there's ever a time to lash out at anyone creating problems and division like rabid bulldogs, it's now.
