  • Worth noting that when the Montgomery boycott started they probably thought it would be quick. The Baton Rouge boycott before them lasted less than a week. Of course Montgomery would last for over a year and go in front of SCOTUS multiple times.
    • The ICE killings in Minneapolis evoke Selma but the day-to-day tactics in Minneapolis remind me of the Birmingham Bus Boycott: a grinding, continuous, citywide and logistically demanding effort of non-cooperation over months to break an unjust status quo.

  • This but also I'm tired of people pretending that this is just a strategic debate opposed to the fact that individuals have ideological preferences that they are arguing about through the lens of electoral chances.
