    I’m not your boss, but if someone who worked for me said “Sorry boss, couldn’t make it in because I was kicking the shit out of some ICE nazis”, I’d consider that absence excused in a heartbeat.

      Don’t give a fuck off they do or don’t honestly. This shit has got to happen now or it’ll never stop. I’ll be damned if I let my daughter grow up in tyranny.

        As someone who grew up under tyranny, very much this. Fortunately I haven’t suffered the horrors unique to fascism so I can’t speak much to those, but the “keep your head down and watch out for government informants so the secret police doesn’t get you” talk is not a pleasant affair for either party.
