Used to be, if a plane got hijacked, the passengers were compliant and waited for it to be over. United 93 changed that forever.
For a little more context, it was because the hijackers were holding it hostage until some demand was met, or they were flying it to Cuba or wherever, and then the plane and passengers would be released. On 9/11, they turned the planes into missiles with innocent passengers aboard, and they were all expected to die. When the passengers realized this, they took action.
The same thing seems to be happening with regard to regular citizens and ICE raiders, and I’m here for it.
Agreed, I love to see it.
I’ma homebody and live in bumfuck where thankfully almost nothing ever happens, but I’ve signed up for an action newsletter for news and information on how I can help, and I do my part to donate locally to my food bank and other things I care about. Dunno that it helps with the current state of things, but it’s something. Hopefully more opportunities to help in the future as I hate this draconian shit going down.
Apologies for misunderstanding your comment, that’s on me.
Some other people gave more context, and maybe I should have, too.

You weren’t the only one. Your comment and the other guy’s subsequent explanation helped me, too.
