The importance of @life_by_dani_

You don't have to be big, rugged, muscular to stand up to ICE.

In case you missed this, the other day a woman from San Diego had an encounter with masked agents. She posted this on her Instagram feed …

Her name is Dani. To scroll her feed is to observe a woman who seems to live the fairly easy life. She’s white, married, wealthy, a mom. She travels, she eats well, she does CrossFit. He spandex outfit probably cost $200. In short, she exudes the softer side of SoCal—land of oranges and palm trees and crashing waves and $22 salads.

Which is why what she did—and how she behaved—matters in such a huge way.

Every day (literally every … fucking … day), masked agents in unmarked vehicles and sans identification are grabbing brown people and taking them away. They do not offer a reason. They do not present a warrant. They arrive, they grab, they leave.

This is Donald Trump’s America.

And many, many, many people around here don’t seem to care. It doesn’t impact their lives, so … hey. Yawn. No biggie. But these are human beings, literally being kidnapped on behalf of the small-penis asshole lounging around in the White House. What the establishment wants is for us to get used to it. To no longer view it as a spectacle, but as a piece of modern America. They want us to go about our existences, watch the Dodgers game, scroll on TikTok and Hinge.

Well, Dani stood up and fought back.

And while it didn’t save the poor man who was taken away, it made a profound statement that has resonated.

It screamed, “Fuck y’all! We’re not taking this without a fight!”

Bravo.
