Our ability to protect people and the environment is hamstrung by pro-corporate powers, and the ability to meaningfully oppose those powers is unfortunately limited, even for politicians.

There are a diversity of tactics to opposing ICE. All of the protesting on the ground is important, even when it feels like it isn’t. There is an abundance of shit to stand against in 2026, but we have to keep focused and combine efforts where applicable. “The wrong Amazon is burning. The wrong ICE is melting.”

We can be stronger than spineless politicians. We can arm ourselves with knowledge and skills needed to make way for another world that is still possible, where AI is strictly regulated, the environment is protected, and people’s lives are put before billionaires’ profits.
