Below is a twitter thread by wikipedia brown will not yield no… @eveewing, starting with a quote tweet of that news article.

[transcript]

This is a moment where all the hemming and hawing over civil disobedience and “is it ok to punch a nazi?” comes back to bite us as a society. Because if this is really happening you know what courage requires? Laying our very bodies on the line to stop it at all costs.

If you don’t like black activists blocking the highway to protest police shootings I have bad news for you about what is truly required to stop a man who is bent on constructing a prison camp for children.

“If we know, and do nothing, we are worse than the murderers hired in our name.”

“If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own - which it is - and render impassable with our bodies the corridor to the gas chamber. For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night.” James Baldwin, to Angela Davis

He’s tried to wear us down emotionally and politically little by little. I know it’s a lot. I know you’re tired. I know it’s been day after day of nonstop shock and harm for a long time now. But we can’t get used to it. We can’t accept it. Maintain your resolve to stand up.
