President Donald Trump on Sunday directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities, a move that comes after large protests erupted in Los Angeles and other major cities against the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

White women of suburbia, I need you to harness your biggest Karen. Do you think the French Resistance was just young men with rifles? It wasn’t. They resisted fascism in whatever ways they could. They passed messages. They gave shelter. And those long-gone French aunties, do you know what they did?

They were a pain in the ass.

They showed up at checkpoints and took their time. Their cars broke down right there in front of convoys. They didn’t confront. They played dumb. And they wasted time.

And that time mattered.

A mom working two jobs might need five more minutes to get home and hide. A dad might need ten more minutes to get his kids out the back. You’ll never know for sure if what you did helped. That’s the thing about this kind of resistance. You don’t get medals. You don’t get parades.

You just get in the way.

I know “Karen” is a bad stereotype. But my dad’s sister could argue with a phone company rep for an hour and still be invited to their wedding. She could walk into any store and walk out with a discount, store credit, and probably an apology. That’s a gift. And right now, that’s what we need.

You don’t have to fight. But if you find yourself near an ICE officer, and you can stall him—just for ten minutes—with a question about a warrant or where to find the nearest Post Office, that’s your act of resistance.

That’s your victory. We need you.
