Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said in a new interview that she is most inspired when she sees people obstructing ICE.
"Some of the most inspiring things have been when people encircle courtrooms and refuse to allow ICE agents in," Jayapal said during a conversation with Joy Reid on Friday's episode of "The Joy Reid Show."
"There are all kinds of nonviolent resistance tactics that we have to use," Jayapal added. "And I've started something called Resistance Lab… It's a training on really the documented most effective ways to counter democratic backsliding, nonviolent resistance tactics to build that movement."
The Resistance Lab website, which includes a page on Jayapal’s new book, "USE THE POWER YOU HAVE: A Brown Woman’s Guide to Politics and Political Change," is advertising a "Virtual Organizing Training 1.0" on July 13.
The website says that Jayapal "knew we need a way to turn our anger, fear, and frustration into action and progress. That’s exactly why she launched The Resistance Lab, an in-depth organizing training to build our movement and give you the tools you need in this moment. The scary truth is that democracies fall in a matter of months. So this is an immediate, urgent matter – and we need to quickly build our capacity to resist."
"We've already trained over 10,000 people in all 50 states," Jayapal told Reid. "And the next one's coming up on July 13. So, we're going to keep doing those, because that is what we have to realize is the United States has been complacent for too long. We think that maybe these checks and balances were supposed to keep us safe, but we're seeing that they assume that people on the other side also care about the Constitution. Not the case right now."

Mission
Don’t let others tell you what to think! Resist groupthink. Use critical thinking. Read the information on this site, weigh the pros and cons of your choices, and stay accountable for every decision you make.
Why Groupthink Is Dangerous
Groupthink—the tendency to conform to the loudest voices—can cloud judgment, stifle debate, and erode personal responsibility. Critical thinking counters this by demanding evidence, encouraging skepticism, and welcoming open‑minded discussion. Whether you’re a new arrival to America finding your footing, an activist driving change, a student honing your intellect, or a disillusioned citizen searching for clarity, The Resistance Lab equips you to question everything.
i cant stand looking at this woman. something seems off with her face. i can’t ever figure out what it is or maybe I am just jaded because I just can’t stand her.... period.
What happened to politicians who worked for the American people instead of illegals or George Soros? I would think she is breaking some law, or at least deserves censure by Congress. But then, Congress doesn’t seem to care for Americans, either, plus they have no stones for the fight.
Show business for ugly people....
This ditzy broad needs to be inspired by ICE deporting her ying yang back to India. America already has enough uglier than a mud fence, ignorant broads. I don’t know what the hell she’s doing here but I don’t appreciate her foreign ass running my country.
I wonder how she’ll feel if and when some illegal ransacks her house and then say they’re squatters and tell her to go to a Motel 6 ....
Look like this is a major attach of the commie civil war. Thankfully our government under trump seems to be handling it.
Supporting ICE obstruction seems awfully insurrectiony and seditious to me.
One of her minions tried to murder border patrol agents she is fine with that after all she supports Hamas
Obviously a foreign invader wouldn’t support ICE
Damn she’s fugly.
Jayapal, take a baseball bat and show those ICE fellers who they are messin with!
>something seems off with her face
Well that’s because it’s a punchable face, they just look exactly like that.
I would find it inspiring if she permanently returned to her home in the subcontinent!
how many arrests have they prevented?
jayapal is inspired by failure?
