Got into manhattan for the No Kings protest after 3:00pm, so literally the very last people at the back of a VERY long line. Folks had fashioned so many great signs, the coolest def. being the half-block-long canvas copy of the constitution that a rotating cast of maybe 50 people…

Very belatedly, Casey Epstein-Gross wrote at great length & consideration about the Meadowlands (which I guess is still my most recent record - ha) in Paste magazine. I admit, as I did to Casey, that I haven't read the whole thing but that's only because… www.pastemagazine.com/music/the-wr...

This is scandalous. The El Paso SPC is one of the few ICE detention centers owned by ICE itself. Members of Congress cannot legally be turned away from ICE facilities when conducting oversight. Yet these emails say Noem herself is deciding when and how Members can conduct oversight.

Mandate that ICE agents show their face and identification!
ICE agents—without identification—are detaining people in plain clothes and wearing masks—stoking widespread fear, confusion, and distrust. This is not normal. And it’s not only cowardly, it’s dangero...

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.
Black graphic with text:
"Know Your Protest Rights.
You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”Know Your Rights.

If you’re in a public space, you can ask if you're free to leave. If so, you can calmly walk away.You have the right to remain silent, even if you’re arrested. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone. If you’re arrested, you can say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer.You have the right to refuse consent to a search.If you have valid immigration documents, you’re required to show them. Never provide fake documents.You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.If you’re at home, you do not have to open the door. ICE agents may not enter unless they have a warrant signed by a judge (have them slip it under the door). If they force their way in, do not resist, but you can remain silent."Know Your Rights.

See you tomorrow, riches... Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on & daring the world to stop them. On April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to say: Hands Off! #HandsOff #April5
