There were bomb threats at 30 public schools in my city yesterday, and more in Springfield. Fake bombs were planted. Children were sent home bc of hate-filled followers of a pedophile. Conservatives, this doesn’t have to be your identity. You do not have to choose that side.

Lots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration. Congress can: - Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage) - Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes - Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same - Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction It can be done.

This man, who honored life both in action as an ICU nurse at the VA hospital and in words as we see here, was a hero. He was on the streets of his city protecting others when he was gunned down by a rogue paramilitary agency.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Maybe you missed the exit ramp when they shot Renee, or the next one when they gassed the kids. Or you ALMOST took the ramp when they kidnapped Liam but there were so many lanes and all those drivers waving you forward. Trump voters, the execution of Alex is another exit ramp. You got this. Let’s go

The horrifying things they are doing are not normal. But being horrified is. You feel sick because you are still human. You still have a soft beating heart and a stomach that twists in knots. They haven’t taken it away. It hurts because you still belong to yourself.

White text on blue: When they shoot me, they will tell you I was violent. They will say I meant them harm, even if I was waving them safely by, even if I smiled and told them I was not angry right before the agent pointed his gun at my face. They will say there was intent in my heart and for that they had to pull the trigger. Will you believe them then, even though you know me? When they shoot me in the face and leave my three children shattered, will you believe I was a threat?Will you say I should have just let them do their job, even though you know me and how my heart breaks for my friends, the ones I’ve told you are not criminals, the moms who just want to buy groceries without fear, the men who want to provide for their families, the kids who were tear-gassed outside a school, will you say I should not have been out there, fighting for them because that was interfering and interfering is reason for bullets? When they shoot me, will you say I should not have reminded my friends that they have rights?When they shoot me, will you say I should not have recorded the agents’ actions, reciting out loud, “I have the right to record, I am not interfering” just like I’ve been trained just like I’ve trained others, because the first amendment isn’t as important as staying quietly at home? When they tell the doctors “no” and the medics “stay back” while my life runs out of my veins will you say they had a reason? When I am shot will you say I shouldn’t have been out there, because yes, it’s sad, but they are just doing their jobs?  Just doing their jobs. Just following orders.Will you still believe them when it’s me?

Yesterday I went to see Liberation on Broadway. In one scene the women discuss the risk of getting shot while protesting in Ohio. I thought about all my friends organizing to protect our community from ICE. I turned on my phone after to a flood of notifications about a mom shot in her car by ICE.

ICE moved their group of 200 traveling gestapo into Columbus, Ohio, and for the last few days my community has been scrambling, connecting, activating and showing up in the most magnificent way. There are so many different emergency trainings, protests, etc. that I physically can’t go to them all.
