Part of the NRV Indivisible-led protest in #BlacksburgVA last Friday. We are hoping to see Flock systems discontinued in all localities. Kudos to the Christiansburg town council, which this week voted to do just that.

Trump makes it plain he doesn’t give a damn about sailors on the #USSAbrahamLincoln, or about any other service people, or about any of us except maybe his fellow members of the #EpsteinClass. Thank you #NRV #VisibilityBrigade for yet again bringing the truth to the overpass! #indivisible

A key part of stopping the authoritarians running our federal government is simply to keep showing up. Not just our NRV Visibility Brigade that showed up on this overpass. All of us.

Yet more violation of due process by #ICE. ICE is running a mass kidnapping conspiracy. And when we read reports like this, it makes us realize that if we were noncitizens, we’d better stay out of the United States. Regardless of where we were from. Accountability is coming for ICE. #noice

Bernard Lafayette and the activists he worked with created remarkable advances for social justice in conditions that to many seemed impossible. (And some, like him, did so at remarkably young ages.) They are passing. But we are here. Rest in power, #BernardLafayette. #CivilRightsMovement

The “Where are the protests?” lament after Trump’s inauguration was always based on a (willful) misperception – a myth propagated by a punditry vying for relevance, hellbent on presenting grandiose reckonings and sweeping narratives rather than careful empirical assessments.

This is just one story of the suffering caused to a whole family by the Trump regime’s secret police abuse, aka #ICE. How many many more are there that we will never hear about? But for Trump and his f*scist crew that will outlive him to do more evil, this story is no doubt something to celebrate.
