If you're in the Bay and feeling paralyzed in the face of the oncoming ICE raids, here's a link to a stellar mobilization webinar that ran yesterday. It's incredibly grounding, practical & tactical, and will give you the guidance and resources to do what you can, where you can.

I 100% this peace won’t last to January much less still be in effect next year. As the Op-Eds and his pushing for it the day before and his statements he was 100% believing he could win it this year. He will have thought he solved world peace in a different way by September of next year.

Note: Trump can't really get pissy at all. Nominations for this year's Peace Prize closed on 31st January. He only came in to second term on 20th Jan. He'll be aiming for next year, folks.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Governor Polis Orders Flags to Half-Staff to Honor the Anniversary of September 11th and the Passing of Charlie Kirk

Interested media should RSVP to media @ ufw . org. Ahead of his press availability, George Retes issues the following statement:
"My name is George Retes. I’m a 25-year-old U.S. Army veteran, a U.S. citizen, and I work as a security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California.

On July 10th, I was wrongfully detained by ICE agents while simply trying to report to work. I was pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed, had my car window smashed, and was dragged out of my vehicle at gunpoint — all while I was nonviolent, and doing nothing wrong.

I clearly identified myself as a U.S. citizen and an employee of the farm, yet federal agents ignored me, yelled conflicting orders, and then violently detained me. I was held in custody for three days without any charges, without a phone call, and without access to legal help. I was never told why I was arrested. I never received care to clean myself despite being covered in tear gas and OC spray for days.

This is not how any person should be treated — especially not a veteran who served this country with honor. I didn’t break any law. I was just trying to go to work.

What happened to me wasn’t just a mistake — it was a violation of my civil rights. It was excessive force. And it was a failure of justice. I’m speaking out not just for myself, but for every citizen who could’ve ended up in my place that day.

I’m calling for a full investigation into the actions of ICE and other agencies involved in this operation. I want the agents who ignored protocol and used force against me to be held accountable. And I want the public to know the truth: this raid didn’t just target immigrants. It hurt Americans too.

I will not stay silent. I served this country, and now I’m demanding it do right by me."

People said “join Bluesky, it’s different”. Same old immediate follows by multiple porn bots.
