I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

The Trump regime plans to sign executive orders that will end cashless bail and “ask law enforcement officials to work to ensure that people arrested in [D.C.] are taken into federal custody.” In other words, the regime is threatening to put any dissenters arrested in D.C. into concentration camps.

West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio are sending National Guard troops to D.C. to support an already completely unnecessary occupation of an American city. The Republican Party is occupied by a fascist regime hellbent on using every method at its disposal to destroy democracy. America, wake up.

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

Gerrymandering undermines the power of marginalized communities by manipulating district boundaries to weaken their collective voice. For Black, Latino, Indigenous, immigrant, low-income, and other disenfranchised groups, this often means remaining unheard in the places where decisions are made.

The White House has decided to clam up. Starting now, anything and everything that is spoken about the Epstein case must be cleared by the WH first. In other words, "SHUT UP! STOP talking about it!!" That won't work, either. Why? Because WE are going to hammer "EPSTEIN!" every day..all day long.

People in ICE concentration camps are forced to kneel to eat food off plates “like dogs”, held on unsanitary buses in parking lots for more than 24 hours, crammed for weeks in freezing intake rooms where they sleep on the floor, and denied adequate medical care. This is a human rights crisis.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard. This is a movement. And today was a turning point.

Across the country, protesters with the #PurgePalantir movement showed up at Palantir’s offices to make good trouble, blocking employee entrances and demanding accountability. Palantir is the Peter Thiel-founded surveillance company that powers ICE. Follow @purgepalantir.bsky.social for more.
Protesters in NYC blocking the entrance of the Palantir office, holding a sign that says “PURGE Palantir. Stop the kill-chain” and has an image of a computer with a Palantir logo and blood.

Another sign says “Palantir has blood on its hands. Resist fascism” with an image of a bloodied hand.Hundreds of protesters in Palo Alto at the Palantir Office standing in the street. A man with a megaphone calling out to the protesters to lead chants. 

Protesters hold two large signs, one that says “ICE runs on Palantir” and another on a much larger banner that says “Take Down the Oligarchs. Teslatakedown.com”Protesters sit down to block the entrance of the Palantir headquarters in Denver.Protesters at the Seattle Palantir office leading a sit-in protest, disrupting business as usual for the company.

There’s a large sign that says “First Palantir Tracks, then ICE attacks”. The backs of protesters shirts also say “Jews say let Gaza live”.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

Our national parks are in trouble. Since Trump returned to office, the National Park Service has lost nearly a quarter of its full-time staff. That’s thousands of people who used to care for trails, run visitor centers, respond to emergencies, and protect the land, gone.

Together, we have mobilized the largest protests in American history. Nearly 70% of people opposed the Trump regime’s horrible bill. Organizers have banded together to protect their communities from ICE. Remember—they want us to feel isolated. We are not. We are the many, and we hold the power.
