If anyone is still looking for protest signs, I made 3 exposing the details of US citizen children who were “deported” by Trump’s ICE earlier this year w/o due process (2 have cancer). I can email the PDFs if anyone wants them for tomorrow so you can show *they* are the ones who hate America(ns).

Community note for protesters: - Try to keep yourself at least 6 ft away from “agents” - If you’re filming make sure to narrate the scene - Designate a buddy not at the protest who is waiting for an “all clear” from you - If you are assaulted/detained, shout your info as loud as possible

Israel has reportedly violated the ceasefire agreement, opening fire from helicopters over Gaza City and Khan Younis Trump won't do shit, AIPAC & AIJAC & LFI sends them money behind the curtains

Did the Keebler Elf know Trump signed a deal to construct a Qatari airbase on US soil when he said this or did he forget the right wing talking point about how Qatar is supposed to be the one funding Hamas? Looks like his party is the “pro-Hamas crowd”

"A WGN-TV video editor and producer was roughly detained by two Border Patrol agents on Friday morning during a highly visible rush hour enforcement action in Lincoln Square."

BREAKING: Masked Border Patrol agents aggressively arrested WGN video producer Debbie Brockman in Lincoln Square Friday morning, supposedly for "obstructing justice." (Video via Josh Thomas on Facebook) Follow @heartlandsignal for more.

The Trump admin consulting AI to come up with every imaginable distraction from the Epstein files:

Scheduling protests is stupid. RSVP’ing for them is dumb. You don’t need permission to give a shit. Your neighbors will save you before a faceless organization does. Organize amongst yourselves and most importantly: be smart. Ty for coming to my Ted Talk.

Trump has green lit the construction of a Qatari airbase hosted at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. A foreign military will have a base on US soil but America first, right?

"U.S. Central Command is going to establish a “civil-military coordination center” in Israel that will help facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid as well as logistical and security assistance"

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism. 🧵

Over two years of the genocide in Gaza, U.S. funding has enabled Israel to continue its military operations, providing more than $21 billion in direct military aid, in addition to $10 billion in regional security assistance

All of the confusion about Iran, Venezuela & the cartels just to mask the fact that war has been declared on us by our own gov't. Our cities are occupied by our own military, citizens are being shot & disappeared, protesters are “street terrorists” & dissent is a criminal offense.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

The system is exhausting by design. Take every minute you can to enjoy yourself, guilt free - then get back to it. Joy isn’t a form of resistance but it does remind us what we’re standing up for.

"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

No more turncoats like Fetterman or jellyfish like Schumer. No more political manipulators who would rather campaign on issues than actually solve them. Let’s not forget that Democrats could’ve codified Roe when they had majorities in Congress. 2/6

The fact that #GretaThunberg isn’t trending is concerning. She is being tortured by Israel rn. Aren’t little white girls supposed to be enough? Or are we saving our outrage for the scheduled protest?

Anyway I'm still doing free Know Your Rights trainings for anyone who wants them. If you're part of a protest group in Chicago or anywhere in Illinois and want a free know your rights training (or free legal support for your action), let me know! [email protected].

1. BREAKING Judge Immergut, who was nominated by President Trump, has just granted a request by Oregon and California to block the deployment of National Guard troops from Texas and California to Portland.

After being missing for 9 months, Jayvon Givan was found hanging in a tree in Albuquerque, NM. This comes after more than a few Black & homeless men have been found hung. All ruled suicides. To be blunt: I find it hard to believe a Black person would hang themself from a tree bc ya know, history.

Social experiment for the far right ppl in your life: Read them this quote but replace “flotilla activists” with “US citizens” or “US veterans” then read them the unedited quote and see if their reactions are different.

Just a friendly reminder that the NFL is an entertainment company now, just like Fox. While it’s amusing to see the far right twitching over a Spanish speaking US citizen performing at the Super Bowl, the NFL isn’t making a stand with the people - they’re making money off a confused population.

"Last month, a high-ranking Pentagon official who spoke to The Intercept on the condition of anonymity said that the initial strike in the Caribbean was a criminal attack on civilians and tied it directly to Hegseth’s kneecapping of the JAG Corps."

The home of a S.C. circuit court judge burnt down yesterday. Several of the judge's family members were injured while escaping. This comes in the wake of multiple death threats to the judge following recent high profile rulings. There has been no official determination of the cause or motive.

You can help them by calling their reps and demanding action to ensure and secure the safety of US citizens who sailed to deliver humanitarian aid to a besieged people.

We have only lost if we start thinking we have. The flotilla did work, just not in the way it was intended. Gazans were able to fish for the first time in a while bc the IOF was distracted. Stay the course. Hold the line.

A series of bombings in Gaza City now!! (Gaza Journalist Mosab Abu Toha)

Chicago, IL. ICE thug assaulting a US citizen for exercising his rights, lifting him by the neck and slamming him onto the ground.

BREAKING: An FBI agent has been removed from duty after refusing to stage a public arrest of former Director James Comey following his federal indictment last month.

its really an absolutely fucked place when you struggle to find a single person in power who understands humans are human

To my friends living in unoccupied cities/states: Just because you’re not seeing it on your streets, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening to your neighbors who live in a state you’ve been to, one that you love & vacation to. We are all one - "the United States is…" not “the United States are…"

They accuse every one of being paid because they’re terrified of the fact we resist them for free.

SCOTUS granted a Trump admin request to stay a lower court’s ruling, effectively allowing DHS to proceed with its decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelan nationals living in the US. This is the second time SCOTUS has allowed Trump to strip protections from 300,000 ppl.

Munich Airport was temporarily shut down overnight after drones were sighted nearby. German authorities have not released details on the origin of the drones but this comes after a wave of Russian drone incursions in Europe.

The US Veterans & Citizens aboard the Ohwayla 🍉 They were illegally intercepted by the IOF in international waters while on a peaceful humanitarian mission bringing only food & medicine to the people of Gaza. (names in comments)

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

Meanwhile in Illinois ⬇️

Urgent‼️US citizen detained by ICE in Illinois Juan Muñoz is a citizen & local gov’t official being held by ICE after being assaulted while peacefully protesting. It’s unknown why he was detained or if he faces charges.

Community update on the Global Sumud Flotilla. As of this morning, the Marinette (the last ship sailing) was intercepted by the IOF. The post below corroborates what I’ve heard about the crew being taken to Ktzi'ot prison deep in the Negev desert.

Epstein

For now, blue arrows mean no status update and red dots mean interception. The Mikeno is showing up in Palestinians waters but even if the flotilla wasn’t intercepted, they’d still be a few hours away. There was also a signal glitch/hack yesterday which showed boats in Saudi Arabia.

The Ohwayla is the US veteran boat in the flotilla. If you care about the US/our military, then you should care about its veterans & the ppl it’s supposed to protect. Both are under attack by a foreign nation actively blocking a peaceful flotilla from delivering humanitarian aid.

I just heard the Fair Lady crew mention sight of an Israeli warship

Journalists say Ohwayla ship is sprayed with skunk water in sea It reminds me of the time I was sprayed by the same skunk water canon in Jerusalem anti-government protest last year It’s quite literally an horrifying tool

There are 3 flotillas sailing to/for Palestine: -The Global Sumud Flotilla is the closest to Gaza & the one being intercepted -The Thousand Madleens (the media & medic boats) -The Freedom Flotilla is the furthest away & sailing behind the GSF with 90 civilians includings medics & reporters.

US citizens and US veterans are among the flotilla crew members who have been illegally intercepted by Israeli forces.
