Sing Resistance❤️‍🔥

Incredibly emotional to hear my poem has been turned into a song of resistance and is being sung in Minneapolis right now. Please do not give up.

Read the list of companies & /let's hope @abigailspanberger.com leads the charge for much needed ethics and campaign finance reform this year👀 Virginia ranks among worst in nation. Demand better. #vadems

What you are seeing here from Booker is the most craven and cynical counterinsurgency designed to preserve the key structures while tricking low information liberals into thinking people in power care and are “doing something.”

ICE and the Israeli army are using the same playbook because they are born of the same system of state violence and white-supremacy – the same machinery of racialized control that has been refined in Palestine and imported to American cities through deliberate policy and corporate profit.

#GMU Rector Stimson is out. changes to BOV: 👏

I wonder how this news was received by pastor of a local UMC, who deep into 2024 would not call the genocide a genocide. He preached some good sermons on Bonhoeffer, though🤔

"He’s been stolen from us." Jsané Tyler's cousin Keith Porter, Jr. was shot and killed outside of his apartment complex in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve by an off-duty ICE agent who also lived in the building. More: https://www.democracynow.org/2026/1/13/keith_porter_jr_ice_shooting

Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza. He has assembled a Board of Occupation. The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu. That is up to the Palestinian people.

Reminder: slavery hasn’t been abolished in the United States. The 13th amendment says slavery is legal as a punishment for a crime. Black Americans have been living under mass incarceration for decades, what we are seeing is an acceleration of this system.

@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social at every opportunity to stand up to trump

New primary slogan "Abolish Incumbents"

Today in history: US complicity

@abigailspanberger.com clean out #GMU BOV, too pls & thanks

100% this book❤️‍🔥

Some good news for Virginians!

New: Secretary Linda McMahon says the Department of Education has decided to "pause" garnishing wages for student loans.

One of our neighbors has put this sign up repeatedly in their own yard and ICE keeps coming by and stealing it

Another thing we saw in Chicago. They terrorize neighborhoods but pretend no one actually lives there. A man in my neighborhood just happened to be coming home during a CBP kidnapping and ended up with six broken ribs.

GMU's Terry Clower is so discredited to weigh in on Right To Work repeal. He was paid to present pro-casino "research" to the NoVA community last yr, after a long career of voicing skepticism about local economic benefits from casinos. #GMU #righttowork #tysonscasino #vadems

I really want to tell you about the proposed legislation to end ICE agreements in Virginia but the legislation is still in the work. I expect the bills to be introduced next week and hopefully head in committee in the coming weeks. Senator Salim and Delegates Guzman and Lopez will be patrons.

Deploying tear gas is an act of war. People have become inured to it but it is toxic and harmful. issuu.com/projectnia/d...

/6 ICE is a monument to totalitarianism, lawlessness, and bigotry. It should be ripped out and woodchippered root and branch and replaced with something focused on the concept that you can’t defend the rule of law by burning it down.

Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

"Organizers in cities across the country have launched Eject Elbit, a coordinated campaign against Capital One's partnership with Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems." #USA #Israel #WestBank #Gaza #Palestine #Apartheid #Surveillance #Censorship #Military #Protest #Weapons #Genocide

They don’t know who they’re taking because: -they don’t talk to them -they’re random pedestrians It is literally indistinguishable from a kidnapping when you see it, except there are so many of them, and they are more heavily armed and armored than any kidnapper would ever be.

Rally on Thursday: ICE Out Of DC! Tell @mayorbowser.dc.gov to end the collaboration between MPD and Trump's forces! 12 pm, Thursday January 15, John Wilson Building @50501dc.bsky.social @flareusa.bsky.social @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social @mdcdsa.org and more #forkoff

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

In Minneapolis

Joseph H. Thompson, the second in command at the U.S. attorney’s office and oversaw the fraud investigation in Minnesota, joined his colleagues in quitting over the Justice Department’s push to investigate Renee Good's widow and its reluctance to investigate Ross. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

This is not a ceasefire. #FreePalestine

Spines are like friendship in that ICE agents are unfamiliar with both of them

It was actually Democratic policians accepting funding a genocide, vilifying protesters, and Congress voting against recognizing international law that got us here.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Who remembers just 8 months ago when we were asking kidnappers to see the signed judicial warrants?? #IAmReneeGood

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

I never underestimate the power of voices raised together in song❤️‍🔥

Hyattsville MD

"A medic at one Tehran hospital said there were "direct shots to the heads of the young people, to their hearts as well", while a doctor said an eye hospital in the capital had gone into crisis mode" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One of the things I am proudest of in Minneapolis. I brag about them to anyone who will listen. I fucking love Brass Solidarity. They bring us courage and joy and will.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

💔💔💔

Electeds' silence (both parties) while funding genocide against majority opinion has led us to this place: ICE attempting ethnic cleansing at home.

That's fine, but she will still never be president. Nor will Newsom, Harris, Booker, Buttigieg, AOC, Shapiro, Beshear, nor any other Dem who was basically silent while we funded a genocide & taught our govt that we condone violence both abroad & at home. We're paying a deadly price for that silence.
