When these people insist the mere presence of people unlike them is an attack on them, their country, or their rights, this is exactly the outcome they are seeking, and disappointment among far right Trumpists is largely that he failed to produce events like this here.

This is the message I just sent to the NYC Mayor's Office. Fascism's strength depends on institutional pillars of support. Currently, our own state or city governments are functioning as pillars on this matter through their silence, passivity, and complicity. We must tell them that is unacceptable.

John Mark Rozendaal was playing his cello outside Delaney Hall on Fri night—after organizers asked musicians to come—when state police descended in riot gear. He said the police threw his cello to the side and removed his mask, exposing him to teargas. The moment, caught on livestream, went viral.

With every escalation on the outside, just imagine what's happening inside Delaney where no cameras or oversight is being allowed. We need congressional oversight, we need medical professionals allowed inside, and we need the hunger strikers' demands met.

“It’s just burning. I just wanted to try to keep people safe.” ICE fired pepper spray at Senator Andy Kim and protesters outside a detention facility in New Jersey. Not another penny should go to these out-of-control agencies — and when we regain power, we will hold all of these thugs accountable.
