Do you all know right wing Trump advisor Chris Rufo? In the Substack post below, he called for using "unmarked vans to follow key agitators and snatch them from the streets while the media are not looking." This sounds like something from history or Pinochet's Chile; but it could happen here. 1/2

40 yrs ago today, French Secret Service agents bombed Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior in Auckland, killing beloved photographer Fernando Pereira. The ship and crew were preparing to protest French nuclear testing in the Pacific. It wasn't OK to attack peaceful protesters then and it isn't OK now.

Can you believe we even have to say it?

“I call on you to resist the pressure to vilify peaceful protesters; help people understand that in a time of escalating climate crisis and the dismantling of democracy, protest is not just protected and effective, it is imperative.” - Jane Fonda, 5/16/25 @janefonda.com @janeclimatepac.bsky.social

Sometimes a protest is simply having the moral clarity and courage to bear witness to a wrong.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Thanks to Jane Fonda and everyone else helping us kick off SunDay! We’re headed for September 21 and we need you!

On this day in protest history: April 24, 1968, students at Columbia University began a sit-in at Hamilton Hall to protest Columbia’s involvement in weapons research for the Vietnam War and its treatment of communities of color surrounding the campus. Columbia students continue this tradition today.

On the first Earth Day, in 1970, over 20 million people protested across the country. They marched, created art, held teach ins, pressured elected officials. In the following years, a slew of bedrock enviro laws were created. That is what happens when 20 million people protest for the planet.

If we lose the right to protest, we stand to lose a whole lot more. -- Andre & Annie
