I guess I'll have to start identifying myself as AginFa. Not as cool, but will they know against facists is the same as AntiFa? I think not.

Oh, wait, I'm sorry. Looks like some media was following up.

Exactly - what's going on with the assassination case for Rep Melissa Hortman and the murder of her husband Mark - plus the other attempts at the same time. I know they caught the guy, but I haven't heard a word since then. Aren't these assassinations and murders of Democrats as newsworthy to MSM?

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

I'm over 70 and prefer to mask in large groups, where I don't know all. My friend & her husband got Covid last week; I wasn't masked, spent time near her, didn't get Covid. Will get my Covid boost in Sept. Wore a mask to Quaker meeting this morning & a friend laughed & asked why. I felt like a fool.

We’ll wait…🤔

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” —Sinclair Lewis

Really rather surreal watching the optimism of Americans who think they can wait until their 2026 midterms to try and save themselves when their neighbours are already being kidnapped off the streets in broad daylight and their cities are being captured by militarized forces.

HAPPENING NOW: a group of New York rabbis are being arrested at a protest outside the Israeli consulate calling for bringing food into Gaza, an end to the war, and return of all hostages @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants. This is horrifying beyond words. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

A new chant when we protest "This is what insanity looks like."

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Quaker House's hotline is getting increased calls from soldiers asking for advice www.newsobserver.com/opinion/arti...

This is the first I’ve heard of this, at least from a Ministry & Counsel view. Individuals might think this, but M&C would clear this up.

He said "And I want to just thank everybody and in particular, God, I want to just say we love you, God." In meeting this morning, sitting with others, I wasn't thinking of that, sitting in expectant waiting, I only asked for some message. That's all we do, wait, listen, wait. What came /1

You will ask yourself—does anything matter? You will wonder if the protests mean anything, if resistance means anything. It does. They do. I know how it feels, but don’t give up. It took a decade to oust Nazis. Many, many decades to end slavery. Resistance is long and difficult. But it is the way.

Do we miss them yet?

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

I don't like - or understand - how blocking works on here. I get what happens if I block someone, or someone blocks me. But if I reply to someone who is replying to someone THEY block, who I HAVEN"T blocked, I no longer can see the OP. I didn't block them. Why can't I see the OP? So annoying.

Going to keep documenting history, even when they cut my mic.

ICE would post up outside the manger to disappear Mary to a foreign torture prison after snatching the baby Jesus and holding him in a private, for-profit tender-age detention facility.

If ICE agents in the US are ever held to account for their actions (seizing people without due process, etc.), “I was just following orders” didn’t work at the Nuremberg trials either.

HAPPENING NOW: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was just taken into custody while protesting outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center

NYT “Chooses Silence Over Accountability” as It Refuses to Run Quaker Ad Condemning Gaza Genocide https://afsc.org/newsroom/nyt-chooses-silence-over-accountability-it-refuses-run-quaker-ad-condemning-gaza-genocide

why do I keep getting signed out of Bluesky?

Image from the aclu zoom via freemohsen account on instagram (run by his friends/supporters) The fight for Mohsen isn’t over! He has been released on bail and can finish his degree/stay in VT but the legal proceedings are continuing. This is a win but we need to continue to support him

6 weeks ago today, planes flew a few hundred people to El Salvador, where they’re being held at CECOT — a place from which Salvadoran officials brag no one is ever released — at US expense. Their continued detention there is our continued shame.

Seeing claims about the judge "hiding" the defendant. Read the complaint, folks (written by DOJ). The guy was literally in the public area where the agents were. I guess he got on an elevator before they could get to him. The complaint says after letting the defendant exit she came back to the bench

It seems like the federal government wanted to commandeer the judge into doing their law enforcement work, which they cannot do as a constitutional matter. Refusing to assist the federal government is not the same as actively impeding law enforcement. This is highly suspect behavior from the feds.

One of my first thoughts.

This is so brilliant.

Bayard Rustin quotes don't pop up often outside of Quaker circles.

Where do we sign up to advocate for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia's due process. And for all of the men illegally deported to El Salvadore. For anyone not given due process? Sign me up.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

This man speaks my mind - where we are now, what to do. I just had this conversation with someone the other day, only he says it so much better. www.instagram.com/reel/DIO6ry8...

I hope the Senate doesn't allow this to pass. BUT if it does - you can still vote but have to round up stuff. 1) Driver's license for photo ID. 2) Certified copy of birth certificate (order it now) 3) Copy of marriage license 1/2

BREAKING: DOJ files a response, nearly 50 minutes past the deadline, saying they are "unable to provide" any of the information Judge Xinis ordered. "Defendants are not in a position where they 'can' share any information requested by the Court. That is the reality."

Xenia Ohio, our county’s red capital in our red state. Only a one Trump truck with 2 people drove by (several times), one guy one a rooftop. All these people came out despite the rain and no nearby parking.

Meet Cheryl- a real veteran who had her benefits pulled by Fine & Musk’s scheme to cut social security. This isn’t just a threat, it’s happening right now. Randy Fine and his friends are the reason this is happening. Stand against them April 1

At first I thought it was Spartz's people kicking dissenters out, then realized it was dissenters encouraging each other to walk out. Wish more had left, but good job!
