No War on Iran! TRUMP MUST GO NOW! People in this country have a responsibility to oppose this aggression—to stand up against the bullying, the threats, and any move toward war.

Hundreds of people blocked the road outside Trump Tower on President’s Day to protest.

Stephen Miller, Trump’s Goebbels, has openly declared that the new “international law” is “might makes right” to discuss how that is playing out Sam chats with legal scholar Majorie Cohn.

"Fascism Experts Hear Dangerous Parallels in Rubio Speech" would have been a better headline, in an actual newspaper of record.

Love means protecting humanity from terror and tyranny. For the love of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America. TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

Dispatch from Refuse Fascism Norcal

Cliff Willmeng: “…the spirit here (in Minneapolis) is like, I don’t have the words quite to describe it. It is outrage and like a level of defiance and anger that is tempered with enormous discipline given everything, that I have never felt anything like this.”

I was honored to have been interviewed on the Refuse Fascism Podcast refusefascism.org/refuse-fasci...

This week we chat w Cliff Willmeng, Minneapolis resident, nurse and activist talks about the crisis facing the Twin Cities: the occupation by ICE and the unprecedented resistance that the cities have demonstrated on all fronts to this fascist offensive.

Bad Bunny just brought everything Trump hates into millions of homes across the US & around the🌎. Community, art, internationalism, hard work, joy, history, dignity, culture, Latinx culture, indigenous culture, family,❤️, rebellion, ppl power, real people. The lines are drawn. It’s this vs fascism.

Protesters are pushing back against the Trump admin’s practice of kidnapping their neighbors and executing dissidents, and the Trump admin is arresting the journalists who publicize that righteous anger I wrote about Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, & the First Amendment ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is: The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

"Trump Must Go Now" Refuse Fascism contingent in Healthcare Workers feeder march to the Educators "ICE Out Of Seattle" rally Jan 31. From there, thousands headed downtown.

New episode! This past week, Sam talked to Dr. Warren J. Blumenfeld, author of ⁠Responding, Teaching, and Learning Race & LGBTQ Topics as Acts of Resistance in a Declining Democracy: An Activists’ Guide.

Portland's Mayor: “To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children." “Ask yourselves why you continue to work for an agency responsible for murders on American streets.” www.koin.com/news/oregon/...

Thousands of protesters marched to Portland's ICE building Saturday. Demonstrators were met with large clouds of tear gas, pepper balls and flash-bangs shortly after their arrival. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Walkouts and protests are shutting it down across the country today against ICE - tag us to help show the scope of these actions - demand TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

The feds arrested journalists Don Lemon & Georgia Fort for their coverage of a courageous protest at a church in Minnesota pastored by an ICE official. This is fascism. It can’t be lived with. Today, join in strike/shut down actions and demand TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

remember that little twelve hour window a few days ago where the axios and politico brunchlord press once again helped project the idea that this guy was sensitive to criticism and had seen reason?

Let’s try this one in foreign correspondent voice: State Security Forces Arrest Journalist Who Covered Protests Against Regime Official

"As a member of the press, I filmed the church protest a few weeks ago and now I'm being arrested for that," Indipendent journalist Georgia Fort said. "It's hard to understand how we have a Constitution, Constitutional rights, when we can just be arrested for being a member of the press."

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

Raise your hand if you’ll be in the streets tomorrow to demand ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE! TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

Massive anti-ICE demonstration at UCLA where thousands of students gathered to show their solidarity with Minneapolis and Minnesota.

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money. And he was still threatening to kill someone.

“I can’t stay silent, and neither should you,” Ringwald said. “It’s not becoming a fascist government; it is a fascist government.” parade.com/news/molly-r...

BREAKING: In an extraordinarily uncommon development, the FBI carried out a court-authorized raid at Fulton County’s main election operations center. The search is part of the Trump admin's probe of the 2020 election in Fulton Co., including a lawsuit demanding access to ballots.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Nationwide Shut Down FRIDAY Jan 30 ICE OUT of EVERYWHERE To stop ICE terror - the whole regime must be stopped. The power of the people must drive the Trump Fascist Regime out of power now—before it is too late. In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a F@scist America!

Bovino’s been moved out of MN. But this was not a Greg Bovino enterprise. These brutal attacks on immigrants are the battering ram and linchpin of the whole TRUMP FASCIST fascist program. Which means they all gotta go & the power of the people can make it happen. TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

They may swap officials or move the surge—it’s still Trump’s regime. The whole regime must go NOW.

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue. Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

Sam and Mark discuss the recent events in the Twin Cities including the murder of peaceful observer Alex Pretti that came one day after a historic shut down of the city that brought tens of thousands into the streets in sub zero temperatures, and the response that is required across the country.

If this doesn't inspire you to act, ask yourself if you're still alive inside. If these children detainees can take urgent collective action in the most horrific circumstances, what can YOU do? Get in the streets - TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

The Trump fascist regime doesn’t want a blank slate. If they did, they wouldn’t fight to preserve Confederate statues. They want enslavers turned into heroes and Black people reduced to silence. They revel in the cruelest parts of U.S. history—and want them back. For any + future: Trump Must Go Now

So powerful! Get inspired and get out and join in nonviolent protest, resistance & shut downs today In Minnesota and everywhere! To stop ICE terror—and every outrage of the last year—the whole regime must be stopped. TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

Thinking of 5-yr-old Liam Ramos, "worst of the worst" according to ICE. Thinking of all we know about such brutal campaigns in Nazi Germany, Rwanda, Jim Crow South, when humanity is inverted such that children are not only not innocent but represent, in the mind of the fascist, the greatest threat.

Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so. How far we have not come in 250 years.

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for. My story:

One year into Trump’s fascist regime—of ICE terror, lawless violence, war threats, and open contempt for humanity flood the streets with the only demand that meets the moment TRUMP MUST GO NOW! Nationwide walkouts TOMORROW at 2PM join a Refuse Fascism contingent refusefascism.org/action/actio...

One Year of Trump 2.0: A Year of Lawless Murder and Boundless Terror THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE MUST DRIVE OUT THE TRUMP FASCIST REGIME!

1 yr into Trump 2.0: what we face in the Trump regime is fascism. Sam talks to human rights lawyer and writer @qasimrashid.com, and we share analysis and orientation for activists and everyone newly inspired to act for humanity from Coco Das, member of the Refuse Fascism leadership group.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

And there it is.

The import of this ruling: Foreign citizens in the United States—including green card holders—can be arrested for political speech and imprisoned for months or even years before being given a meaningful opportunity to challenge the constitutionality of their arrest and imprisonment.

It's critical that the protests that have erupted in response to an ICE agent's cold blooded murder of Renee Nicole Good continue to grow in size and determination. This whole fascist regime must be driven from power.

Had a good showing at the RF March in San Francisco today. Please continue to do what you can to fight this authoritarian and lawless administration. @refusefascism.bsky.social
