For your safety, do not sit down at the protest. Thank you, I care about you and want you to be safe 💖🤟

DON'T SIT DOWN IN A PROTEST
IT'S HARDER TO GET UP QUICKLY, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES
TEAR GAS SINKS - PEOPLE ON THE GROUND ARE AT HIGHER RISK
STAYING MOBILE HELPS
PEACE MARSHALS DE-ESCALATE
CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES -
STAND SILENTLY
LINK ARMS
WALK SLOWLY
DOCUMENT
NONVIOLENCE WORKS BEST WHEN
IT'S STRATEGIC

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announces an executive order establishing "ICE-free zones" in Chicago.

"That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids."

This man is an American Hero!

“Imaginary Convo between the Hilltop and the Foothill” for the Prospect Arts Fundraiser at Winslow Garage, LA CA, last night. I collected local field recordings, molded into a make believe conversation between the hillside spirit and the foothill . Their language of ambience.

Wow! This ICE agent has bigger problems than just dropping his gun.

Just asking questions: why is tough guy pointing a gun at bystanders, and does he even notice that the magazine is on the ground too?

A convicted felon married to an immigrant told you that the real threat is… immigrants and felons. And half the country said, ‘Sounds legit.’ As long as they’re not white, right?

michalynnrivas delivered a honest #CupOfJoe!

Thoughts?

A long time ago, like so many POCs, I went to language school every Saturday, a typical experience for kids of immigrant parents.

This week, while researching Daini Gakuen’s archive at @jamuseum , found this picture of me in a class group shot with our teachers and others.

When I say that Newsom is trying to be a center-right Trump, this is what I mean

-𝚖𝚘𝚡 ❆ ☃︎︎ ❆ @moxiest.art · Aug 17

while smiling!

Gavin Newsom literally dressed up in his best Bad Boy™️ attire, invited the press, and smiled as he destroyed everything these constituents had in the world.

Gavin Newsom is not a bad candidate;

Gavin Newsom is truly, at his core, a bad and despicable human being.
