For protests, but *especially* 10/18:
* Do NOT bring any sort of weapon!
* Do NOT engage with hecklers or agitators
* Do NOT feed the propaganda: avoid the "I am Antifa" or "I'm a paid protester" signs or any suggestion of violence
* DO focus signs on No Kings, Melt ICE, Due Process, Healthcare etc.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

We are here together.

Be with us on October 18.

Thank you to @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social for this and to @fcnl.bsky.social to bringing it to light.

First they came for the immigrants and refugees and I spoke up
because immigrants and refugees are our neighbors.

Then they came for transgender people and I spoke up
because transgender people are our neighbors.

Then they came for the poor and the vulnerable and I spoke up
because the poor and vulnerable are our neighbors.

Then they came for the aid workers, the federal workers, and the civil servants and I spoke up
because they too are our neighbors.

They came for the students, the teachers, and the universities and I spoke up
because they too are our neighbors.

Then they came for us and we spoke up because we are here together

Rieckhoff: A vet on CNN said we haven’t fought to win in 20 years. I said, I was fighting to win. You were fighting to win.

Kander: That shit pisses me off.

Rieckhoff: He said he meant the generals. Which one? It’s boogeymen—and now cosplay warriors who never served join ICE to bully immigrants.

Our so-called leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke. Even though Kimmel has returned on Disney and in some markets, Sinclair and Nexstar continue to preempt his show in others. You know what that means!?

Connecticut must be a safe and welcoming place for all of us, regardless of immigration status. Your office MUST not sit idly by while our neighbors are terrorized and abducted. We will remember who was silent and complicit in fascism and who stood on the right side of history.” 7/7
