Trying to do right in a screwed up world. I cover protests and things. Bit of a miscreant. In my defense, I was left unsupervised. (she/her/Antifa)

I remain interested in the dwindling National Guard presence here in DC, while well aware that ICE/feds are still terrorizing residents.

So far today, saw three NG on the platform at Gallery Place metro.

Did a thorough search of Union Station and only spotted one NG. I assume they have a partner.

A single, solitary National Guard talks to the driver of a white shuttle bus outside Union Station. It’s sunny and the blue sky is clear.

Sunlight filters in and illuminates the glorious arched ceiling at Union Station. Rows of octagons run along the arched ceiling, a gold circle in the center of each one. A row of stone statues, their backs turned to the camera, overlook the main concourse.

A couple of police (I think Amtrak police), standard for Union Station, and one police dog who looks to be an older lab mix. They’re still a good dog, despite working for the police.

The southwest corner of Union Station, where the escalators go down to the Metro. Lots of stone arches are visible, but not a single National Guard.

ALWAYS ANTIFASCIST released this notice to us:

*Flash mob Dance protest near the White House* at 2 PM Sat Oct 11 BLM Plaza. Music and speeches, but mostly just dancing. Why? We are dancing to call their BS.
*Planned by an ad hoc group of long-term organizers.*

Folks playing some thematic standoff music now.

Really just cannot express how non-threatening this small group of neighbors appears at the moment, and how absurd this massive police presence appears in comparison.

As you fight ICE in your neighborhoods, always look for potentially positive outcomes to counterbalance your anger and despair. For me this continues to be meeting more neighbors, talking to more neighbors, and finding that others close by have also been fighting in ways I was unaware of.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I can't describe how pissed off this makes me. To put in perspective: the Democratic party has negotiated with the fascist MAGA party to take away more rights in the continuing American trans genocide to fund the military occupation of our cities in preparation of martial law.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 1d

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.

Here's the thing. Over the last few days people have wanted to discourse, or play lawyer, or be petty and weird with minutia

Whatever.

It's real simple to me.

Link being permanently banned is wrong. That decision should be reversed.

Period.

It would be super duper cool if, in the face of fascist threats, our Mayor & City Council stood up to defend the people that live in this city.

It’s almost like… they also want to criminalize unhoused people & Black young people in the city 🧐

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason.

We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

I donated some copies of Let This Radicalize You for distribution at an ICE watch training for folks who want to join school patrols in a nearby neighborhood. Not everyone got a copy, because 120 people showed up for that training tonight. I am endlessly proud of Chicago.

A display of copies of Let This Radicalize You on a table in front of a sign that reads: "Let This Radicalize You offers stories, strategy and heart for the kind of collective care and resistance we're building together today. It helps us move from reacting to organizing. Showing how ordinary people protect each other, build power, and keep hope alive. Take a copy. Read it. Stay connected."

Pleased to see both my senators on there after I called their offices and spoke to people in person instead of leaving a message, asking them to shut the govt down and keep it down rather than vote for any bill that attacks trans people.

1. A new journal report in the prestigious Medical Journal of Australia eviscerates the Cass review, saying it is filled with fallacies and launders anti-trans disinformation.

It methodically goes through each problem in the review.
