Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

An extraordinary document. Read it.
“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

as the thread notes, this is not just a one day demonstration but two months of action including ICE observer training/best practices and an emphasis on building mutual aid resilience in our communities
The next No Kings Day is March 28. Save the date, but don’t sit back and wait. Here are a few things you can do right now:
1) Call your senators and demand they rein in ICE. With a crucial Senate vote expected later this week, Democrats must hold the line to block more funding for ICE and CBP.

Today in Bari’ing the news:
CBS was the only network newscast to not do a field report on GA tonight, instead offering just a 15-second studio tag at the end of another DC segment.
OTOH, CBS did a 2-minute story on “Trump” accounts, with a softball Bessent interview. No other net covered it.

i can confirm the chats I’m in which include renowned security specialists - people who actually advise on how to protect your comms from authoritarian dictators for a living - also think this outburst of paranoia about Signal is really weird and unwarranted
every Signal chat of laypeople is losing their minds over the wildest opsec advice imaginable and every Signal chat of security professionals is like “dude wtf”
The vast majority of problems can be avoided by not being foolish, being aware of your surroundings, and using common sense

I don’t live in New York but surely there’s SOMEONE who can run against this dipshit
As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).
The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.
