Listen to this. Angela (@parkroseperma.bsky.social), referencing HCR's recent talk, makes crystal clear the power of non-violent resistance to halt this regime in its tracks. She is absolutely right.
Preach it, sister!

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Remember how ICE claimed they were rammed by 10 vehicles and had to shoot a woman 7 times? Turns out, her lawyer has footage of a federal SUV slamming into the woman's vehicle, getting out, yelling "do something, bitch!" and opening fire.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney alleged...

Share this widely, & in Republican media circles if you can. Right-wing talking heads are incessantly repeating the lie that "millions of illegals are getting Medicare and Medicaid" and that's why Dems want the govt shutdown - so that can continue. It's pure bullshit but there's no push-back to it.

Watch how Senator Mark Kelly absolutely dismantles Peter Doocy’s line of questioning about the government shutdown and healthcare subsidies. Doocy tries his usual gotcha, but Kelly forces the conversation back to what’s at stake for everyday Americans.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

They want to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to fucking Eswatini-a spec of a country at the bottom of the African continent, between South Africa and Mozambique. Halfway around and all the way down the world from his home in MD or even South America.
Can we say "petty vindictiveness"? Sure we can.

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · 16h

Lawyer for Kilmar Abrego Garcia: The Supreme Court held that the immigration system is a civil system. The only permissible purpose for immigration detention is to carry out a removal. That's clearly not what's happening here. If they wanted to carry out a removal they would have removed him already

@parkroseperma.bsky.social - have you seen this? Reminds me of your talking about undermining the pillars of support for this fascist machine. Seems like this is on that track.

This is brilliant, not only cause this engages more mainstream religious folk against what is essentially a Christofascist maneuver, but also because--insofar as these chants are sincere---love always wins.

“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”

RNS @rns.org · 1d

The pastors’ efforts are part of rising faith-based pushback to the Trump administration as the president seeks to implement plans for mass deportation of immigrants.
