There could be solid ICE counter-recruitment campaigns launched to discourage people from working for them and to encourage those working for them to quit. There are lots of examples of such campaigns from anti-war organizing.

State police just made a push, forcing people back north into the intersection - and into the path of oncoming local traffic. *Not one* of all these cops is currently doing traffic control, at least not so far as I can see.

The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.

Hi, what's more divisive, wanting liberation for Black and brown Palestinians or the nazis of the IDF committing crimes against humanity? No Kings is about solidarity for all. Not for a few here in America. Oppressors are not ever welcome. And go ahead and block me. You deserve shame.

the admin joining bluesky is another great reminder:

do not take pictures at protests and post them on social media,

do not show faces in photos at protests, and

learn how to obscure metadata

They joined Bluesky because they can’t live without your attention. They don’t want to govern, they don’t even really want to “win” in a conventional sense, they just want to play online all day owning libs and it drives them crazy when they lose access to your one wild and precious life.

By all means, go protest this weekend. But BE SAFE, listen to experienced organizers, DON'T RSVP, WEAR A MASK, and turn biometrics off on your phone if you must bring it.

And if you're arrested protesting in IL, I will represent as many people as I can pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

MAGA folks don’t understand that the culture of Bluesky involves everyone just blocking people they don’t like without any engagement.

They think they’re “shadowbanned” by some unseen force from above.

I'm shadowbanned on bluesky. As soon as you say anything remotely conservative, you get shadowbanned and no one can see your posts there. I can't even make fun of these folks there.

New York's Richest Ask 'how Dare He?' as Mamdani Closes In on City Hall
The city's 1% realize their influence is waning: It's hard to be chill and relaxed'

It was just after finishing a set of pelvic floor exercises that a Pilates instructor on the Upper East Side recently brought up one of the least popular men in the neighborhood: New York City
mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani,.

All of a sudden the class, which costs $50 a pop, became something of a political confab. In between sets, some women strategized about helping former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo,
who they see as more palatable, pull off an upset. Others gushed about a recent New York Post cover depicting Gov. Kathy Hochul, who had recently endorsed Mamdani, as a devotee of Mao Zedong.

New York's richest residents can't stop talking about Mamdani, the Democratic nominee. To many of the city's uber-wealthy, his sustained
popularity has been a shock. The 33-year-old, self. described Democratic Socialist is the overwhelming favorite to win City Hall next month, on a platform that includes free buses and free child care--programs that, the moneyed
are well aware, somebody needs to shell out for.

"I hope Mamdani is going to give out free Xanax," said Caroline Leventhal, a lifelong Upper East sider who co-founded 'Mic'd and Medicated," a podcast that dissects the lifestyle of cosmetic surgeries and private ski instructors. "It's hard to
be chill and relaxed."

I mean, it's still useful to connect people who really want to do more. It's not the be all/end all solution, but it's definitely a place where lots of people will gather and talk
