The arrest of Mayor Ras Baraka without cause is a wake-up call for all of us. We must recognize the danger of Trump's authoritarian tactics and stand together to fight back against his attacks on democracy and human rights.
Speak out against this blatant attempt at intimidation.

The arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is a warning sign of just how far Trump and his allies are willing to go to silence dissent. This is not normal. It’s authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

First, they arrested a sitting judge. Then they threatened a sitting Governor.
Now, they've taken it a step further by arresting a sitting mayor of Newark, NJ, Ras Baraka, who dared to stand up against their billion-dollar detention deal that's ripping families apart.

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

THANK YOU. Ppl need to stop saying he was “protesting” as that is misinformation & plays to their narrative.
Mayor Baraka & members of Congress were there LEGALLY to visit/inspect the *ILLEGAL* ICE facility that has not allowed any oversight.
NJ law bans immigration detention centers.

It’s a recalibration of economic control.
Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.
When the dust finally settles, they will own more.
The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.
People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.

This is what democracy looks like!
Just based on crowd sizes we’re seeing so far and the shear number of protests, the total number of #handsoff demonstrators could reach into the millions.
And more protests in non US countries than expected.
