I wanted to share this so that people know how dangerous these less lethal munitions are. I left the protest early last night to take my friend and coworker, Nick Stern, to the ER. He is having surgery this morning to remove embedded shrapnel. These protesters came to his rescue when he went down ❤️.

Saturday is the biggest protest day of the Trump Regime. If you can participate, please do.
In my inner circles I am hearing fear about being in a large crowd. Therefore, this week I will use this platform to post some history, resistance tips, and encourage as many of you as possible to show up.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
