If I ever get man-handled by ICE or HSI or other Gestapo thugs because I’m asking questions, I’m screaming kidnapping. If they refuse to identify themselves and show me a judicial warrant I will not let them take me only to be disappeared. I suggest you all do the same. Call it what it is.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Help us bring more people in. The more support we have, the quicker we can mobilize to build infrastructure, to strengthen mutual aid, to create food distribution solutions, to build up strike funds and the resources to publicize the General Strike more effectively. #GeneralStrike

handsoff2025.com. We need as many people as possible to show up across the country. At least 3.5% of the population to use right to protest to keep all our other rights.
Hands Off!
Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the stre...

State Police described the event as a “mix of ideological demonstrations.”

If we cant focus protests to a single issue, then we can’t be effective at saving democracy.

Call it what it is - a coup.

I'm thinking Anthropic (Claude AI) is trying to warn us with their list of prohibited uses. ❗
For example: "Analyze or identify specific content to censor on behalf of a government organization." It's a long list!

Any laws against these yet?
Who is already using AI for this type of surveillance?

Work on your private data security now before you go around planning to protest - just in case.
Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.

The erasure of the Jan. 6 records comes while the administration is also seeking to whitewash the teaching of U.S. history, threatening to withhold funds from schools that teach about America’s troubled history of racial and gender discrimination.

If you are in any level of government, share your story. National media is not getting the local stories because leaders don’t want to “get political”. Will you share?
Last week the Your Local Epidemiologist team released a survey on how the federal freezes are impacting your work.

The survey received over 3,000 responses, here are a few stories that were shared. See the full report here:

Change the narrative from victim to fighter. We need to keep calling these actions what they are - crimes - out and keep filing lawsuits!

Interesting take. Anyone know an account tracking all the ways they are losing at the takeover attempt?
💯 Tr*mp/Musk want to gaslight us into believing they have unlimited power; they don't. Fascism ONLY succeeds if people think there's no alternative. Our job is to show how weak they actually are...that they are ALREADY being stopped.

Can you imagine getting this letter? Government employees (govies) from local to feds are pretty demoralized if they are paying any attention, even in “blue” states.
ICYMI:

Acting Deputy Attorney General, Emil Bove, has instructed the FBI to provide, by Noon on Feb. 4th, a list of FBI employees who were involved in Jan. 6th cases.

The Acting FBI Director and Acting Deputy Director sent out a memo Friday night that noted the following:
