Watching the Portlanders protesting.

I was worried. He wants violence. I know you folks will fight but that is playing his game. You can't out-violence them.

So you are having a dance party. So freakin smart. I love you all. Ya'll got this.

Stay safe enough.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Keep chipping away at isolated events. It will take more than this to guard against huge raids with helicopters, heavy military equipment, and force by numbers, but zip-tying toddlers?

It is BRAVE OF US to confront this regime.
It is BRAVE OF US to fight for our communities.
It is BRAVE OF US to move heaven and earth for our families.
It is BRAVE OF US to speak out.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enough— and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.

An adult, no longer a child. Making informed decisions about her cause and a strategy to promote it.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 4d

Not the most important thing, but it’s past time to drop the “poor little girl” routine with Greta Thunberg. She’s in her 20s, been in the public eye for nearly a decade, clearly has the courage of her convictions and is making choices in line with activist strategy. You can discuss her as an adult.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.
