Don't be afraid to be afraid. No one ever did anything courageous when they weren't afraid and were gonna need a whole lot of courage.

It's early in the day and the Villages retirement community in Florida is already showing up for the #nokings protests
Alaska electeds piss off Alaska natives at their own peril. Sullivan should have known that already.
Protesters stand and turn their backs to US Sen. Dan Sullivan during his address to the Alaska Federation of Natives conference.

Signs read: "Medicaid Matters" + "Public radio saves lives"

Sullivan does not acknowledge or stop speaking

As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

I'm not joking if news showed up that it happened at 11.59 pm in Berlin at 12.00 i would be in line in full leather at kit kat to drop my entire bank account
Maybe it'll happen today
I only know about this because people were skeeting about it. All of their accounts were automuted as soon as they started posting. Mute/block lists are amazing.
trying to trigger the libs by setting up bullshit government accounts is pathetic even by their own low standards. it's two clicks to auto block all of you at once, dumbasses

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.
NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

What the damn hell, @govpritzker.illinois.gov?
After 8 a.m., Illinois State and Broadview Police let protesters into Beach Street according to witnesses. Then a slew of baton-wielding ISP officers entered the street, forced protesters off the street & arrested multiple people. Now folks r on sidewalks

Colin Boyle is a photo journalist for @blockclubchi.bsky.social I believe his first hand account of what's happening at Broadview. @govpritzker.illinois.gov Why is IL utilizing IL State Troopers against people protesting ICE taking our neighbors? Didn't YOU tell us to resist & use our voices?

Again, religion note: the woman in blue with her hands bound (circled in red in these photos by me) appears to be Rev. Hannah Kardon, a Chicago-area Methodist minister.

While not seen in these photos, she is wearing a clerical collar.

I thought Pritzker's argument was that ISP was there to protect Illinois folks FROM violence....Does he have anything to say?

Trump's corruption of DOJ has become so ham-handed and buffoonish that it may end up failing precisely because he and his allies are confessing to all of it so publicly.

On the pod, legal scholar Matt Seligman is very profound on this point. Remarkable stuff from him

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Hell of an editor's note.
Then there's Russ Taylor. "It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement."

(Editor's note: Taylor was plead guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack. He was later pardoned by Trump.)

If I were the governor of a state, I would not be taking pride in needing a federal occupation of my second largest city.

I would also not lie to the public by suggesting that my second largest city needs a federal occupation.
Gov. Bill Lee says Trump’s military-police occupation of Memphis “may never end.”

“We have just begun. We do know this is going to last for months… In fact, I will tell you that it will last forever.”
Oh, fuck you autocorrect.
