The threats are real, but so is our power. ICE relies on fear and isolation. We can counter with preparation and solidarity.

COYOTE has put together an evolving list of resources and tips for immigrants and their allies — for our current era and for all the difficult times to come.

What We Can Do About ICE

ICE is in the Bay Area. And yes, we can all do something about it.

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

I thought this was brilliant: a great introduction to the problems of The Free Press (and what the CBS acquisition represents), and John Oliver as energized as he's ever been. youtu.be/gieTx_P6INQ?...

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Three things:
1. Science is amazing.
2. Who came up with this idea. How? Why? Were they high? (I have so many questions about this part actually.)
3. I think I was happier not knowing this was a thing.

Just got yogurt out of the fridge, got some fruit too, and then spent several minutes looking for the yogurt in the fridge.

I had no wish for him to be murdered, but I’ll harshly judge anyone who flies their flag at half staff for that hateful extremist or talks about honoring his memory. There was no honor in his life.
