On Feb. 18th, I hoped that we could hit a milestone 11 million people - #11Mstrong - to cross the threshold described by Dr. Chenoweth.

If estimates are accurate, we may have reached this number today! June 14th!

But folks, this is not the end, it's the beginning. We march on, patriots! 🇺🇸 🦆

The American Duck 🇺🇲🦆 @theamericanduck.bsky.social · Feb 19

I want this to be our new mantra.

#11Mstrong

11 Million Americans. That's an easily achievable number. 5.5 Million here on BlueSky, and then bring a friend along.

Let's organize nationwide. Strike, boycott, Walkout. Tag it.

#11Mstrong

Re-post if you agree, let's show them.

We can overcome fascism!

Please watch scholar & expert, Dr. Chenoweth, explain her findings showing sustained nonviolent civil resistance is far more successful than violent campaigns.

We only need 3.5% (11.7 million) of our population to achieve our objectives.

I am trying to imagine how Democrats could possibly botch the midterms on the message

"the GOP cut children's cancer research so they could build a party room at the White House for the rich to dance in".

“.. They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world’s most repressive regimes.”

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

Over 170 U.S. Citizens Illegally Kidnaped By Immigration Agents.

Kicked, Dragged, Held Incommunicado, and Detained for Days

More than 20 citizens were illegally denied a phone call their loved ones or a lawyer.

In some cases their families couldn’t find them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.
