Mainers all over the state said "NO KINGS!" today in resounding numbers.

Not to shabby a turnout for a state with only 1.4M people in the whole state.

Such an important presentation. It’s not just that every nonviolent protest campaign above 3.5% of population prevails, it’s that it succeeds by winning consensus through demonstration, a method that de-escalates violence and reinforces the foundations of healthy democracy.

The people in this video being violently abducted whilst in line to pickup their children at an elementary school in Chicago were eventually released AFTER THEY SHOWED THEIR PAPERS.

This is Trump’s America.

Re-sharing & asking you to amplify: Every single fact about the South Shore federal raid just days ago is worse than the last. They kicked in doors & dragged Chicago families out in the middle of the night. I know we're all stressed but THIS IS VERY BAD blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/02/s...
