Democratic Socialist, proudly gay. I will not comply…I will resist. Autocracy will not win. I am not the resistance…not the opposition…I am the enemy within of bigots, Christian nationalists. All patriots are Antifa.

Hey not from Chicago friends, things are really, really bad here with ICE terrorizing neighborhoods and detaining people regardless of if they're citizens or not. But we're fighting back, and it's working. We are the blueprint for resistance with rapid response networks. Pay attention to us

I'm not Catholic, but Pope Leo calls for unity in messaging against Trump's deportation raids.

A true show of WWJD. No wonder Evangelicals don't like him.

The No Kings demonstrations haven’t even happened yet and this administration has already declared them to be hostile, violent and an act of terrorism. They’re setting the stage to attack peaceful demonstrators, but we will not be discouraged.

Klippenstein: To what extent it’s going to activate what are called Joint Terrorism Task Forces?

The military is really limited in terms of what they can do.

But these Joint Terrorism Task Forces don’t have those limitations. They can do and go places the military can’t.

All I have to say about white people worried that protesting this weekend won’t be safe: this is the safest it will be until this problem is handled. Gather thine gonads and get your ass out there (appropriate exceptions aside ofc)

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 5h

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Klippenstein: The memo says it considers as indicators things like anti-Christian sentiment, anti-government views, and anti-traditional family positions.

These are descriptors that would cover millions and millions of people in this country.

We are in a war, not of left vs. right or even too vs. bottom, but good vs. evil. Fascism has come to America, and as predicted it is wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.
Whatever your religion, atheist or agnostic…find your ‘center’ and prepare to fight.
Saturday’s protest is the opening battle.

MAGA obviously got their talking points for the week about the No Kings protests this Saturday:
*Hate America Rally
*Pro Hamas Rally
*Antifa (they got one right)
They are trying to scare you not to protest. Do not obey in advance and give up your first amendment rights.
No bending, breaking or bows.
