No Kings March set for Sat Oct 18 to draw 100,000s to DC opposed to Trump’s anti-democratic agenda. Organizers are seeing signups many times the expected number, potentially rivaling the Women’s March of Jan 21, 2017. A look back at that day:

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

If Dems win in 2026, we need hearings to publicize the abuses by federal law enforcement. Then pass a bill creating a path to sue for those abuses. Trump will veto it. Let him. Let the public see these videos & hear from victims, & then learn there's no way to hold the abusive officers accountable.

US District Judge Karin Immergut issued a second temporary restraining order barring deployment of Natl Guard to Oregon from ANY State. Her prior TRO issued two days ago barred Texas NG. Trump appointed Judge Immergut in 2018. She was confirmed in 2019.

Trump tried to end-run a federal judge's ruling blocking the deployment of the Oregon National Guard by sending the *California* National Guard to Portland.

A hearing will begin imminently for a judge to decide whether to block him again.

IL state troopers are already pushing non-violent demonstrators out of the street and away from the ICE facility. One arrest so far.
