#MariaGreeley was surrounded, seized and zip-tied by ICE masked agents without cause. ICE determined she was an undocumented immigrant because she didn’t “look like” a Greeley. Greeley was born in IL & adopted.

She had her US passport on her when she was detained.

He's been on paid leave ever since she filed for a protective order alleging domestic abuse last June.

New from 404 Media: police used a nationwide network of Flock cameras to search for a woman who self-administered an abortion, said it was for her 'safety'. But new docs show they considered charging her with a crime as part of a 'death investigation' into the fetus

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Alright, Cascadia.

First things first: there’s some Lists/Feeds that people can follow to stay up to date with what’s happening in the PNW. Going to make a thread. If you have accounts that should be added to the list, let me know. Tag them. I’ll add them so everyone can find what they need.

Authoritarians use fear. Do not cave to fear. Remember that there are far more of us than there are of them. Also remember that caving to fear only emboldens them and makes things worse. That happened when elected officials and institutions folded under the pressure. Find friends. Locally. Organize.

We’re eight days away from No Kings Day, and we have 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world.

October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — and we want to see you there. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 5d

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

On the 18th we need to be vigilant for increased violence and provocation by both law enforcement and counter-protestors, both of which will be used to try to justify more violence and authoritarianism.
