“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, "I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling."

please don’t let yourself be hardened by these videos - it may not be happening in your community yet but they are coming for you

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

I am not a lawyer or a politician. I am but a lowly teacher with too much debt to even think about going back to school. But if I could, I would make it my life’s work to find every one of these evil motherfuckers and put them in prison.

Every.
Single.
One.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 3d

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Let me be clear, that 15 year old CHILD will be TRAUMATIZED over this. Even the Mafia says “no women-no children”. WTF!!!

This now has become something way bigger. The question is, what are WE going to do?

Something NEEDS to stop this. It makes me physically ill.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.
