I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

After 20+ years of saying Democrats were coming for your guns it’s going to be Trump who is coming for your guns and to get rid of the second amendment. This is what a wannabe dictator does. He can’t have the people he controls have guns. They could fight back if they do. Wake up MAGA.

Just got done with our hearing. We have another status hearing next month with a trial date (hopefully) in the spring.
It’s more important than ever to stand strong against ICE and with the people protesting it.
We’re fighting these charges and we’re going to win.

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE.
When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.
And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

While Gregory Bovino and the two CBP officers who shot and killed Alex Pretti have been pulled out of Minnesota, that is not justice. All three were immediately sent back out on the street in another American city to terrorize, and possibly even murder, more Americans.
