🧵The graphics in this thread could save a life. ICE, HSI, & CBP are detaining people without cause aka kidnapping, refusing to ID themselves, and violating constitutional rights. We must protect our people. Share these graphics. Help our communities know their rights—and use them. #OnYourSide

It’s very clear that young, amoral tech bros are playing a huge role in the Drumpf/Elon/Project 2025 coup against our democracy. THUS all tech folk with a conscience need to speak AND act NOW to defend our democracy. Of course, @phillytechweek is a good place to start.

Question For @npr.org spokeskaren Kelly McBride: is today’s outpouring “compelling” enough? Or must someone or something get broken to pique your interest?

❌ Whining about how protests don't change anything. ❌ Whining that it took people too long to join. ✅ Reading up on multi-pronged approaches to resisting to fascism. ✅ Going to the next protest on April 19, and bringing a friend or neighbor ✅ Doing a different kind of action between now and then!

This month, our Philadelphia Eagles are set to “celebrate” with a (racist, con man, convicted sex abuser) President who’s attacking Philadelphia’s economy, institutions and citizens. The Birds “celebrating”in Trump’s fascist White House? Not good.Please SIGN and SHARE this petition. Don’t GO, Birds!

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Thought for Ivy college admins: locate and list the offspring of every oligarch/republican / Silicon Valley that’s enrolled in yr schools. Advise BoneSpurs and Leon that these nepo babies will be gently kicked to the curb if full Fed funding isn’t restored by (Date).

Musk thinks he’s king of America and it’s a crime to even name his employees who are currently destroying the federal government.

A Surrealist Hex against @realdonaldtrump was completed to-day at 12 Noon. Such a Hex depends upon the Hex Target’s own ignorance of Science + Art + Love to take effect, thus Notifications are important.

This post outlines a hex that uses a wristwatch — it is not magic, but a Surrealist Action, notifying the Hex Target enlists them as performers in the work.
