Saline, Michigan, is turning out to support our country and oppose the creeping authoritarianism that threatens our freedom. Several hundred people, maybe more than 1000, are lining Michigan Ave to stand up for freedom of speech, due process, and holding elected officials accountable.

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning. This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If you’re looking for red cards to help you know what to say to ICE, your local library might be able to help. The @ypsilibrary.org has cards in Arabic, French, and Spanish in the free resource area.

The first person arrested by the Marines is an Army veteran who was on his way to work at the Veterans Administration. It appears he was arrested for crossing a yellow line which the Marines did not realize was not designed to exclude federal employees from reporting to work.

If you want to refresh yourself on best practices for protesting, I highly recommend the Electronic Frontier Foundation. They even have a printable guide you can carry with you! ssd.eff.org/module/atten...

I see this is still going around. Don't do this. This is literally, exactly the opposite of what you should do. If things are escalating, and you are uncomfortable, leave.

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

Part of what it looks like to save ourselves is for folks to take over our library, park, water and other local boards. Get leftists on there who can make decisions that benefit the working class. We can do that because few people actually pay attention to those levers of power.

A Florida sheriff warned protesters in a press conference on Thursday that "we will kill you, graveyard dead" if they throw weapons or point a gun at officers. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey made the remark at an event with local law enforcement that declared Florida as "The Anti-Riot State."

The workers who feed us are not criminals. Most have been here for decades. We need to protect the workers who are already here from being hunted down in the fields. If President Trump is in charge, these raids against farms will stop immediately.

I don't care what you think about PSL. That letter is dangerous. What Hawley is doing is setting the stage to do the same to all Left groups.
