Two things: 1. The purpose of these visa checks is to reduce any sort of dissent against the Trump administration globally. 2. Social media posts that reflect "hostile attitudes our citizens, culture, government or institutions" would disqualify the majority of Trump admin officials.

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

Important thread on the whole “Trump didn’t really win the election” thing. Basically: No convincing evidence and a lot of things pointing to this being a poorly constructed hoax that takes advantage of people’s anxieties and (understandable) wishes that there had been a different outcome.

Everyone complaining abou Dems not fighting hard enough need to give folks like Brad Lander, Alex Padilla, and Chris Van Hollen their flowers when they risk their personal safety to fight fascism. You need carrots to go with your sticks.

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

70,000 people marched through Seattle at the No Kings rally. It was loud, it was huge, and it was only a start. While downtown swelled with speeches, ICE tear-gassed protesters in Tukwila. Showing up once isn’t enough. The fight doesn’t end when the march does.
