Virginia 50501 Movement

Incredible!!! The international support has been amazing! Thank you to our #Canadian friends who helped put pressure on J.P. as well to cause a formal withdraw of the sale less than 48 hours after the protests in Virginia. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼 #resist #50501virginia #indivisble #iceoutnow

Nearly 1,000 people fill a large auditorium in NYC to get trained with Hands Off NYC.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social held an at-capacity training today for nearly 1,000 New Yorkers, covering Know Your Rights, ICE Watch, and organizing & mobilizing strategies. Then, they connected everyone to local neighborhood groups so they can work together to protect their neighbors. We’re going to win.

🚨🪧Action Today at 5pm, rally starts at 5:30pm! We’ll be at the Hanover Board of Supervisors to let them know how we feel about ICE sending a letter of intent to building an ICE processing detention center in Hanover. (Additional details in our Insta, Facebook, & Reddit)

Don't spend these valuable moments in despair. As the enduring voice of James Baldwin reminds us:

"I never have been in despair about the world. I’ve been enraged by it. I don’t think I’m in despair. I can’t afford despair." 🧵/end

Another life ended, another family in pain, another community in turmoil.

It is precisely during these horrific moments that we must remember that we are not powerless. The regime would not rush to spread their vile propaganda if they did not fear a united populace. (3/5)

Alex was an ICU RN. He was a federal worker who cared for veterans at the VA. He was a union member, a legal gun owner, a US Citizen, and a helper. He spent some of his last moments trying to protect another human from assault. (2/5)

By now we've all seen the video of the cowardly, bumbling, murderous mob of federal agents executing Alex Jeffrey Pretti in the streets of Minneapolis.

Hello! No software at the moment, volunteers, radio communication and clicker counters that are confirmed by watching video and counting after has been our current method.

The headline is all you need to know.

The stats show this isn't about arresting immigrants with criminal records.

Th Age of Billionairs will end. What side of history will you be on? We stand with the Workers and Immigrants who make this country great. We outnumber them, won’t stop until all are free and the files are released.

Possibly might be @richmondlegalfund.bsky.social ? There are several courthouse watch organizers in VA.

9/9 And don’t forget: Trump is in the Epstein files.

See you in the streets.

8/ Support Free DC if you’re in the area and nationwide, loudly support Washington, DC statehood.

7/ We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: we will not let fear divide us, cowardice divide us, or threats deter us.

6/ Because to assume such things would reveal a staggering ignorance of the movement this coalition has built and the deep veins of courage and resolve it tapped into.

5/ Did these servile sycophants truly expect the millions of Americans who’ve filled the streets to reject the evidence of their eyes and ears? Did the faux tyrant occupying the White House actually believe the people of Washington D.C. would ignore the militarized takeover of their home?

4/ We are proud to stand in solidarity with @freedcproject.bsky.social, 50501 DC, and all of our friends, partners, and allies in the area.

Yet here in Virginia, we have questions. Did this bogus regime really assume this movement would remain silent?

3/ Just ask Glenn Youngkin, who allowed the Administration to drop his name today during a clown car press conference in order to legitimize their cruel and careless policy.

2/ Nor are any of the American cities the Trump Regime has threatened with invasion and occupation. But facts have never stopped an authoritarian, no amount of data or statistics have ever given a fascist pause, and no level of political appeasement has ever satisfied a tyrant.

🧵 50501 Virginia’s Statement on the Authoritarian Invasion of Washington D.C. Our friends with 50501 DC said it best: “our city is not a war zone.”

Neither was Los Angeles in June.

Today and everyday we stand with the fine citizens of Washington DC.
Whatever the orange man blusters, we still asking… where the files bro? Seems to be trying real hard to distract from that.

See attached w/supervisor’s link. Sheriff’s Dept has no comment.

THIS MUST STOP.
