ICE is in Fremont's SUNDALE neighborhood TODAY conducting "Knock and Talks" according to Fremont City Manager's office. Stay vigilant and Know Your Rights.

ICE agents are in uniform and unmarked vehicles. “Knock and Talks” focus on specific individuals and seek voluntary cooperation.

#BREAKING: The Trump administration is asking #SCOTUS for an immediate “administrative” stay of a Rhode Island district judge’s order that is otherwise requiring it to resume the distribution of SNAP benefits from other funding sources no later than the end of today.

What We Can Do About ICE ICE is in the Bay Area. And yes, we can all do something about it.

The threats are real, but so is our power. ICE relies on fear and isolation. We can counter with preparation and solidarity.

COYOTE has put together an evolving list of resources and tips for immigrants and their allies — for our current era and for all the difficult times to come.

"'The federal administration, of course, has escalated its rhetoric and its enforcement posture in the Bay Area,' Lee said. 'We know border patrol agents are being stationed on the Coast Guard Island, but let me be clear, we are fully prepared.'"

If you have direct knowledge of DHS operations in the San Francisco Bay Area, and want to share what you know with the media, get at me on Signal or in a DM here. My email is darwin@oaklandside.org

A New Kind of Neighborhood Watch Sonoma County’s ‘Adopt a Corner’ program aims to protect undocumented day laborers from ICE.

You can also check out this @coyotemedia.org writeup of Adopt A Corner work if you want a quick overview of what's involved before you dive in:

Democracy won’t survive on silence A general strike is not chaos; it is citizenship. If we pause the machine, we see who really makes America run Organize. Refuse fear. Power serves us only when we use ours #LaborIsCitizenship Read more:

These Aren’t Kids And Hate And Misogyny Aren’t Funny!

via @moveon.org:

Can protests really make a difference right now? YES.

They build courage. When people see so many others in the streets, it gives them permission to speak up in their own lives—with family, at work, in their communities.

Courage truly is contagious.

WTAF?! Republicans and their freakin' conspiracy theory delusions while they cut funding for cancer research and actual public health threats.

Senator JD Vance warned against weaponizing the IRS.

Vice President JD Vance is getting ready to weaponize the IRS.

Trump’s illegal meddling is one of the many reasons why millions of Americans will take to the streets on Saturday. We hope to see you there: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

This is the best way to respond to Trump’s authoritarianism. It shows in black and white that he’s lying (again). This should be the example to be done nationwide.

Mike Johnson sent everyone home & refuses to talk to Democrats.

“There’s absolutely no reason for the House to be out of session,” said GOP Rep. Kevin Kiley.

He’s stalling Adelita Grivalja’s swearing in to avoid a vote on the Epstein files.

Most people get fired for not doing their job.

This 👇🏼is OUR flag!! 🇺🇲
I will be out on Saturday for OUR flag!
I refuse to let them take OUR flag and bastardize it any longer! I'll be sporting MY stars and stripes at #NoKings

Be as courageous as you can and PUSH THE FUCK BACK!!

Opinion | I resigned from the military because of Trump I could not swear to follow a commander in chief who seems so willing to disregard the Constitution.

"I voluntarily gave up my rank as the president suggested...I have no regrets about my decision. I have given up the service I loved for the freedom to do the right thing, the freedom to speak my mind and the freedom to speak in defense of our country."

ICE consistently violates the rights of Americans by assaulting & kidnapping people for singing, playing music, & peacefully protesting.

This administration is focused on normalizing violence against peaceful protestors by ice to instill fear & silence dissent.
