I only managed 17 (I don't count NYC, since I only was at the airport there).

Trump is trying to provoke a response so that he can invoke the Insurrection Act. Then it is "game over" for democracy.
A difficult situation because doing nothing invites a slide to fascism. So, non-violence and humor (some of the antics used in Portland) will help.

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

I will be watching for it . . . have the "25 Years . . . " boxed set already!
