Photo looking up the snow-covered steps to the wrought iron gate of the Lamington Black Cemetery. To the right of the steps is a large stone marker with a plaque that reads, "Lamington Black Cemetery / 19th century burial grounds on the National Register of Historic Places / There are 97 identified graves here: 36 with names and 61 unknown, including former slaves and free blacks who were members of the Lamington Presbyterian Church. Remains of 5 Civil War veterans who fought heroically for the Union lie here. As you walk through the grounds, note the Bible passages on some of the markers and enjoy the feeling of peace." Beside the marker is a small flag. Beyond the wrought iron fence lies the snowy ground with modest headstones, white crosses, and flags. The sky is blue. The suns shines low in the sky. A Christmas wreath hangs on the fence.

I try to visit this black cemetery whenever I'm in the neighborhood. #BlackHistory #Cemetery #USHistory

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have.

Winter #bicycle project. Second time in my life stripping an aluminum frame down to its bare metal; the last time was an 1980s Cannondale with drop bar shifters. This time, it's the #Walmart #OzarkTrail G.1 Explorer #gravelbike.

Protest follows ICE activity near Lindenwold, NJ school bus stop The demonstration drew a crowd carrying signs and playing music, with some participants honking car horns as they passed

"U.S. Rep. Donald Norcross, a New Jersey Democrat, attended the protest, "What I saw in that video - children running away scared - this is how bad ICE is. That as soon as they heard, they ran home to their parents to see if they're OK.""

Terrorizing 10 year olds at the bus stop! ice needs to GTFO!

old newspaper clipping from The Jersey City News, Friday, August 22, 1902 featuring a headline "NEWS OF THE WHEELMEN / Major Taylor to Meet Kramer Today and Tomorrow in Championship Races. / TITLE IS AT STAKE NOW / Colored Rider May Yet Win Out-Night Races Yesterday on Two Tracks-Notes." Alongside is a cartoon of a man in a pith helmet riding some sort of fictional floating VIctorian dirigible at the front step of a wealthy person's home. Caption reads, "Tramp of the Future: 'Please, mum, can yer give a poor fellow a trifle toward gettin' a noo cylinder for his flyin' machine? This one's got so old an' rotten that there's no knowin' any minit but wot it might bust an' blow me to shivers!'"

A group of bicyclists ride down a street in Trenton, New Jersey, with the remains of an old stone church on the right and modern buildings on the left and in the distance. There are dozens of riders, many of them with signs on their back. Several have signs that read, "ICE OUT NOW". Another "POWER TO THE PEOPLE/MELT ICE". Another has an illustration of Alex Pretti, the nurse in Minnesota recently killed by federal agents with the words "WE RIDE IN UNITY/RIDE TOGETHER/STAND TOGETHER." It is winter; the street is clear but there are piles of snow on the curb.

A man in a high-viz jacket and orange helmet stands besides his bicycle. He has mounted a large,tall cardboard sign on the front of his bicycle, big enough that he's had to cut out a small rectangle at the bottom so that it clears his front wheel and a horizontal slit near the top that he can peer through while riding. The large sign has "RIDE TOGETHER" in large all caps on top, along with an illustration of cyclist Alex Pretti who was recently killed by ICE/DHS agents in Minnesota. The sign features the names of Alex Pretti, Keith Porter, Jr. and Renee Nicole Good, all killed by ICE/DHS agent. Other text "In anger", "In Rage", and "In Grief" are also on the sign. There are other cyclists around the man, listening to a speech on the steps of Trenton City Hall.

This Is America, Just Not the America You Knew Two white people were killed by ICE in Minneapolis and suddenly White America is outraged.

America is outraged after ICE killed two white people in Minneapolis.

I understand why folks are feeling afraid and angry right now. But I need you to understand something just as clearly: this is what Black America has been living with for generations.

#Winter is for hunkering down, recharging, and winter projects. What are you working on? #bicycle #bicyclelife

If you've been thinking of helping in the fight against this fascist administration, the time is now.

Groups need help with planning, logistics, communicating with local officials for permits and whatnot, marketing and promotion, public relations, sign making, public safety (including de-escalation training and other resources), social media, photography and video, writing, editing, etc...

Let's go! #nokings

These events take 100s of hours of planning and coordination to pull off successfully and safely, usually by a very small team of volunteers. If you are not already involved with your local activist group, I encourage you to join now and help make this next No Kings even bigger.

Do not engage with #bots sowing lies into the public discourse. Report them #AlexPretti

Hey #NJ let's ride for #AlexPretti and all unjustly detained, abused, neglected, and killed by #ICE.

The federal government is preventing nurses from peacefully assembling at the VA not because it is federal property but they are scared of the images of nurses peacefully assembling

Night photo of protesters marching down Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey. The protesters' backs are facing the camera as they march down the center of the street. The are carrying flags and posters, "ICE OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES", "FROM NEWARK TO MINNEAPOLIS STOP ICE TERROR", "ICE OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES". In front of the marchers, the taillights of the police motorcycles leading the march shine brightly, revealing the silhouettes of the marchers
