Posting ICE at the voting polls would be illegal. The former “National Ballot Security Taskforce” of 1981 was banned thereafter.

In 1981 a ‘task force’ intimidated voters at the polls. Will Republicans revert to their old tactics? Donald Trump has threatened to send in poll watchers to monitor voting on 3 November, but is the party capable of such a threat?

Sending ICE to the polls would duplicate this illegality.

In 1981, I represented Jim Florio in Mercer County, NJ for the Governor’s race.
Republicans formed “The National Ballot Security Taskforce”,posting off-duty cops at the polls. They wore firearms.
I obtained a restraining Order.
A Consent Decree followed, nationally lasting 25 years.

What more can I say?

Ugly America

What happened to America The Beautiful?
Years ago, we had a new president who provided entertainment by ridiculing the disabled and the disadvantaged.
He was a hit as an answer to All In The Family.
It’s time for a new act.

Non-violent Direct Action.

In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: (1) Collection of the facts to determine whether injustices are alive; (2) Negotiation; (3) Self-purification; and (4) Direct action.

Make no mistake.

Trump intends to declare Martial Law.

Don’t take the bait.

WE NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY ICE AGENTS ARE PARDONED JAN 6ERS

That should be Demanded by DEMOCRATS before any funding is given.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..

Military Occupation Of An American City

Trump sent armed forces into Minneapolis.

The People responded peacefully, forcefully, in unison.

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support & defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic..”

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

ICE inspires in the same way as dog shit.

America refuses to be like The Titanic.

Alex Pretti is an example to us all.
Numbers win out.
We need millions of us to be brave enough to follow his example.

Satire is powerful.
Let’s find ways to ridicule ICE and Trump.

The Trump govt lies.
The People tell the truth.

Making Trump look as ridiculous as he is overwhelms him.

That’s a better way.

OUTRAGE

The People have collectively changed national policy.

We can avoid Trump’s plan for martial law and authoritarianism.

The People United Can Never Be Defeated.

MN has amazing Human Resources. They are most impressive.

Please share. 💔

Friends—
When Twitter was knocked off by Musk, using X, I was stymied from using social media. I lost contacts. On top of that, I became ill.
Now, I have discovered BlueSky and I am returning.
Please include me in your list of friends if you did so previously.
Thank you!

Based on Gandhi’s principles of Satyagraha (truth-force/nonviolent resistance) and Ahimsa (nonviolence), his approach to combating ICE would focus on non-cooperation, moral pressure, and the willing acceptance of suffering to highlight injustice.

The composition of ICE confirms Trump’s plan to transition to an Authoritarian gov’t for America.
They’re secret police w/protocols unlike genuine law enforcement entities. They’re mostly white Christian males.
Its aggression is designed to prompt demonstrations requiring dispatch of martial law.

I am very impressed by the people of Minnesota.

ICE is unlike any law enforcement agency in America.
Masks?
No identification?
No warning?
No arrest?
A shot to kill?
10 more shots?

We need Congress to investigate, now!

Dept of Homeland Security is a huge slush fund used to create an opportunity to declare Martial Law. city by city.

Its funding should be separated from other departments so can refuse to renew.

A lot of people in sub-zero weather.

Please interview the mayor and Minneapolis police chief on your show. Also mayor of St. Paul.
They are suing Homeland Security. Gov. Walz, as well.

Thanks. Let’s stick with BlueSky DM.

Protestors gathered in DC’s Chinatown district to stand in solidarity with Minnesota’s general strike today. The nation is following MN’s example.
