NO KINGS in Long Beach. So proud of our city for turning out and opposing Trump. People are fired up and tons of YES support for Prop 50. Let’s go!

soooo beautiful 😍
Hope, indeed

Hundreds of protesters line a beach park, with palm trees and an apartment building in the distance

Great turn out in Long Beach- and there are more rallies to follow today.
A great day

🤦‍♀️

CREEPY!

For Tolkien fans, a timely passage for No Kings Eve, from WH Auden’s review of Lord of the Rings.

Happy NO KINGS DAY

Head of the U.S. Military’s Southern Command Is Stepping Down, Officials Say

[Thread] There's been a flurry of defections across society this week showing the breadth of actors and institutions that have defied and defected from the Trump regime this week.

1) Military commander leading Southern Command steps down rather than oversee attacks on boats in Caribbean:

Beautiful

Some good news.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

Ismael Ayala-Uribe's death while in ICE custody was a preventable tragedy. His pleas for help were ignored by those responsible for his care until it was too late. I’m demanding answers and accountability from ICE, joined by 31 of my colleagues.

#WeAreEverywhere

Time to focus our rage on getting this tiny, angry, Nazi prick out of government and into prison!

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

They actively recruited thugs.
We got thugs.

Each semester I share clips from @pbs.org 2013 Latino Americans series.

I get emotional each and every time.

The episode Empire of Dreams was essential for my novel DISPOSSESSED

There's always tomorrow.

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

What drives me nuts about this dialogue: diversity and inclusion training was a corporate response to the statutory requirements civil rights laws. None of these laws have been repealed by Congress. Congress can pass the laws under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment, which has also not been repealed.

Going to cleanse w antifa music:
The Sound of Music
Written by those woke agents of chaos
Rogers and Hammerstein

Current administration's theme song:
"Don't be stupid, be a smarty,
Come and join the anti antifa party"

Listening to @timothysnyder.bsky.social who reminds us the anti-fascists in Weimar Germany were Social Democrats who wanted:

Rule of law
Democratic elections
Freedom of expression
To stop Hitler coming to power.

They lost.

I'm anti-fascist, aren't you?

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Thich Nhat Hanh:
This, my dear, is the greatest challenge to being alive:
To witness injustice in the world and not allow it to consume our light.
