ICE executed legal observer and VA nurse Alex Pretti today. ICE exists to kidnap children & murder Americans. They must be abolished, & those complicit in their crimes must be brought to justice.

I am from Missouri and do politics for my job, and am just now learning of this sit-in to protest attempted RW seat-stealing.
I didn’t know about this, and if I didn’t know about this, then you probably didn’t either.

This should be my entire feed and it’s not and that’s a problem

This sit in has now been going on over 48 hours and I am just hearing about it now

C’mon folks 19 states are facing occupation, let’s make sure this toolkit makes it around BlueSky 🤗 WE are the resistance!
Trump is militarizing our streets to cover up his failing legitimacy: the tanking economy, the Epstein files, and his wildly unpopular ICE kidnappings.

Read our Resistance Toolkit now at bit.ly/resistancetoolkit, and share it widely. LFG rebel alliance!

Over 100 of us got together in front of the office of Palantir in Georgetown, Wash DC today to call for the defunding of this org due to its surveillance & deportation, & otherwise surveilling our private data, among many other things. There was a tremendous amount of support from passersby.
