Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.

This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.

I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Start planning now to attend a No Kings protest on Oct. 18. We need this one to be even bigger than the last one. Invite your family and friends, and ask them to invite their family and friends. People power can defeat fascism.

If you appreciate my reporting, consider a paid subscription to The Handbasket: www.thehandbasket.co/upgrade
New — I wrote about the violent assault on a DC delivery worker this morning by masked federal agents, and how these agents have made the disturbing turn from quiet thugs to playing for the cameras.
Federal agent during violent DC arrest: “Liberals already ruined” this country
Trump's thugs are proving their skull-bashing loyalty in broad daylight.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Time lapse of Oakland no kings march eventually taking over both sides of Broadway from @oaklandside.org. Many thousands of people.

Almost half a million people live in Oakland, CA and it seemed like we were all marching today

Remember that we’re nearly powerless to effect change in one day, but we can do anything if we show up to bi-weekly meetings for years.
Literally anything.
Find a group, plug in deeply and regularly until you have power.

This is so good. Love @kmtani.bsky.social's perfect description of what it really would mean to think of the justices as a certain kind of umpire.
