Listen, we're friends, right? You know I wouldn't steer you wrong unless I was convinced it would be hilarious right?
Okay, that said DO NOT sign up for protests. Just go.
While there, stay away from agitators, avoid ANYONE suggesting ANYTHING that might be illegal.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

!["Fucksaw" incident
In 2011, Bailey's human sexuality class at Northwestern made the headlines of major news organizations after he allowed a female guest speaker and her male partner to perform a live mechanized sex toy demonstration using a "fucksaw"[49][50]—a modified reciprocating saw[51] converted into a sex toy by attaching a "phallic object" instead of a blade[52][53]—to bring the woman to orgasm in front of the audience.[50][51] Students were advised beforehand of the nature of the demonstration in this optional after-class event on kinky sex and female orgasm.[52][53]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j76trmiofvaxxpvx2vnb2vwf/bafkreianndxgxuwaeesq2xgbeatzci5pp4qpjvf42o42nhg7m4khfdhwxy@jpeg)

Having been raised by a librarian, I have so much love & respect for these invaluable public spaces. My 1st job was working the front desk at my local library. Please get a library card & go learn just how many resources libraries can offer. Patronage helps keep them open, & it’s free.
My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.
So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.

Would it be legal for Trump to cancel the presidential election? These Federalist Society judges think so.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.
You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."
AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong
Other Democrats, from Schumer to Hochul, should follow her lead.

This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

Rest of the statement is in the OP.
While the state loves waiting until the last minute to extend the punishment for as long as they can, I genuinely don’t think this would have been possible without support from multiple unions, the press freedom advocacy groups, and all of the solidarity 🖤
