It's time to dust off the #Resist I think. I believe there is such a thing as objective truth. I try to live there.

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE.

When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.

And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

PBS and Fox News handled the story about the Border Patrol shooting of Alex Pretti quite differently. Fox News kept getting details wrong and implied Pretti threatened the agents. PBS spoke to a gun rights advocate from Minnesota.

NEW from @justinrohrlich.bsky.social:

“I’m not surprised this happened,” Ilhan Omar attacker Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother said. “Not at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.”

"In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t," he added.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Trump backed down from the 50% EU Tariffs after the announcement failed to budge the stock market for his usual market manipulation and pump & dump pony trick. He'll try again in July.

As I predicted April 30, Chip voted for it. These guys all make lots of noise about debt and deficits, then vote to pile it on in record amounts.

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk:

-Is not accused of committing any crime

-Is nonviolent

-Was in this country legally

-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to

-Has been locked up for six weeks
Now from Öztürk’s ACLU lawyer Esha Bhandari:

“Rümeysa Öztürk’s case is unprecedented and shocking. She has been held behind bars for six weeks while her health deteriorates for writing an op-ed.”

They're stealing our tax dollars in broad daylight. The HHS has redirected $500 million for COVID vaccine research to a flu vaccine project linked to Trump's former acting head of the NIH, bypassing the usual review procedures.

The Department of Health and Human Services said it is redirecting funding from what it calls a wasteful Biden-era project on next-generation COVID vaccines.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Instead of making them pay it, Trump is going to cut environmental, health research, and education funding to cover it.

This is what a corrupt oligarchy looks like.
