A Florida sheriff warned protesters in a press conference on Thursday that "we will kill you, graveyard dead" if they throw weapons or point a gun at officers.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey made the remark at an event with local law enforcement that declared Florida as "The Anti-Riot State."

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾
MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.”
ICE: “The whole country is our property.”
No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

The charges against Prof. Willoughby-Herard were finally dropped yesterday. She courageously defended UCI students against police stifling dissent against Israel's genocide in Gaza. I am inspired by her courage and honored to have represented her in this case. Solidarity with those who fight.
This professor, Dr. Tiffany Willoughby-Herard, along with some of her colleagues and students, are still facing charges for protesting Israel's genocide of Palestinians at UC Irvine.

I want to report some good news from LA:
ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

Protests across the country are a sign of weakness. Attempting to turn the military against the American people 6 months into your term is a sign of weakness. Don’t believe the anti-anti-Trump people in both parties who have always been in awe of Trump. They’re still wrong.

The protests & slowdowns & leaks & refusals to comply & boycotts & strikes & antifascist art & gumming up the works & sanctuary projects & all the other stuff that we’ve got to run all at once have to feel like that too.
Break their hold bit by bit.
Here, there, & over here too, until - whoosh.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling.
Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.
