Protest Trump's Illegal War! It's not surprising as this regime attempts to deflect from their disastrous record. If you are upset and angry and want to channel that energy into doing something, come join us for a POP-UP on the corners of Gilbert & Burlington streets at Noon today in Iowa City.
Prof. Christina Pagel @chrischirp.bsky.social has created an excellent visual timeline of this administration's attacks on Iran, color-coded according to some of the categories of authoritarian actions that she tracks at Trump Action Tracker www.trumpactiontracker.info.
Invaluable.
He quotes Abraham Lincoln writing in 1848 when he was a first-term congressman - "Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object."
Research by Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan has shown that nonviolent resistance is nearly twice as effective as violent resistance in forcing political change. Furthermore, when 3.5% of the population is actively participating in a campaign of change, the likelihood of success is very high. Johnson County has a population of about 163,000 people. By the 3.5% rule then, our number is about 5700 people. When you come to No Kings on March 28; when you BOYCOTT Amazon, Walmart, Apple, Home Depot and many others and shop local instead; when you SPEAK OUT against ICE brutality; when you SUPPORT our immigrant neighbors; when you TALK to your family, friends, coworkers and neighbors to get them activated; when you VOTE against the fascists; you are part of that 5700!
We have the power and are claiming it together. Iowa City Rises!! No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.
On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us.

..Spurn you like dogs, and like as if that God
Owed not nor made not you, nor that the claimants
Were not all appropriate to your comforts
But chartered unto them, what would you think
To be thus used? This is the strangers’ case;
And this your mountanish inhumanity.

Wonderful to be part of the Singing Resistance against ICE, organized by Iowa Mennonite Action inside Target in Coralville, Iowa! 2/8/26
After about 15min of peacefully making our voices heard we marched out singing Siyahamba, "We are marching in the light of God"

if you are local (or even if you're not, really) I would very much appreciate your attention to this matter

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.
Stay free

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday.
AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.
We also need universal healthcare yesterday with full vision, mental, hearing, and dental coverage. But as we strive to reach that, the least we can do is not use shoddy AI to determine our survival.
Trump is coming to Des Moines at Congressman Nunn's request. Join us in peaceful protest!
Why are we protesting? Alex Pretti, Renee Good & Keith Porter Jr should be alive! Minneapolis—and all our communities—must be free from the violence of DHS.

Outcry in Italy as U.S. Says ICE Agents Will Join Olympics Delegation.
Italy, there is no way that you should allow these murderous thugs to enter your country!

Even though there's currently single digit weather in parts of Texas, ICE refuses to turn on the heat in the Alvarado Texas facility. We've watched in years past when the lack of heat has killed residents of Texas who are without power, We have to demand that ICE turn on the heat in this facility!
For the umpteenth time, Brian nails it. House Dem Leadership screwed up big last week. This isn't "I told ya so." There should be some real reflection within the Dem Caucus about the systemic error in judgement that dismissed all efforts aimed at getting them to make the right call last week.
Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.
CBP has murdered another person in Minneapolis, in broad daylight, on video. This was not an accident or an isolated incident. There is no finger-pointing or spin Trump and Republicans can put on this to convince anyone otherwise. This is murder — just like we saw with Renee Nicole Good.

This is a mob shakedown note disguised as a legal document from Pam Bondi.
Two plausible but equally alarming explanations for demanding voter records: they intend to tamper with the 2026 midterm elections, and this is a tool, or they want a list of Kamala Harris voters for intimidation purposes.
This woman speaks for the majority of Americans. 🙌🙏🫶👇
