you can have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or a dinner that features Donald Trump but you cannot have both

Totally. My biggest takeaway from the SOTU last night is we need new, courageous Dem leaders. People who fight for what’s right, for regular folk, for embracing science, and who embrace the role as a public servant and public fighter. It’s time to chuck Chuck.

Actually, I think he was equally turned on describing the killing of thousands of protesters in Iran.

If Netflix caves on Trump’s illegal demand to fire Rice, we need to ensure immediate backlash. Cancel Netflix faster than we would drop a hot coal. Disney/Kimmel was just warming up.

Ok ya’ll - read up. This is a good list of what we need to be ready to do when ICE descends. So if you don’t know your neighbors yet, time to go introduce yourself.

A healthy, inclusive, accountable democracy is a precondition for a healthy environment. That’s why fighting to protect and advance democratic norms, institutions and practices has to be on every environmentalists agenda today.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

I want a government which spends public money defending- rather than bogusly attacking - those using our First Amendment rights to free speech and peaceful protest.

“DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court”

Peaceful protest makes our opposition visible, adds pressure or gives cover to electeds to do the right thing, invites those still on the sidelines to join in resisting, builds community which we need to get through hard times and much more. But if marching isn’t for you, there are many other roles!

Not sure what to bring to a protest or leave at home? We’ve compiled a Pocket List so that you stay prepared. Be safe, stay peaceful, and thank you for fighting for democracy.

Or we could all just take a breath and slow the heck down.

Thank you!!!

Friends - what is your favorite protest song? Am especially looking for Broadway musical vibe ones (for a summer show in the works - stay tuned!)

Sometimes protest is removing the wrong flag, and sometimes it is putting the right one back up.

Thank you @breenewsome.bsky.social & NYC officials for righting these two wrongs.

It'll be the biggest protest in American history because people are going to make it the biggest protest in American history. Nokings.org has all the info you need for 3/28, and more ICE watch trainings coming next week!

Trump administration says it is ending its immigration surge in Minnesota More than 4,000 undocumented immigrants have been apprehended since the operation began in November, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

YAY! Thank you people of MN for modeling peaceful courageous resistance.

And words matter. Compare NBC’s “4,000 undocumented immigrants have been apprehended…” to “4,000 undocumented immigrants have been abducted…” In so many ways, media & leaders vilify and demean both immigrants & protesters.

Our new book that is a call to respect, defend & use the right to peaceful protest is out soon, but we’re not sending people to Amazon unless they are going there to resist and unsubscribe! Check it out: www.protestthebook.com

There’s room for everyone in the resistance. Come on over! Peaceful protest takes many forms. Not comfortable joining an ICE watch or peaceful protest? No problem - you can boycott complicit businesses, make art, call your Representatives, educate neighbors about democracy, or even knit red hats!

At an ICE detention center, liturgy becomes protest In celebrating the liturgy publicly, at a place of state violence, the body of Christ reaches out to those who feel they have been forgotten.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Border Czar Plans to Pull 700 Agents From Minnesota

www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

Thank god for peaceful mass resistance.

The criminalizing of protest and dissent has a long history in America The Trump administration is accusing protesters of ‘domestic terrorism’ but this brazen tactic is as old as the country itself

Our constitutional right to free speech and peaceful protest is under attack.
If we lose the right to protest, we stand to lose so much more.

34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be ice observers AFTER two neighbors were shot for doing the same??

I do believe that we will win this, my friends.
