Sarah Kendzior's latest, with fascinating research on Meir Kahane & Jewish Defense League, how it helped sway Israeli - American politics, and in which she helps us understand the whole messianic complex in today's war.
"If it were only history, I would not be so frightened."
Though I try to go when I can, I get pulled 8-10 ways every weekend. If you haven't, I'd put the word out to whatever mailing list & socials you may have for folks going to specific rallies between now and the deadline, or stop by in person on the Square tomorrow at 11. One in SoPo too @11.
Barbarism in El Paso
DHS says it's closing Camp East Montana, the country's largest ICE detention facility, soon.
Here's what it's like inside.

#MEpolitics
Exactly. . . that and the Monument Square weekly rally just before, from 11-12noon, both great concentrated opportunities for @andrealaflamme.bsky.social and a couple volunteers to gather a mess of sigs. She said elsewhere she may be in town tomorrow, and this may be why.

"BECAUSE IF WE DON'T STEP UP, NO ONE ELSE WILL..."

#NonViolenceIsPOWER
#EveryEffortCounts
#ORGANIZE #RESIST #OPPOSE
Gather with friends and family, form small community groups, stay strong, stay smart, and stay safe.
The choice seems obvious to any sane, rational, person.
$1 BILLION PER DAY . . . cost of current Iran war fiasco
or cover Universal Health Care?
“Working families are already struggling with soaring prices and a hollowed-out job market—they can’t afford Trump’s war of choice.”
#ORGANIZE #RESIST
Exactly - this admin, with Trump as simple spokesperson, is asking Americans to contribute to his war fantasies and give up our morals for absolutely nothing, no heroism, no valor, just his incoherent aimless wishes at the behest of Israel.

What a strange, messed up, world.
One in which we–or at least some of us–find ourselves compelled to set aside the comfort of ignoring facts and connections like these to try and be effective in changing the future it foreshadows
Nil desperandum.

You bet . . . if you are considering using Proton services and want max anonymity, their advice is to use VPN or Tor, pay with cash or crypto, and don't add a recovery email.
An important note from Proton re: 404 Media's post below.
#Proton #Surveillance
Yesterday, I introduced my plan for free, universal childcare for all working families in Maine. This isn’t radical, it’s common sense, and it’s desperately needed. Maine’s future relies on us solving this crisis now. #Solidarity
Great chance to learn more about Meshtastic if you're in the area. It never hurts to have more options for communicating with fellow Mainers across the state!
Oh, I know you are, and sure wish things had turned out differently. As I've posted, you were the most even-keeled and clear-spoken of those active in the senate race.
SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.
It's a black mark, far as I'm concerned, the way media in Maine has covered politics, especially candidates vying for elected office to serve Mainers. That Maine Dems failed to help is unfortunate.
All why I started presenting candidates, like @tuckerinmaine.bsky.social as fairly as I could.
In all the madness of the world, we must not forget or let fade the war in Ukraine, the leadership of President Zelenskyy, and the continued bravery of all Ukrainians.
#SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦
This Sunday, March 8th, join us in support of the International Women’s Day March happening in Orono, ME. The event starts at noon and the meeting location is set for the UCU Plaza at 15 Main Street. We look forward to seeing you there!

Graham Platner is coming to Portland this Saturday to hold a protest with MPA against this illegal Iran War. We're meeting outside of Sen. Susan Collins' office at 1 Canal Plaza at 12 PM.
Now is the time to speak up, for the well-being of people in uniform and for the good of Iranian civilians.
Have questions about Maine's new Paid Family and Medical Leave program that goes into effect in May? Join us and the Maine Paid Leave Coalition for a webinar on March 16 at 5:30 pm to better understand the program and how to access it when benefits become available! us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
Every day we see just how unbelievably absurd it was to think that the DOW hitting 50000 was somehow a sign that everything is ok. If politicians cared as much about people as they do the stock market we'd be in a much better place.
Falling jobs. Rising prices. Millions losing health insurance. Serial violations of fundamental freedoms. Rampant corruption. Illegal wars. Rejecting medical and climate science. Epidemics. Incompetence. Lies. Every single action of this administration is hurting Americans and weakening the country.
Sen. Chris Murphy talking sense. . .
"This is as serious as it gets" he says, and essentially calls for a stop of all voting on normal legislation until a debate and vote, on a declaration of war against Iran, as Congress is supposed to do.
"Let's see if Trump has the votes...I bet he doesn't."
#MEpolitics
It's far more simple than that.
Camp East Montana is just off Montana Ave (US Rt 62) on the east side of El Paso, at Fort Bliss.
