In case I am able to use the good that Indivisible has done (protests) without perpetuating the bad (super PAC funding, noncommittal avoidance of addressing the policies under finance capitalism directly, e.g.) I have started a local chapter in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.

If all goes well, we might be able to get funding to host a Decidim instance to support us in recurring citizens assemblies, with our petitions backed by threats of labor strikes.

I recommend you organize a bloc of ticket holders that go to the Melania movie with the express purpose of harassing and disrupting the showing of the film.

Like this:

"...50 passes had been set aside for men purportedly intent on heckling, booing, and harassing Williams."

https://archive.is/htS7p#selection-2317.204-2317.304

That approach will work...once. After that, security gets wise to this tactic.

OK, use subtle tactics as listed in the Simple Sabotage Field Manual:

A purported Craigslisting offering free tickets to Melania and $50 to remain seated for the entirety performance. The fine print about remaining seated is highlighted.

In 1992, Cicih Sukaesih led fellow Indonesian factory workers in a strike, part of a movement that led Nike to create its first code of conduct.

She's proud of the example she set. But she described her work as incomplete, as problems remain, including chronically low wages.

An average worker at the foreign factories that make Nike’s goods earns 1.9 times the local minimum wage, the company says.

None of the workers The Oregonian/OregonLive spoke with in Nike’s second-largest production hub said they earned that much.

A legal dispute over the legality of the firing of an ACLU employee could set a precedent that drastically restricts the free speech rights of Americans in the workplace.

"if the #ACLU succeeds... it will strike a huge blow against the speech rights of all private-sector employees. The range of things workers will be allowed to say to the public and to their bosses without risking termination will be significantly narrowed. " @aclu

The Atlantic—no friend to anti-fascist movements—is reporting that ICE Truppenführer Greg Bovino is being demoted.

No politician or political party did this. It only occurred because of grassroots resistance and direct action.

ICE will keep kidnapping and murdering until we ourselves stop them. 🏴

https://crimethinc.com/responserevolution

Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol “commander at large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon, according to a DHS official and two people with knowledge of the change.

Bovino’s sudden demotion is the clearest sign yet that the Trump administration is reconsidering its most aggressive tactics after the killing Saturday of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents under Bovino’s command. — Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol “commander at large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon, according to a DHS official and two people with knowledge of the change.

Congressman Ro Khanna via Bluesky today:

"Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.

2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.

3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.

4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law."

"5. Impeach Noem and Bondi.

6. End the Kavanaugh stops with racial profiling and end the militarization of ICE.

7. Codify a use of force standard so courts can enforce the law against rogue ICE agents.

8. Tear down and replace ICE with an agency that has oversight."

"Trump is engaged in the SYSTEMATIC destruction of the rule of law.

Only if Congress fights with every legal tool at our disposal including lawsuits in the courts, like we are doing with the Epstein files, can we stop this madness."

"We owe that to nurse Pretti and the hundreds of thousands on the streets risking their lives to stand up for our freedoms."

But here's the other, and this is the reason that I am so angry.

You've heard me say this a lot. The Republicans could stop this tonight

And here's the thing. You know how many Republicans that would take?

16 Republicans. 16 Republicans voting with the Democrats.

This is a country of 340 million people. 16 people could stop this. And you could

The “ICE Out! Statewide Shutdown” was planned by #labor and #faith leaders and will include a march through downtown at 2 p.m. that will culminate in a rally at Target Center."

"Today, general strikes are rare in the #US largely because they are difficult to coordinate. But lawmakers and the courts for decades have also restricted the power of #unions.

The two largest general strikes in US #history are the #Seattle General Strike of 1919, where the city of 315,000 people stopped working, and the #Oakland General Strike of 1946, where nearly 130,000 workers refused to work and shut down commerce throughout the area."

Friday’s ‘ICE Out of Minnesota’ day is a general strike. Here’s what that means.

Citing the killing of Renee Good by federal agent Jonathan Ross, the “ICE Out” day organizers say the general strike is intended to be a day of nonviolent reflection.
