Hakeem Jeffries still refuses to endorse the Democratic Nominee for NYC mayor but has plenty of praise for Eric Adams who, left the party, openly supports Trump, & cut a deal with Trump to disappear the DOJ’s bribery & corruption charges against him. Can’t imagine why the Dem Party has 26% approval🤔 image
Just got word that at the Broadview, IL facility I protested at yesterday, ICE fascists arrested Dana Briggs, a U.S. Air Force Veteran. Trump claims he's getting "violent criminals" off our streets with ICE. No, he's going after military Veterans who oppose his fascist policies. Indefensible.
1. US soldiers murdered 135 mostly women & children Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee as they surrendered after forced displacement, i.e. genocide 2. Amazing how we can't pay reparations because no one alive today was enslaved, but we can honor the dead white supremacists who committed war crimes. Trump is honoring literal white supremacists. This is fascism. image
The NYC Mayoral Primary was June 24 (95 days ago) & the General is Nov 4 (in 37 days). And Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries—the two Democratic Party leaders who should be leading by example—have still REFUSED to endorse the democratic nominee. I don’t ever wanna hear them or any of their supporters utter “vote blue no matter who,” ever again. What indefensible cowardice and hypocrisy. Thankfully, Zohran Mamdani continues to rise & the future looks bright.
One fact is clear—ICE is afraid of us. ICE boarded up their buildings, put up fences, hid behind masks, forced us to move to a new location, & pepper balled peaceful protestors. They fear our unity. They know their only hope is to divide us in culture wars. We cannot let them. Our basic humanity depends on our unity.
When Protesting ICE, We Need Messengers Not Martyrs
As ICE fascists increase their violence against innocent people, a word of reflection on how we make progress
As you watch the Trump regime horrifically abuse migrants, remember that during his previous term there were ~5000 documented cases of ICE and Border Patrol sexually abusing and assaulting migrant children—yes children—and it resulted in zero policy changes, negligible prosecutions, and billions more in federal funding. The system isn't broken, it was built this way.
Today as I protested ICE fascists in Broadview, IL I realized three things: •93% of the people ICE is snatching up have no history of violence •ICE is increasingly the source of violence in our communities •If we’re going to survive this, we need unity, and we need messengers, not martyrs Here’s what I mean, with pictures and video from today’s protest.

Yes the 34X convicted felon who pardoned 1600 violent convicted insurrectionists, pardoned soldiers convicted of the most horrific war crimes, tried to fire Inspectors General so they can’t investigate him, and won’t investigate open bribery of his own appointees, is definitely indicting James Comey because he cares just so much about law and order.
Italy and Spain have announced they are sending their military ships to protect the Global Sumud Flotilla, which is sailing to break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza and end the famine and genocide imposed by Israel. Canada, UK, France, and Australia — all four of you have recognized Palestine as a state. Please now fulfill your oath and break Israel's illegal siege. End the famine and genocide in Gaza—both enabled by weapons you sold to Israel. Act Now. End This Injustice. Stop This Genocide.
Amazing how "Antifa" isn't actually an organization but is somehow designated as "terrorist group," while the KKK is an actual white supremacist "christian" terrorist organization that has mass murdered thousands of Black people and some white allies across two centuries and virtually every state, and is still not labeled a terrorist organization. A reminder that the system isn't broken, it's working as intended.
