Joyce Vance: Convince Senators and Members of Congress that the future of our country is more important than their own political careers. Two ways to resist as a community are to join #NoKings marches, and to boost messages that you agree with, maybe starting with this message.

Ich sehe die paar Millionen, die bei #nokings Veranstaltungen sind. Ich sehe die Trumpianer:innen. Aber was denkt der Rest? Die Autoritären, kleptokratischen und gar faschistischen Züge der Regierung sind ja keine Einbildung. Kennt jemand eine Reportage oder einen dokumentarischen Artikel (oder eine Doku), die das zeigt? #USpol #USA
the #FBI is now officially visiting the homes of people spotted at protests like #NoKings, #ICE, etc.
it boggles the mind that there are people at #protests in the US who, upon finding #FBI agents at their door asking “do you have a few minutes to talk about the protests?” answer with anything other than “do you have a warrant?” followed by a polite request that they leave your property.
this isn’t complicated. you need to shut the fuck up. the #5thAmendment exists for a reason. shutting the fuck up cannot be used against you, for any reason, ever. not shutting the fuck up will never help you. it can only hurt you.
any false statement to the FBI can be charged as a crime. even if you just forgot. even if you mix up the order of events. even if you tell the truth but the agents find another person whose story contradicts yours. even if you tell the truth but the agents misremember what you said (!!!).
talking to the FBI is much more legally perilous than talking to the police (and you shouldn’t do that either). talking to Kash Patel's FBI is far more perilous than talking to the old FBI.
i know it’s hard. you want to be helpful. you think if you stay silent they'll find you suspicious. you want to explain yourself. it’s a very natural human thing and that’s exactly what they’re going to use against you. so here’s a helpful script you can follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqo5RYOp4nQ
literally every single lawyer in the united states will tell you exactly what i’m telling you now. tell a friend. tell all your friends. tell random people you see on the street.
and shut. the. fuck. up.
don't be like this guy, who helpfully stepped out of his house to chat with the FBI outside the range of audio recording for most of an hour: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/video-fbi-agents-visit-anti-ice-protester

Social Security announces 2.8 percent cost-of-living benefit increase for 2026, down from the 10-year average of 3.1 percent. #SSA #SocialSecurity #USPol #COLA
@paul
With the average increase totaling $56, I’ll be able to buy 22 tomatoes. Yay!
Another massive anti #ICE march in #NYC last night. The #NoKings momentum is only going to build, and the regime does not have any ideas except more of the same ones that already failed. The nature of evil is unbelievably stupid, because evil fails to comprehend courage and love.

Think he's going to stop with the East Wing?
He's building himself a palace with our money.
Ready to stop him NOW?

“We will mobilize people to school board meetings and legislative hearings, boycotts and buy-ins, local elections and campaigns for Congress. Now is the time to continue turning the nationwide No Kings energy into strategic people power.”

“There’s growing support for [a general strike]. Groups like ours will be involved with educating people around, what is this? When has it been done in the past? How do you do it successfully? What are the objectives? I think there would need to be ongoing awareness raising and education and preparation for it. 2/

“I’m confident that this movement is going to continue going in the right direction, and it will continue to bring more people on board. Because a lot of people have observed, it’s a lot of white people at these rallies. Where’s everybody else? Where are the black people, the Latino people. I think what you’re seeing at each one is that it gets more diverse. 1/

“Whatever the next action is, it’s going to be one that both has an understanding and acceptance by a good number of the 7 million people that showed up to the rallies.” /3
