Hear Rep. #RobMenendez’s MSNBC interview for yourself (I think I got most of the details correct)
If you didn’t think the #US had become an #authoritarian state under #Trump before, you will now.

Rep #RobMenendez said #ICE agents learned Mayor #Baraka was outside the facility. Menendez said the agents “were on the phone with somebody” who told them to let the Mayor in, then escort him back out beyond the facility gates. The agents did exactly that. Once beyond the gates they arrested him.
That is insane.

Another successful #RhRR on the Melrose curve in #Phoenix is in the books! Dozens of folks came out again this morning, and a few are interested in holding an #RhRR near them, which is great!
Rep. Sarah Liguori was there (and brought some friends!)

Under authoritarianism, the law becomes a weapon. #GoodTrouble
Part of the benefit of these alternative platforms like #Mastodon and #Bluesky is that - once established and connected on another platform - people can FULL-ON use their well-established X accounts to SPAM photos like these. I also posted them in-reply-to the paid advertisement posts on X.

3/x #BernieSanders brought his #FightingOligarchy Tour to #Philly’s #MayDay rally.
For anyone getting out and causing some #GoodTrouble today, remember that today of all days, you're standing on the shoulders of those who came before you. Be safe, be well, and maybe just maybe raise a lil hell.
Get yourselves ready for #mayday in #Oakland ! A full dance card of events from 11am downtown, to 3pm at Fruitvale, and back to Grand Lake at 4:30p. Catch as much as you can, and make #GoodTrouble on the way!
Lots of chances to make good trouble this week, #Phoenix!
Wednesday morning, well before it gets hot, join us in midtown for the Rush-hour Resistance Rally on the Melrose curve!

#WeThePeople - #AntiTrump Protesters Mobilize for Hundreds of Events via #50501Movement
#Activists joined forces on a wide variety of issues on Saturday
by Naomi LaChance, April 19, 2025
Excerpt: "Protesters gathered near the White House to demand that #KilmarAbregoGarcia be brought back to the U.S. The Maryland man was illegally deported to El Salvador and remains there despite a Supreme Court order to bring him back.
"A search for affiliated events yields more than 750 results. #50501Michigan is planning a “#MarchForMotherNature” where attendees hold #CleanUps in local areas. In #LafayetteLouisiana, organizers are holding a '#GoodTrouble March.' In #TampaFlorida, activists gathered to protest the deportation of two #Venezuelan #immigrants to a #MegaPrison in #ElSalvador.
"In #NewYorkCity, people organized in front of the New York Public Library. Someone had drawn 'WE THE PEOPLE' in chalk in the street.
"Other areas are holding #NoKings protests to mark the 250th anniversary of the #AmericanRevolution. In #Concord,Massachusetts, Conan Walter held a sign that said, 'Stop #fascism now.' "

Protest #3 was good. Getting easier. Was extra brave and inserted myself in between a protestor and someone scream-cussing and goading him. Literally thrust my sign over their car window between them and blocked them from each other until the maga dude drove off and then worked to soothe him a bit.
Had a stress tummy ache for an hour after (cortisol) but worth it!
