I’m still laughing at the coward in the Sox hat. Thank you for your brave heart Qasim, to get out and protest even with threats coming from all around. You do great work, and I admire you greatly!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
This is beautiful! We attend standouts 2-3 times per week on Boston’s south shore. Our numbers are growing and the response from drivers is increasingly and overwhelmingly positive.
And yes, seated protesters are welcome!
We’re all in this together, for as long as it takes.
Somebody should let ICE know their masks are pointless. Their names are on the payroll that we, the taxpayers, are footing the bill for. In the end, they will be named and they will be held accountable for their actions.
Please use signs to discourage potential recruits. Help to save the life of a potential recruit who is naive enough to think ICE offers a safe, healthy, rewarding career. They would be better off removing asbestos ($80,000/year).
Recruits are now or in the near future highly likely to be subjected to 'bait and switch' conditions of employment:
1. Their signing bonus can be clawed back by 'taking them off the schedule' from time to time until the government gets it all back. There is no honor among thieves.
2. They will have co-workers who will know how to extract protection money from them for the rest of their lives. This will lead to loss of annual income.
3. They will be tricked, played, and deceived inside and outside of prison culture for the rest of their lives. They will not feel safe anywhere. PTSD is inevitable.
4. They will experience conditions within the detention camps that will lead to infectious diseases not only personally but for their family members as well.
5. They will be reviled and end up with low self-esteem.
There are far happier workplaces than ICE. Working with decent, hardworking people is one of life's greatest joys. Encourage them to apply for work elsewhere.
Trump’s announced military invasion of Chicago has nothing to do with crime rates. Trump’s blatantly treasonous intent: execute a coup to replace the USA’s Constitutional Republic with a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy to be ruled in perpetuity by the Trump Family Crime Syndicate.
Donald Trump began his coup by attempting to prevent a joint session of Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. When his insurrection failed, he pardoned the violent criminals who—in response to his call—had attacked the 1/6/2021 Joint Session of Congress.
Some of these vicious criminals are now ICE deployed bounty-hunters directed by Donald Trump to ignore due process, kidnap People of Color, and make them disappear before the Courts can learn of their existence.
Trump has appointed leaders of his failed 1/6/2021 Insurrection to major posts in his criminal administration. His MAGA base includes criminals—he pardoned—working as ICE’s Gestapo, it includes an irretrievably corrupted Supreme Court, it includes criminals serving in the President’s Cabinet, hundreds of corrupt Republican Members of Congress, thousands of corrupt Republican office-holders, and millions of Neo-Nazis who hate People-of-Color.
Led by the lifelong racist Donald Trump, these MAGA racists are working with Trump to end America’s Constitutional Republic.
The overwhelming majority of Americans reject Trump, his MAGAts, the crimes they have committed, and the crimes they continue to commit. This majority will seize control of Congress in 2026.
Qasim, you area very brave soul who is an active voice both as a journalist or when you show up in rallies such as this. You are a natural leader and this 89-year-old white hippie thinks you are cool as hell. Keep up the great work!
I say this to my friends, the protests matter greatly even if things don’t change overnight. My neighbor joined me for only one, declaring protests really don’t work. It works to show those of us fighting against Fascism/illegality/seditionists in our White House that there are actually more of us. For a change, WE control the streets! And people are so creative with signs. But even cardboard and marker with words is all that’s needed but our neighbors and new friends are out there. It’s all encouraging!
A side note to Qasim. I want to thank you for mentioning those with no religion. This is the fastest growing group in the U.S. and estimated to be a quarter of the population. It includes me. And we consist of about 98% on the good side. Don’t leave us out. We are a massive group of allies. And we notice when politicians exclude us from mention. So thank you Qasim, for including all!
Thank you, and absolutely. It's why I'm such a staunch advocate for secular governance. So people can worship, or not worship, without government interference. We need to protect universal freedom of conscience for all people, period.
Precisely. The founders had this intent. But the christian privileging and overstepping without consequence, allowed the intrusion into secular government. And we all know that religions outside of christianity are shunned by the Right Wingers.
I’m so grateful that they aren’t engaging with violence. I’m hoping that there are some of their leaders who are choosing a wiser-than-the-commander-in-chief approach to interacting with people.
With you 1000%

Thank you!!!
Qasim.
The fact that the Palestinian persecution, ignite a passion in your heart to protect all vulnerable. People is so telling.
This is a really strange era.
Never would’ve thought these fights would need to be fought in 2025.
In our own backyards, people are being taken away for their skin color .
Evil will not just go away.
When we stand together, evil crumbles .
Suddenly, the big, tough kidnappers, are running scared.
Because when we show up , it reminds them that they are not acting in the way of the divine light.
Our very presence is the source of light when we tap into that.
We can be successful by uniting.
And we will!
I'll be there.

Mad respect to you Rachel & JB and all the BRAVE 🔥🗽

Grateful for your trust and support, John. Thank you.
See you Friday! Native Chicagoan coming home.
I'll be there on my bicycle!
Love it!
I’ve been out there organizing and protesting since April. We all need to be out there. Thanks for being there and publicizing it.
You're amazing, Deborah. Thank you for being a leader and leading by example. Let's be sure to say hello if we cross paths next time.

I'm proud to see this kind of Resistance. Getting ready for hip surgery, but look forward to being back in the action in October. in solidarity.
