Worked on some signs for Saturday. A couple were touch ups. I wanted my #BLM sign to reflect the mural that was erased, and my #ResistFascism sign to be a bit more to the point. The #MainePride sign involved a sticker and some spray painted pine trees. I liked the way it came out.

Analysis: Trump's tactics are firmly in line with a longstanding German policy of putting support for Israel, no matter how heinous its crimes, above the basic free speech rights of its citizens."
Lawyer Alexander Gorski describes how Germany has "weaponized the concept of anti-semitism to stifle dissent and to suppress speech."

Analysis: "Musk Tried to Buy Wisconsin’s Supreme Court. He Lost."
"Wisconsin Democrats launched the People v. Musk campaign in early March, with Wikler calling the race 'the first referendum on Musk-ism'.
"Crawford’s victory provides a blueprint for how Democrats and progressives can run against Musk’s plan for oligarchy all across the country—and win.

I donated ten bucks to #CoryBooker tonight. He (his campaign) texted me (and I’m guessing a bunch of you too) shortly after he walked off the Senate floor. How could I say ‘no’ after such an historic performance? Join me and throw some $$ his way to show how much his activism, his passion and his determination are appreciated. #Democrats #Senate #politics #USPol #USPolitics #resist #Resistance #ResistFascism

https://barnraisingmedia.com/local-food-purchase-assistance-program-usda/ My friend's son lost a $90K contract with local schools and food banks due to this. He has fields full of potatoes that he won't be able to sell (he'd planted them to meet the volume requested by the schools). There are two madmen running our country, and Congress is asleep, or worse. #USDA #democracy #turdreich #food #USA #uspol #trump #funding #TheRepublicansDidThis #ResistFascism #resist
Due to the US political climate, I am vigorously trying to improve my residency rights in a different country, just in case. But to be honest, I feel increasingly motivated to stay right here, and fight the fight I've been given. #resistfascism

"Last week, the #MaineCoalitionForPalestine organized a protest of ICE detention of #ColumbiaUniversity student leader #MahmoudKhalil. Since then, ICE has operated as the #Trump Administration’s #SecretPolice, abducting a growing number of immigrant organizers for exercising their right to #FreeSpeech and protesting the U.S.-sponsored #genocide in #Gaza. The list includes #RumeysaOzturk, #YunseoChung, #BadarKhunSuri, #MomodouTaal, #RanjaniSrinivasan, as well as #farmworker organizer #AlfredoJuarezZerefino. Maine DSA member and Portland District 2 City Councilmember #WesPelletier spoke at the Portland Mahmoud Khalil protest and DSA chapters around New England issued a joint declaration reprinted below against the ICE abduction of Rumeysa Ozturk.
New England DSA chapters demand freedom for Rumeysa Ozturk
"Yesterday, ICE agents abducted Rumeysa Ozturk, a graduate student and pro-Palestine activist at Tufts.
"The kidnapping comes after almost 400 #ICEArrests in Massachusetts, as well as the #doxxing of Ozturk by the pro-Isreal website #CanaryMission.
"ICE’s abductions—of Ozturk, Khalil, and many others—is an unprecedented attack on basic #CivilRights in the name of U.S. Empire, whether those detained are peaceful #PoliticalActivists or undocumented #migrants seeking safety, jobs, and a better life.
"We must stand up against this brazen attack on #Palestine, #FreeSpeech, and the #RightToProtest.
"We must stand in solidarity with our neighbors and communities under attack from Trump, ICE, and all agents of #imperialism.
"Governor Healey, the courts, and the Democratic Party establishment are not coming to save us—we must mobilize, agitate, and organize in our workplaces and campuses to defend working-class rights.
In Solidarity,
