Just got back from a rally in Amherst to protest the unconstitutional actions of ICE, CBP, and the Trump administration. If you don't know, in addition to murdering protesters and the warrantless detentions of legal residents and U.S. citizens with no criminal record, they have begun tracking down and harassing/intimidating/retaliating against Americans exercising our constitutional right to free speech. The claim that these deployments are necessary law enforcement against illegally present murderers and rapists is nothing but a lie. This is an intimidation campaign. It's intended to make citizens and immigrants alike silent and afraid. No. We will not bend the knee to masked secret police. We will not let them disappear nurses and farmers, construction workers and cooks without speaking up. I have a personal connection to the Twin Cities. My husband is from St. Paul. We have many friends and relatives there and visit several times each year. It's a beautiful, diverse, fascinating region full of lovely people and the idea that (among others) the Hmong and Somali people who came there as refugees seeking peace, who have contributed so much to the regional culture, economy, and cuisine are at the sharp end of this brutal ethnic cleansing is beyond grief to me.
Good turnout for what will probably be the coldest day of the winter, several hundred folks from young to old. The woman next to me was 81 years old, holding a sign with a photo of her dad who served to defend the free world against fascism in WWII. Both of my grandfathers did that, too. Even by New England standards it was frigid. Chemical hand and foot warmers, wool base layer, heated down vest, insulated boots, wool socks, down coat, snow pants, and I was still cold. You know you're alive! I brought my porcupine friend who came from Itasca State Park in Minnesota to help hold my sign. With a little Minneapolis Purple scarf to keep her warm.
Car windshield being used to prop up a stuffed porcupine in a purple scarf and a sign that says "It's 15° below & I'm standing in the snow because ICE has got to go."
Wide shot of a sizeable rally on the Amherst, MA Town common.

The #Trump administration needs to be given the same treatment that Ukraine’s pro-Russian government was given in the aftermath of the #OrangeRevolution. #NoKings #PurpleRevolution #GenZProtests #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

first off: No.
I will tell you why.
1. You only care about your comfort that you recognize that your choices have jeopardized. There is nothing else there. You still hold horrible beliefs that are diametrically opposed to the idea that everyone's humanity is important.

When the world is such a 💩 SHOW and you’re so over it that you decide to go all in on the MAGAts, because maybe one of these little bitch babies will actually come through and I won’t have to deal with the BS anymore. #FDT #ENDMAGA #purplerevolution #pass #yikes
False unity asks us to swallow our pain and call it peace. Real unity begins when truth no longer feels like betrayal. #purplerevolution

No bandwidth. However, this is a cult and leaving a cult is different than leaving a political party or movement. It's fraught, right?
I support people who are healing and moving beyond their worst instincts. I have #PurpleRevolution on my bio for that reason.
But no bandwidth otherwise, no.
Interesting read.

#purplerevolution is a movement of discussion.
We have two sides that have different perspectives.
Be a humanitarian.
What do we all want? What do we all need?
We are all humans. We all need a few things to survive-healthcare, housing, education, food, to travel freely, experience the world.
