Frank Lutz: Booker marathon speech 'may have changed the course of political history'

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

Everyone needs to FOIA the shit out of these motherfuckers. At some point, the courts WILL notice the non-responsiveness.
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,
