#Information #Protests #NoKings #Resisting #Race
I've been texting with a cousin who lives in MD. He is in an area with a lot of crime, sadly, but we were discussing history, the protests, and such. He shocked me a little as he was trashing democrats for creating "a culture of dependence " in minorities. He sees a driect line from that, the Civil Rights Act and immigration, to the crime he sees.
Days of texting ensued!
Turns out he is still on the side of liberals and centrists but has been listeing to a lot of socialist extremists.
He pointedly asked me why we don't see people of color in the huge crowds from No Kings last protest.
I didn't have an answer for him, except that many migh feel it isn't safe.
I honestly don't have nmany people in my circle I can ask or feel confortable asking.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why the huge crowds are mainly white and older? I was there, white, 65 years old.

‘Labour has failed to call it genocide’ says Green Party candidate Hannah Spencer on Gaza
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Iv11evyG1Qs
“People are really angry about how Labour failed to call it a genocide or to bring any measures against the Israeli government,” she said.
Spencer also added: “I’m really proud to stick up for my Muslim neighbors, who are as British as I am.”

Finally Friday Reads: Letters from Occupied New Orleans
Good Day, Sky Dancers!
Temple doesn’t have to be incensed that her Louisiana Swamp Dog breed isn’t part of the latest ICE raid in New Orleans, Louisiana. It’s no longer called Catahoula Cut-off. It has now officially been renamed ‘Swamp Sweep’. That doesn’t make it easier to deal with. It’s hard to express the feeling that you have that your own country is basically sending a military invasion to your neighborhood. We have the basic statistics that these racists go after. We have women in our leadership positions. They represent our multicultural city. We’re terrifically liberal and blue as fuck. Trump and his ilk hate us.
I’m already part of the ‘good trouble’ we’ve got planned for them. Let me fill you in.
This is from Newsweek.”ICE To Target Mississippi, Louisiana in Major ‘Swamp Sweep’ Raid: Report.
Roughly 250 federal border agents will deploy to New Orleans in a two-month operation called “Swamp Sweep,” which aims to arrest almost 5,000 people across Louisiana and Mississippi, The Associated Press has reported, citing internal documents and sources familiar with the matter.
Newsweek contacted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) via email outside of normal working hours for comment.
The upcoming Swamp Sweep operation represents one of the largest regional immigration enforcement actions under President Donald Trump to date.
Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol commander reported to be leading the new effort, has drawn scrutiny in the past. In Chicago, Bovino was publicly rebuked by a federal judge for misrepresenting threats by protesters and using tear gas and pepper balls without justification during disturbances. His involvement in the plan indicates that it is a major enforcement priority for the Trump administration.
According to planning documents obtained by The Associated Press and sources familiar with the operation, Swamp Sweep is scheduled to begin in early December and continue for two months.
It signals both an expansion of the administration’s immigration crackdown in key Southern states and an intensifying showdown between federal agencies and local governments in areas with divergent approaches toward immigration policy.
They are specifically targeting one of the smaller cities adjacent to Orleans Parish. It has long been a place where various diasporas have settled even thought it undoubtedly a White Flight Burb. The City of Kenner is high on the list and their police are aligned with the Governor and his anti-immigrant MAGA positions. This is from the Louisiana Luminator. “In heavily Hispanic Kenner, some residents on edge ahead of Border surge. The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly deploying 250 Border Patrol agents to the New Orleans area, echoing recent operations in Chicago and North Carolina.”
In Chicago, federal agents focused on heavily Hispanic suburban neighborhoods near the city’s northwest side, sparking allegations of racial profiling — including of U.S. citizens of color caught up in the sweeps — and excessive use of force.
Kenner, a suburb to New Orleans’ northwest, has the highest share of Hispanic residents — largely Honduran — of anywhere in the metro area. The city of about 66,000 is 30% Hispanic and is well-known for its concentration of Hispanic-owned businesses, particularly along Williams Boulevard.
Kenner has already seen immigration enforcement operations stepped up this year, including early this month, when the city’s police department partnered with ICE, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Louisiana State Police for a nighttime raid at the boat launch in Laketown, which resulted in 15 immigration arrests.
In a video posted on the Kenner Police Department’s Facebook page, Kenner Police Department Chief Keith Conley said the operation was in response to years of nuisance complaints from city residents. Kenner PD was also one of the first local departments in Louisiana this year to ink a formal partnership pledging to work with federal immigration authorities.
In a phone interview with Verite News, Conley said the agency had not been briefed by their partners at ICE or anyone at U.S. Customs and Border Protection on the upcoming operation, adding that Kenner PD will work with federal immigration authorities if asked.
“From what I understand, they’re going to be operating independently. Certainly if they need our assistance for anything, we stand ready to assist and aid in their mission,” he said.
Conley said reports that fears over immigration enforcement are causing Hispanic residents to stay indoors might be overblown by social media.
“I don’t see any interruption in customers in restaurants and stores or anything like that,” Conley said. “If [residents] have any concerns or fears they’re more than welcome to call this office or to speak to any of our officers about it.”
But one business operator with locations in New Orleans and Kenner told Verite News that he is already seeing a drop in sales, even before the operation has officially begun.
“It’s a bad time,” said José Castillo, a manager at Norma’s Sweets Bakery, which is owned by his mother. “Business is down in Kenner, in New Orleans, in all our areas. … People are afraid to go out.”
Conley said Kenner PD has long been a good partner to federal immigration enforcement agencies. In March, the department signed an official agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the 287(g) program, which deputizes officers to carry out some ICE duties. President Donald Trump has urged departments across the country to enter into such partnerships, as has Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, a Trump ally and immigration hardliner.
The agreement allows KPD officers to draft their own “detainer” requests, authorizing local jailers to hold immigrants beyond when they might otherwise be released so that they can potentially be transferred into ICE custody.
In an investigation published in August, Verite News and Gulf States Newsroom found that Kenner PD traffic stops were creating a pipeline for immigrants from the city’s jail to federal immigration detention and even deportation. Between January and May ICE issued six times as many immigration detainer requests through Kenner PD than during the same time period in 2024.
As New Orleans area residents await the operation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been fairly tight-lipped about what to expect.
Here, in the city itself, several resistance groups have banded together to use some of the most successful strategies seen in Chicago. The biggest is the strategy of a whistle brigade. These whistles are easy to assemble; anyone with a 3D printer can mass-produce them quickly and affordably. The whistles are distributed throughout the cities with instructions. The basic idea is to draw enough attention to a raid that it will disrupt its efficiency and alert people in the zone to an active raid. Everyone has instructions and can pick up the whistles at various locales in each neighborhood. There are also some mass protests in the wings.
The key is also to document and report the activity. Activists are primarily there to demonstrate a large community presence, use their cameras to capture the raid, and then report to key resistance groups with resources to engage lawyers and the press. Again, this has been successful in Chicago.
Another successful tactic is to embarrass and boycott any local businesses that are facilitating any part of the invasion and kidnapping. Marriott Hotels has been identified as a group that has allowed ICE agents to rent rooms. Boycotting these entities is a key part of discouraging collaboration. The Washington Post has an article up today listing the 20 top billionaires who are influencing our politics. “The top 20 billionaires influencing American politics. Campaign donations from the country’s richest are soaring. But only 12 percent of the public says billionaires have a positive impact on society. This is reported by Clara Ence Morse and Eric Lau.
The 20 most prolific donors on the Forbes billionaires list have collectively given nearly $5 billion between 2015 and 2024, spending on everything from state ballot measures to congressional elections and presidential races. Some have concentrated on supporting issues of interest. Finance billionaire Jeff Yass has poured millions into supporting pro-school-choice candidates in his home state of Pennsylvania and across the country.
While some billionaires have given similar amounts to both parties, the most prolific donors gave almost exclusively to one party. In federal races, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman gave just under 90 percent of his total donations to Democrats and liberal committees; all the other top 20 donors were even more lopsided. Nobody gave over $5 million to both Republicans and Democrats.
The Post’s analysis was confined to billionaires identified by Forbes, so some prolific donors, such as conservative investor Tim Mellon, who donated $197 million to influence federal elections last year, are absent from the count.
You may read the list and accompanying names at the link. The Guardian reports that the FBI is spying on activists. “The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal’. Exclusive: Agency accessed private conversations of New York ‘courtwatch’ group that was observing public hearings.”
The FBI spied on a private Signal group chat of immigrants’ rights activists who were organizing “courtwatch” efforts in New York City this spring, law enforcement records shared with the Guardian indicate.
The FBI, the documents show, gained access to conversations in a “courtwatch” Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.
A “joint situational information report” from the FBI and the New York police department (NYPD), dated 28 August 2025, quoted from a chat on Signal, the encrypted messaging app, and also characterized the court watchers as “anarchist violent extremist actors”. The two-page report was distributed to other law enforcement agencies across the US.
All of this reeks of autocracy. Today, I started carrying my birth certificate with me. How’s that for making American great again?
What’s on your reading, action, and blogging list today?

Temple doesn’t have to be incensed that her Louisiana Swamp Dog breed isn’t part of the latest ICE raid in New Orleans, Louisiana. It’s no longer called Catahoula Cut-off. It has now officially been renamed ‘Swamp Sweep’. That doesn’t make it easier to deal with. It’s hard to express the feeling that you have that your own country is basically sending a military invasion to your neighborhood. We have the basic statistics that these racists go after. We have women in our leadership positions. They represent our multicultural city. We’re terrifically liberal and blue as fuck. Trump and his ilk hate us.
I’m already part of the ‘good trouble’ we’ve got planned for them. Let me fill you in.
This is from Newsweek.”ICE To Target Mississippi, Louisiana in Major ‘Swamp Sweep’ Raid: Report.
Roughly 250 federal border agents will deploy to New Orleans in a two-month operation called “Swamp Sweep,” which aims to arrest almost 5,000 people across Louisiana and Mississippi, The Associated Press has reported, citing internal documents and sources familiar with the matter.
Newsweek contacted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) via email outside of normal working hours for comment.
The upcoming Swamp Sweep operation represents one of the largest regional immigration enforcement actions under President Donald Trump to date.
Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol commander reported to be leading the new effort, has drawn scrutiny in the past. In Chicago, Bovino was publicly rebuked by a federal judge for misrepresenting threats by protesters and using tear gas and pepper balls without justification during disturbances. His involvement in the plan indicates that it is a major enforcement priority for the Trump administration.
According to planning documents obtained by The Associated Press and sources familiar with the operation, Swamp Sweep is scheduled to begin in early December and continue for two months.
It signals both an expansion of the administration’s immigration crackdown in key Southern states and an intensifying showdown between federal agencies and local governments in areas with divergent approaches toward immigration policy.
They are specifically targeting one of the smaller cities adjacent to Orleans Parish. It has long been a place where various diasporas have settled even thought it undoubtedly a White Flight Burb. The City of Kenner is high on the list and their police are aligned with the Governor and his anti-immigrant MAGA positions. This is from the Louisiana Luminator. “In heavily Hispanic Kenner, some residents on edge ahead of Border surge. The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly deploying 250 Border Patrol agents to the New Orleans area, echoing recent operations in Chicago and North Carolina.”
In Chicago, federal agents focused on heavily Hispanic suburban neighborhoods near the city’s northwest side, sparking allegations of racial profiling — including of U.S. citizens of color caught up in the sweeps — and excessive use of force.
Kenner, a suburb to New Orleans’ northwest, has the highest share of Hispanic residents — largely Honduran — of anywhere in the metro area. The city of about 66,000 is 30% Hispanic and is well-known for its concentration of Hispanic-owned businesses, particularly along Williams Boulevard.
Kenner has already seen immigration enforcement operations stepped up this year, including early this month, when the city’s police department partnered with ICE, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Louisiana State Police for a nighttime raid at the boat launch in Laketown, which resulted in 15 immigration arrests.
In a video posted on the Kenner Police Department’s Facebook page, Kenner Police Department Chief Keith Conley said the operation was in response to years of nuisance complaints from city residents. Kenner PD was also one of the first local departments in Louisiana this year to ink a formal partnership pledging to work with federal immigration authorities.
In a phone interview with Verite News, Conley said the agency had not been briefed by their partners at ICE or anyone at U.S. Customs and Border Protection on the upcoming operation, adding that Kenner PD will work with federal immigration authorities if asked.
“From what I understand, they’re going to be operating independently. Certainly if they need our assistance for anything, we stand ready to assist and aid in their mission,” he said.
Conley said reports that fears over immigration enforcement are causing Hispanic residents to stay indoors might be overblown by social media.
“I don’t see any interruption in customers in restaurants and stores or anything like that,” Conley said. “If [residents] have any concerns or fears they’re more than welcome to call this office or to speak to any of our officers about it.”
But one business operator with locations in New Orleans and Kenner told Verite News that he is already seeing a drop in sales, even before the operation has officially begun.
“It’s a bad time,” said José Castillo, a manager at Norma’s Sweets Bakery, which is owned by his mother. “Business is down in Kenner, in New Orleans, in all our areas. … People are afraid to go out.”
Conley said Kenner PD has long been a good partner to federal immigration enforcement agencies. In March, the department signed an official agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the 287(g) program, which deputizes officers to carry out some ICE duties. President Donald Trump has urged departments across the country to enter into such partnerships, as has Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, a Trump ally and immigration hardliner.
The agreement allows KPD officers to draft their own “detainer” requests, authorizing local jailers to hold immigrants beyond when they might otherwise be released so that they can potentially be transferred into ICE custody.
In an investigation published in August, Verite News and Gulf States Newsroom found that Kenner PD traffic stops were creating a pipeline for immigrants from the city’s jail to federal immigration detention and even deportation. Between January and May ICE issued six times as many immigration detainer requests through Kenner PD than during the same time period in 2024.
As New Orleans area residents await the operation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been fairly tight-lipped about what to expect.
Here, in the city itself, several resistance groups have banded together to use some of the most successful strategies seen in Chicago. The biggest is the strategy of a whistle brigade. These whistles are easy to assemble; anyone with a 3D printer can mass-produce them quickly and affordably. The whistles are distributed throughout the cities with instructions. The basic idea is to draw enough attention to a raid that it will disrupt its efficiency and alert people in the zone to an active raid. Everyone has instructions and can pick up the whistles at various locales in each neighborhood. There are also some mass protests in the wings.
The key is also to document and report the activity. Activists are primarily there to demonstrate a large community presence, use their cameras to capture the raid, and then report to key resistance groups with resources to engage lawyers and the press. Again, this has been successful in Chicago.
Another successful tactic is to embarrass and boycott any local businesses that are facilitating any part of the invasion and kidnapping. Marriott Hotels has been identified as a group that has allowed ICE agents to rent rooms. Boycotting these entities is a key part of discouraging collaboration. The Washington Post has an article up today listing the 20 top billionaires who are influencing our politics. “The top 20 billionaires influencing American politics. Campaign donations from the country’s richest are soaring. But only 12 percent of the public says billionaires have a positive impact on society. This is reported by Clara Ence Morse and Eric Lau.
The 20 most prolific donors on the Forbes billionaires list have collectively given nearly $5 billion between 2015 and 2024, spending on everything from state ballot measures to congressional elections and presidential races. Some have concentrated on supporting issues of interest. Finance billionaire Jeff Yass has poured millions into supporting pro-school-choice candidates in his home state of Pennsylvania and across the country.
While some billionaires have given similar amounts to both parties, the most prolific donors gave almost exclusively to one party. In federal races, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman gave just under 90 percent of his total donations to Democrats and liberal committees; all the other top 20 donors were even more lopsided. Nobody gave over $5 million to both Republicans and Democrats.
The Post’s analysis was confined to billionaires identified by Forbes, so some prolific donors, such as conservative investor Tim Mellon, who donated $197 million to influence federal elections last year, are absent from the count.
You may read the list and accompanying names at the link. The Guardian reports that the FBI is spying on activists. “The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal’. Exclusive: Agency accessed private conversations of New York ‘courtwatch’ group that was observing public hearings.”
The FBI spied on a private Signal group chat of immigrants’ rights activists who were organizing “courtwatch” efforts in New York City this spring, law enforcement records shared with the Guardian indicate.
The FBI, the documents show, gained access to conversations in a “courtwatch” Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.
A “joint situational information report” from the FBI and the New York police department (NYPD), dated 28 August 2025, quoted from a chat on Signal, the encrypted messaging app, and also characterized the court watchers as “anarchist violent extremist actors”. The two-page report was distributed to other law enforcement agencies across the US.
All of this reeks of autocracy. Today, I started carrying my birth certificate with me. How’s that for making American great again?

...they call it "paranoid delusion" when youre unsure who can be trusted, but one knows when they are being targeted, followed, or pursued for upholding #truth or #resisting the systems that #silence it. honestly, i think they use the term as a form of #psychological warfare to get the resistant to doubt their own minds knowledge in hopes the person discredits themselves internally and go silent instead of public.
"no one will belive you, youre crazy" is their defensive lie against the proof.

We definately need more people to resist yes, but the #corruption trickles down from those with no integrity and #psychopathic tendencies at the top.We agree that we need to stop glorifying them and to start #resisting. We collectively need to grow a #moralCompass and live with some #integrity, but for many its really hard to start when the #oppression and demands on them are so great.
Also when we show the truth we are today #deplatformed and #demonetised (or worse, see #JulianAssange).

@Nonilex Haven’t any of you read “On Tyranny”? It’s a very short read, but it says a lot about what’s going on. These agencies are all now corrupted at the top. Listening to those people? Of course you’re going to hear madness! Our best hope since Jan 20 has always been the people in those departments who are #resisting. To listen to this crap is an utter waste of time. To see TCF spout out XOs declaring down is up and then getting all depressed is playing into his hands. That’s what he wants! Don’t give it to him! There are people in every department who are doing their best to slow things down. Be like them! Resist! Work on 2026 elections. Fund ACLU. Do one thing, and don’t get anxious about everything else. You want to survive the next two years? Read the goddamn room.
