All out to Foley Square, Manhattan tonight at 5:30pm.
This link leads to the protest's demands from Hands Off NYC.
There is the possibility that these guys just lacked situational awareness, which makes it all the more important to REMIND THESE GUYS THAT IT'S ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO PLACE THEMSELVES BY BALLOT BOXES.
ICE agents shot a man again yesterday, this time in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx. Oscar Belgal is an immigrant from the Dominican Republic and was, at least according to DHS, the target of their enforcement operation. Early reports are they surrounded him in a car with a five-year-old child believed to be his son in the backseat and fired at them at least seven times. Confirmed to be on the scene is ICE agent Brendan Cuni, who has repeatedly been named in lawsuits by immigrants alleging he beat them and shot them with stun guns. The child is uninjured, and Belgal’s injuries were not considered life threatening.
There’s a lot we still do not know about this shooting. But given ICE’s ever-growing record of spewing blatant lies to excuse unjustifiable violence by their masked thugs, we obviously cannot count on them to provide the honest answers we need.
Hands Off NYC is demanding an independent investigation led by the New York Attorney General’s office and the local district attorneys, in addition to the public identification of the shooter. 🗣️ Let’s join them in contacting the offices of AG Letitia James here, Bronx DA Darcel Clark here and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg here and telling them we expect them to do everything in their power to seek justice. 🗣️
🗣️ They’re also urging Bronx business Kingsbridge Associates and the local Target location to cut ICE off from access to their parking lot in this area, which elected officials have already formally requested. We can reach out to Kingsbridge and this Target with the same ask here and here. 🗣️
Trump is quickly trying to escalate things, to bait us into violent protest so he has an excuse to call off or interfere with the elections. Don't fall for it -- channel that energy into campaigning and getting out the vote. If you need to let out rage, use it to loudly protest things like high gas prices, Flock surveillance, and data centers -- things that have EVERYBODY hating him for.
There seems to be a concerted efforts to downvote No Kings announcements in local subs. Anyone else experiencing this? We experience this every time we have an event and it feels like there is some organized brigading either by bots or other people to limit our reach. https://www.reddit.com/r/missoula/s/27YDH0eNqO
MAGA's war on America is fundamentally an attack on everyday Americans by the 1%, and for-profit banking plays a large role in this conflict. The 1% sit back and collect dividends on the mortgage interest we pay on our homes. They sit back and collect dividends on the exorbitant banking fees that we pay. They avoid taxes by living off of loans against their vast inherited assets.
Credit Unions are nonprofit banking cooperatives owned by the account holders rather than greedy investors. The fees they collect essentially get paid back to the community in the form of favorable savings and borrowing rates.
In this way, Credit Union membership is an act of community defense, mutual aid, and consumer protection, and we should encourage our friends and neighbors to join in.
CORNELL 7 / I AM JANE DOE!
I AM JANE DOE.
WE ARE ALL JANE DOE.
JUSTICE IS THE ONLY ANSWER!
I feel it is time to organize! I want to begin organizing nationwide the I AM JANE DOE protests. Who's with me to help plan and coordinate??!!
We are done being silent. We are done watching systems protect abusers while women are left to carry the life long trauma. What happened at Cornell with the "Cornell 7" isn't an isolated accident—it is the direct product of a toxic, predatory system that treats women like property, like disposable objects, like sex toys for frat boys.
Enough is enough. We are sick and tired of being abused. We are sick and tired of watching Greek life culture act as a incubator for predators, where men are taught they can violate women with impunity and hide behind institutional protection. If fraternities exist to foster this kind of behavior, then the system needs to be dismantled and frat houses need to be banned.
WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR JANE DOE
Every single one of us has been forced to navigate the fear, the anger, and the injustice of living in a society that excuses this violence. But we are not backing down anymore.
When one of us is attacked, all of us are attacked.
I AM JANE DOE. YOU ARE JANE DOE.
I would like to start organizing coordinated, relentless, nationwide protests to stand with Jane Doe, demand real accountability, and force every single university and city to confront the epidemic of campus sexual violence. We will not be swept under the rug. We will not be quiet.
If you are ready to stop taking this lying down and turn your rage into power:
Comment your city below so we can form local organizing cells.
Share this post to build the network.
Stand up. We are mobilizing, and we are taking this to the streets nationwide.
We will not stop until every survivor is heard and this system is burned to the ground. Mobilize now.
JUSTICE FOR JANE DOE!

Like many of them were planning this over DECADES and did they just not update their goals based on how we are culturally now vs the 80-90s?
Did they really think all of America was that stupid? Obviously they still have their easily manipulated audience, but were they really that shortsighted?
What I’m seeing from them is a panicked response to overwhelming opposition that they don’t account entirely for and they’re trying everything and the kitchen sink to scare us or fool us into believing we’ve got the election secured.
They’re planning for the turnout now, but it’s so obvious that they’re either going to fall apart or possibly become violent.
What do y’all think?
I’m noticing that some of the No Kings RSVPs for Oct 17th are asking people not to bring signs. Does anyone know what the general advice is? We were going to make and bring our crazy signs but if the organizers are asking people not to do that, then I don’t want to waste time making something (I’ll still go). Hoping maybe someone knows on this sub.
