Another great turnout for #RhRR tonight on 7th Ave & Osborn in #Phoenix!
This is becoming the “party” #protest, for sure. That’s mostly because we hit Mi Patio for drinks afterward.
It’s gonna get too hot for afternoon #resist-ance actions in just a few weeks, so I’ll miss it. (But not the heatstroke risk!)
Know your protest rights.

It was sickening though also enlightening to hear NSW Premier #ChrisMinns on the radio (ABC) this morning. It helpfully clarified that fundamentally, the public reason for all the chaos in Sydney's CBD last night, the reason Minns insisted NSW police prevent any march from occurring, is at its core quite deeply bigoted and racist.
What Minns admitted to in that interview this morning is that he did not trust rally organisers to do what they said they would do. He did not trust that a rally route ending at parliament house wouldn't actually be a Trojan horse for protesters to suddenly break off through police lines and go rampaging on a pogrom through the streets, looking for Jewish people to harm. That is why there couldn't be a march.
Something like 100 rallies organised by the same people, at which we have followed the agreed route every time. A hundred rallies without any arrests for violence or flouting lawful police directions (indeed, the only charges of violence in the context of 28 months of anti-genocide protest are from a police officer recklessly causing grievous bodily harm to a political candidate who ran against Prime Minister Albanese and came second to him in his electorate).

Ars Technica: “Capture it all”: ICE urged to explain memo about collecting info on protesters. “Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) demanded that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirm or deny the existence of a ‘domestic terrorists’ database that lists US citizens who protest ICE’s immigration crackdown.”

A quotation from Henry Commager
The point is that when a nation silences criticism and dissent, it deprives itself of the power to correct its errors. The process of silencing need not be as savage as in Nazi Germany or in South Africa today; it is enough that an atmosphere be created where men prefer silence to protest. As has been observed of book-burning, it is not necessary to burn books, it is enough to discourage men from writing them.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1965-12-18), “The Problem of Dissent,” Saturday Review

But Trump-Miller want citizens & IMMs dead, detained or deported, so they can confiscate our homes/💰, esp if we're not white Republicans.

The Use and Abuse of UK 'Counter-Terror' Powers
Overview
How is the UK government expanding counter-terror laws? What harm is being done in the name of 'security'? And what can we do about it?
In the UK and around the world, we are facing increasing repression in the name of #NationalSecurity
From the #Prevent duty being used to label children as 'suspects' or suppress solidarity with Palestinians, to proscribing #protest groups as ‘terrorists’, the alarming and increasing use of #CounterTerror powers harms us all – especially racialised communities.

Imran Khan is right; the real & present danger to the right to protest can be summed up in two words that the Govt. is thinking of applying to the policing of protests:
'cumulative impact'.
This is not the first time this has come up, and we already know the danger that this slippery term involves for protests.
This is a Govt. that is seeking to (further) close down democratic rights - my parents (both old Labour) are spinning in the graves!
