If there’s any lesson so far in Trump’s second term, it’s that playing nice isn’t just bad optics — it’s a losing strategy.
"Justin Hansford, a Howard Law professor and founder of the Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Center, argued that #capitulation had only emboldened Trump. 'The more that they cave in, the more damage that gets done,' said Hansford."

"Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., capitulated to President Donald Trump and the GOP over the budget this week, sacrificing one of Democrats’ last pieces of leverage as Trump bulldozes the federal government and jails activists. Schumer defended voting yes on the GOP budget that would neuter the legislative branch, arguing that he had no choice but to give in or face a government shutdown. He’s not the first to make that kind of decision.
"Leaders of businesses, universities, and nations across the globe face the same question: Should they fight Trump, or hope that by giving him what he wants he’ll somehow do less harm?
"Far too often, these leaders have chosen appeasement over #resistance — and, in return, gotten nothing."

New York — "Demonstrators from a Jewish group filled the lobby of #TrumpTower on Thursday to denounce the immigration arrest of #MahmoudKhalil, a #ProPalestinian activist who helped lead protests against #Israel at Columbia University.
"The demonstrators from Jewish Voice for Peace wore red shirts reading 'Jews say stop arming Israel' and held up banners as they chanted 'Bring Mahmoud home now!' on the lower level of the Fifth Avenue building's public atrium.
"After warning the protesters to leave, police said they arrested 98 people who stayed on various charges, including trespassing, obstruction and resisting arrest.
"Khalil, a 30-year-old permanent U.S. resident who is married to an American citizen and who hasn't been charged with breaking any laws, was arrested outside his New York City apartment Saturday and faces deportation. He's being held at an immigration detention center in Louisiana."

"In my varied career, one thing I’ve done is write some organizing guides. The most (in)famous is my 40 Ways to Fight Fascists: Street-Legal Tactics for Community Activists, but I’ve done others about getting involved in activism for the first time, first responses to online harassment, and how to shut down fascist events at music and other venues.
"Of course I’ve looked at other guides, and so I’ve come up with a list of over 30 that are helpful when organizing against fascists—or being threatened by them. They will walk you through how to: organize communities to oppose the Far Right; document Far Right activity; confront their beliefs in schools and libraries; utilize digital security; and provide emergency medical care. I’ve also included some very brief thoughts on each."

MUNICH, Germany (AP) — "More than 200,000 protesters rallied in Munich, Germany, on Saturday against #FarRightExtremism ahead of the country’s #GeneralElection.
"The far-right, #AntiImmigrant #AlternativeForGermany, or AfD, is in second place in recent polls and has prompted widespread protests across the country before voters cast their ballots on #February23.
"The protest at Munich’s Theresienwiese — where Oktoberfest takes place each year — brought a significantly larger crowd than expected, according to the German dpa news agency. The event’s organizer estimated the crowd could be up to 320,000 people, many of whom carried signs against the AfD with slogans like, '#Racism and #hatred is not an alternative.'
"The protest was supported by #ActivistGroups as well as the #MunichFilmFestival, #churches and Munich soccer clubs FC Bayern and TSV 1860, among others. Police told dpa that the demonstration was peaceful.

"Similar #protests attracted large crowds on Saturday in #HanoverGermany, #RostockGermany, and elsewhere in Germany, mirroring other demonstrations that have occurred across the country in recent weeks."

And it seems #AugustaMaine had a decent turnout today as well, so that's good.
But even though I was there by myself, most folks who saw me were supportive, a few thanked me, and only one #MAGA-type said that my protest was "Bullshit!" To which I replied, "You'll find out soon enough."
I don't mind being a protest of one, but next time, I plan on bringing some pepper spray just in case, and some cash for unhoused folks - who were way more supportive than some of the well-off passerbys.

"Roughly 300 people gathered in front of the old Florida Capitol in #TallahasseeFlorida Wednesday afternoon to protest the Trump administration, including the president’s actions against #immigrants and #transgender people.
"The protest, which went on for hours under the sun, was part of a nationwide movement that started online calling for 50 protests in 50 states on one day under the hashtag #50501.
"'We need to be loud,' Madalyn Propst, a lead organizer of the protest with the climate activism group #SunriseTallahassee, told the growing crowd as the protest began. She told the Florida Phoenix that organizing the event, which drew people from other parts of the state, had required a quick turnaround.
"Protesters held signs bashing President Donald Trump and #ElonMusk, plus #Project2025, which is the #HeritageFoundation’s strategy for the administration. Other signs called for the protection of #immigrants, #LGBTQ people, #ReproductiveRights, and the #Environment."

"Speakers generally did not identify themselves as part of a particular political organization, but they included State Sen. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield, who spoke of protecting #LGBTQ rights, and Abdul El-Sayed, director of the Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services, who said he was acting in a personal capacity.
"'(It's) about damn time that we showed up, stood up and took our goverment back,' said El-Sayed, who railed against Trump's actions to freeze federal money for things such as #HealthCenters, #MentalHealthServices and the #WIC program, or Special Supplmental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.
"Another speaker urged protestors to 'flood the phone lines' of elected officials to register their concerns.
"'A lot of us are here because we understand the danger we are facing, and we know that today is the time to act,' she said. 'We will not sit on the sidelines and watch as our rights are ripped way and the billionnaires dismantle our democracy, stripping it for parts.'"

Hundreds turn out at Michigan Capitol rally tied to national anti-Trump movement

Hundreds of people rallied in front of the State House on Wednesday, February 5, 2025 as part of the national movement to protest the #Project2025.
"Protesters have taken issue with several recent actions by Trump and his administration and are urging federal workers not to comply with the president’s incentive to resign.
"The national movement — 50 States, 50 Protests, 1 Day — has gained traction on social media. It seeks to fight #fascism and support #HumanRights through protests at every state capitol building.
"Graham Baker of East Wakefield expressed frustration with what he called an overreach by the Trump administration, especially in regards to access to federal payment systems granted to #ElonMusk. ;I’m just shocked at … how it’s been done by an unelected oligarch with a couple handful of minions who are all up there, taking personnel records, going through them specifically looking for a purity purge. This is all the stuff which is outlined in Project 2025.'
"The state capitol protests coincided with a rally in Washington where hundreds of supporters of the U.S. aid agency protested the dismantling of the independent government agency."

PROVIDENCE – "Several hundred anti-President Donald Trump demonstrators, responding to an online call for protests at the capitals in all 50 states at noon on Wednesday, marched around the Rhode Island State House chanting 'Hey hey, ho, ho, Elon Musk has got to go.'
"Similar chants went up at other rallies on Wednesday, including New York where protestors chanted '#DeportElon!' and Georgia, where protesters carried signs with messages like '#StopMusksSteal' and '#NoKingsInTheUSA.'"
One protestor said:
"They hate the Black people. They hate the Mexican people. They hate trans people. They hate women. They hate everything that is not white male and Republican. This is a country of people. We are all different. Thank God," she said, urging the crowd to "keep the pressure on ... get involved with a local organization."
"I know that we're all overwhelmed," she said. "They want you to pay attention to the breaking news because they know that it incapacitates you. It gets you worried. It gets you silent and that is not acceptable at this time. This is our country."

ABC News: “On corporate earnings calls since Election Day, executives at the country’s top private prison firms have embraced Trump’s immigration agenda as a potential windfall if the federal government requires contractors to construct new detention facilities and provide additional support services for the unprecedented effort.”
