"Since at least 2014 we are watching a coup against democracy unfold. It is the combination of hybrid warfare, rise of the far-right, and tech coup.

How long can Europe hold the line if we don’t take defending our democracy as serious as defending our territory?"

My speech at today's #HandsOFF Our Democracy protest:

Defend Democracy · #HandsOFF our democracy — Defend DemocracySpeech by Defend Democracy at the 'Hands Off Our Democracy' protest in front of the European Commission, urging to them defend our democracy and our Europe.

Having trouble finding #protest events on #April19? That’s b/c they’re not all under one group, org, or individual…LOTS of voices are standing up!

Try searching these sites for events (leave out specific filters/labels, like 50501, #Indivisible, or #HandsOff for broader results):

mobilize.us/ (shows Indivisible and HandsOff events, among others)

#FiftyFiftyOne: events.pol-rev.com/search?sear

I put together a thread with (hopefully) helpful information about this weekend’s National Day of Action on #April19.

Feel free to add any additional information, events, suggestions, and resources you’d like to share with others.

(Note: I am not a lawyer, organizer, or expert in any of these topics. Just a concerned pineapple trying to help.)

It’s World Art Day! Art is a vital part of cultures worldwide, shaping everything from our homes to public spaces.

Some of the special places we love, big and small, wouldn’t be the same without artwork. Even CREATIVE Protesting.

Here’s some activist art for your feed to celebrate all the conversations of inspiration created by art over the years.

InstagramRefuse Fascism - Northern California on Instagram: "🚨 EMERGENCY! 🚨 Saturday, April 19, 2:00 PM at Union Square, San Francisco FREE KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA NOW! Join us at a rally and march with a unifying demand: The Trump Fascist Regime Must Go NOW! There is still time to stop fascism, but we must act now! In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America! Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration must take steps to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. Kilmar is a legal U.S. resident, and several members of the Trump administration have admitted that he was wrongly and unlawfully deported. And yet, they are refusing to comply with the court and bring Garcia home. Trump also threatened US citizens when meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, saying: “The homegrowns are next... You gotta build about five more places. ...It's not big enough.” If Trump can defy the Supreme Court and get away with deporting and jailing innocent persons, this means that nobody will have any rights that the Trump fascist regime is bound to respect. This is a pivotal juncture in the consolidation of a Trump Fascist America. There is still time to stop this but only if we act now…in our thousands and millions…going into the streets and building to the point where through massive non-violent action we create a situation in which the Trump regime cannot govern and implement its fascist program or even maintain its hold on power. #bringkilmarhome #freekilmar #freemahmoudkhalil #refusefascism #fuckfascism #fdt ##bayareaprotest #sanfrancisco #trumpmustgo #antifascist #constitutionalcrisis #humanrights #handsoff #handsoff2025 #amerikkka #immigration #immigrantrights #nooneisillegal"147 likes, 2 comments - refusefascism.norcal on April 15, 2025: "🚨 EMERGENCY! 🚨 Saturday, April 19, 2:00 PM at Union Square, San Francisco FREE KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA NOW!

The problem with a word like tyranny is for most of us, these words are an abstraction. We know it’s bad generally, but we haven’t lived under it. We haven’t been subjected to it. We haven’t seen our friends and family dragged away with black hoods over their heads never to be seen again we haven’t seen our houses burnt down and our lives destroyed by brutal state violence.

Handsoff April 5 got 5 million to protest. April 19 I hope to see twice as many people out.

[W]hen we miss big stories of this sort, it raises readers’ eyebrows — and their suspicions. And in our already deeply polarized nation and region, that is a most unfortunate outcome.

With Reunion Tower in the background, protesters March with signs that read "Democracy not Fascism!" and with the US flag upside down in protest against the Trump presidency.
