Protest sign says: "Stop this Nazi shit"

It's January 6! A day to remember. A day to oppose the violence of fascism. A day to oppose the violence of war.

Multiple remembrances today. And at least one anti-war protest.

Good news! Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free!

For many in Alexandria, the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case is close to home. ICE has no valid case against him, but Trump keeps doubling down. Sadly this isn't over.

The photo shows a light-blue ribbon attached to a bicycle-parking stand. On the ribbon, someone has written "Release the disappeared!"

Sheriff Sean Casey, and his continued dalliance with ICE, are in our thoughts...
grassrootsalexandria.org/wading-throu...

Why? Because we are doing our best to serve flimflam curators and connoisseurs (aka pundits) here in beautiful Alexandria, VA. It's what we like to do

Image says "Alexandria (except Sheriff Sean Casey) Stands Against ICE." The image contains QR codes for more information, to write to Sheriff Casey and to volunteer: https://grassrootsalexandria.org/faq-is-sheriff-casey-doing-all-he-can-do-to-protect-us-from-ice/ https://bit.ly/3HdSjot https://bit.ly/NVMsolidarity

We agree with the Alexandria City Council and "call upon the Sheriff to cease his transfer of persons in his custody in response to ICE administrative detainers and warrants"

Vote! Vote! Vote!
Vote to enable change, but please keep protesting.

Both sides agree!
- Elites aren’t listening.
- Only elites can afford houses.
- We need to talk about racism.
- The deck is stacked.
- Everyone is in on it.
- Something must change.
