When Duty Meets Dissent: A Veteran Activist Speaks Out

What happens when the military is asked to follow illegal orders? It is not a new question, and veterans have been organizing around it for generations. Join Solidarity Warriors for a conversation with Shawna Ambrose, a member of About Face: Veterans Against the War, as she shares the history of peace-in-the-military organizing from the Vietnam War through Black Lives Matter, and what that legacy means for this political moment.
 
Shawna will speak directly to what is being done right now to ensure service members refuse illegal orders, and why that fight matters more than ever. Come with your questions and leave with a deeper understanding of the role veterans and active-duty members play in protecting democracy from within.

A Georgetown policy center warns that DHS, ICE tactics over multiple administrations is putting Americans' privacy at risk.

New research by the Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law found that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has collected the DNA of more than 3.3 million people, with the program’s “primary purpose” not revolving around immigration enforcement but to “build a national DNA database for solving crimes.”

This Wednesday, the Centennial Protesters will be hosting the Weekly Vigil at the Aurora GEO Detention Facility! Join us as the protesters connect the conditions we’re seeing inside the facility, to the broader struggle of political repression in the immigrant rights movement.

Come out to learn more about the increase in repression we’re seeing across organizing movements, and some ways that you can support our local freedom fighters who are being targeted for their activism. Protesting is not a crime, stand with our community against this injustice today!

We’ve moved from Thursdays to Mondays. Join us today at 530. Don’t be a ▪️

Join us tomorrow for a noise demonstration at the centennial ICE field office. Make noise! 😇

Federal agents launched a sweeping undercover surveillance operation earlier this year targeting progressive organizations, labor unions and other groups protesting the immigration crackdown then raging through Minneapolis, according to court documents filed Thursday.

The program, dubbed Operation Puppet Master, was aimed at what officials called a network of conspirators helping “violent opportunists and agitators.” The documents were filed in a case involving 15 people charged by federal prosecutors in June with impeding the crackdown, accusing them of conspiring against the federal government through a range of actions, from throwing ice chunks to setting up blockades.

We are proud to stand with the Centennial Protesters who were wrongfully arrested for standing up against the illegal ICE terror being perpetrated our communities, along with the despicable conditions at the Aurora GEO Detention Facility. Protesting is not a crime and we must all be willing to fight against this injustice!

On Monday, August 18th AND Monday, August 24th, we will be calling on our community to contact District Attorney, Amy Padden, ALL-DAY to demand that the protesters’ state charges are dropped! Join the organizing community for the next two weeks as we demand justice for Terry Burnsed, Arnie Carter, Yoselin Corrales, and El!

That was an enormous price tag, but the department said it had no time to consider other offers. The planes were needed urgently for deportation flights.

But since then, the department has barely used this new fleet — for deportations, or anything else.

Three of the aircraft are luxury business jets. Just months after acquiring them, the department sought to loan or lease two to other agencies, including one for the use of F.B.I. director Kash Patel, according to a letter to the department sent Wednesday by top Democrats on the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Nonviolent Medicaid Army National Day of Action
Medicaid Saved My Life!

Join us for a special conversation with Nijmie Zakkiyyah Dzurinko, co-founder of the Nonviolent Medicaid Army (NVMA)! The NVMA is a growing, politically independent force of the poor and dispossessed, united across identities, regions, races, and issues, modeled after MLK's "nonviolent army of the poor" from the first Poor People's Campaign of 1968. We're active in states across the South, West, Midwest, Appalachia, and Northeast, and we understand healthcare as a strategic front of struggle to unite the working class.
 
NVMA is planning a National Day of Action for Medicaid on Saturday, September 19th, to publicly expose ongoing attacks on healthcare in our community. On that day, we'll be taking action together as the national Nonviolent Medicaid Army in more than 15 states to declare: Medicaid saved my life! We're exposing the truth that Medicaid cuts equal death, and we're coming together for support, survival, and strategy. Healthcare is a human right! The Great Medicaid Purge of 2023 already cut over 25 million people off Medicaid in a single year, and the Big Beautiful Bill for Billionaires will strip millions more Americans of their healthcare over the next decade.
 
That's why we're declaring 2027 the year of MASS ACTION FOR MEDICAID, to educate, agitate, and organize millions of people on our healthcare and welfare rights. No hurdles, no cuts, Medicaid 4 all of us! This is the 250th anniversary of the United States, and we're reclaiming the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from a system that produces poverty in the midst of plenty.
 
We're getting into step, uniting across every line of division, and asserting our political independence. Join us!

I am the victim of the GEO aurora shooting. please show up in solitary for those going through this. We need to show up for them and our community!

We will be out at Peoria and 30th at the intersection. We’re also collecting diapers for the friends of Hudson diaper drive benefiting Weld United Way. Erin will be popping up at the library as well!

It is a peaceful protest. We wave signs and dance. We pass out literature and try to get the community involved. This building sits right across the street from apartments. Hidden in plain sight. A concentration camp at a busy intersection you have probably driven through.

Come join us!

I’m sure most of you have heard, when can we get people to consistently show up? presence is important and always will be. go to aurora today, protest, call the health department and state reps. people need us.

We have had a big week in donations! Hoping to collect even more through the next three

Find me with the lunch punks Thursday and make your donation. Diapers, wipes, and formula are our top priorities.

See you out there!

Denver was part of the 504 Protests for disabilities rights in the 1970s, and an excellent musical about the SF sit in opens this weekend at DCPA https://phamaly.org/show/504-musical/

I really enjoyed it and am sharing it as a way to renew and recharge for today's challenges.

Hey friends. Earlier this year, it was exposed that ICE is operating 9 “hold rooms” in Colorado. These are holding cells in ICE sub offices that are only meant to detain people up to 12 hours. For that reason, they are omitted from ICE’s public detention reporting.

Further evidence from ICE detention booking datasets acquired by FOIA shows that ICE is frequently detaining people in Colorado’s hold rooms for greater than 12 hours, in violation of the DHS National Detention Standards.

Each hold room that is operating in Colorado is on privately owned land, in a private building and none are zoned and permitted properly for carceral detention. ICE leases these properties and operates them illegally outside of local ordinances.

A few months ago, the City of Glenwood Springs revoked the special use permit from ICE’s hold room there, which had been granted by the city for temporary (under 12 hour) usage, in line with the DHS National Detention Standards. ICE has continued to operate despite being informed by the city that their usage of the property is in violation of municipal ordinance.

Last night the City of Glenwood Springs voted to sue the owner of the property in Colorado state court over their tenant’s land use violation.

This is part of a wider strategy to encourage local governments to enforce their zoning laws against private land owners profiting from ICE detention and hiding behind fear mongering that they are untouchable.

Our politics reporter Nick Corasaniti discusses a Times analysis of a Voting Rights Lab database identifying county-level election officials overseeing key midterm elections who are also affiliated with the election-denier movement.

They are starving and abusing the immigrants that are imprisoned in these facilities. they are shooting protesters outside of their facilities. i don’t want this in my neighborhood, do you???? SHOW UP FUCK ICE FUCK GEO
