Thank you for going. One of my law professors, Bill Quigley, used to do this type of work in Haiti. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that we need to do it in America.

Fascism breaks the American brain.

Those photos do a LOT of heavy lifting. And the immediacy of the first person account supports them like a foundation. Solid.

EVERYONE needs to imitate this kind of documentation/witnessing.

I am not in NYC but interested in learning more about how folks are being trained to capture this evil process and turn it on itself.

Thanks for posting.

Yes, thank you for witnessing and sharing. This may be the first Yes Men post that made me weep, not laugh. I hope the honest judges remaining in the Judiciary are sharpening their proverbial knives for Nuremberg 2, which can’t come too soon.

Go to the courts and watch fascism up close — extremely useful

For those of us who haven't seen it with our own eyes, unlike you!

I think I need to invest in some smart tags and have them hiding somewhere under my skin. Then my family can find me when I’m picked up for demonstrating or more.

Maybe we can get a bulk price for some.
