We put together IFAKs for protests. Our group specializes in de-escalation training, environment awareness training, & life-saving street medicine awareness. One of our certified EMTs shares information about how to respond to med emergencies & get people to safety.

#streetmedicine #safety #protest

IFAKs are excellent for carrying on-the-go. You never know when there could be a medical emergency even outside of a protest environment. You never know when you could save someone's life.

This isn’t particularly new. We’ve been here before. Chechnya, #Georgia, #Crimea, #Donbas, #Syria. Each time, Europe’s response was weak. Each time, it sent humanitarian #aid and hoped the #Kremlin would come to its senses, as if it were just having a tantrum and not executing a long-term imperialist project. Even when #Putin turned Belarus into a vassal state and built military bases along #NATO’s border, too many in Brussels and Berlin whispered, “Let’s not escalate.”

"A Georgia mother was forcibly removed from a school board meeting Tuesday night after saying just one word out of turn.

Lena Kotler, a mother of three, was manhandled by four police officers at a recent City Schools of Decatur Board of Education meeting for speaking out against proposed changes to the district's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Kotler shouted 'Cowards!' at the board members, after which a recording of the meeting shows Board Chair Carmen Sulton asking her to leave.

'I said one word, I have already stated I have no intention of speaking again until public comment,' Kotler said. 'I'm going to sit here, I have offered that if it makes the board feel comfortable you as a security employee are welcome to sit next to me. If I speak again outside of public comment, I will leave. I have the right to be here, I have not used harsh language or threats.'

The officers then approached Kotler, who remained seated, and forcefully lifted her out of her seat before dragging her out of the room."

U.S.-born American citizen under #ICE hold in #Florida after driving from #Georgia

#JuanCarlosLopezGomez is being held even though a county judge found his birth certificate 'authentic' and said there wasn’t reason to consider him an 'illegal alien.'

By Suzanne Gamboa, April 17, 2025

"A U.S.-born American citizen was being detained at the request of immigration authorities Thursday despite an advocate showing his U.S. birth certificate in court and a county judge finding no reason for him to be considered an 'illegal alien' who illegally entered Florida.

"Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, 20, was arrested Thursday evening by Florida Highway Patrol and charged under a state immigration law that has been temporarily blocked since early this month. Details of Gomez-Lopez’s arrest and detention were first reported by the Florida Phoenix news site.

"After inspecting his birth certificate, Leon County Judge LaShawn Riggans said during the hearing that 'this is indeed an authentic document,' but that she did not have jurisdiction beyond finding no probable cause for the charge.

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s role is to enforce immigration laws that generally apply to noncitizens. American citizens are protected under the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution from unreasonable search and seizure, arrest and detention.

"Nonetheless, he remains detained locally at ICE’s request, said Thomas Kennedy, a spokesperson at the Florida Immigrant Coalition who attended Thursday’s hearing.

" 'Everything tracks for him being sent to an ICE detention center,' he told NBC News in a phone interview.

"NBC News has reached out to state and federal authorities for comment.

"Lopez-Gomez was in a vehicle with other passengers and was traveling to work from Georgia when they were stopped after entering Florida.

:A sweeping immigration law signed by Gov. #RonDeSantis in 2023 makes it a state crime for an undocumented immigrant over age 18 to enter the state illegally."
