Abolish ICE is merely the starting position. This below is the correct one.

Faith Leaders Unite for Call to Action in Minneapolis A social worker and Zen practitioner reports from the January 23 “ICE Out of Minnesota” general strike and day of action.

“One of the most important things that Buddhists—and interfaith and secular folks—can do in response to this moment is truth-telling: witness and testimony about what is really happening, countering misinformation.” –Felicia Washington Sy

And the DCCC has now picked our candidates for us so they can slather them in AIPAC & Palantir $ and we won't have to vote in any nasty ol'primaries. They *are* apex predators when it comes to guarding against normal, people-centered candidates running for office. www.reddit.com/r/wisconsin/...

Hannah Spencer: the Green MP speaking to everyday people’s frustrations Winner of Gorton and Denton byelection was driven into politics by growing gap between super-rich and the ‘rest of us’

The small, brave band of MPs who represent the trampled, not the tramplers, has a very welcome new member.

We should all ask ourselves why, in a supposed democracy, such representatives are so rare.

Kaul has not done anything to Wisconsin’s 2020 false electors.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

So the @electdemocrats.bsky.social has now decided we don't get to choose our own candidates. They have chosen for us. F the DCCC @wajali.bsky.social was correct. They have learned nothing. F the Ds.

Replying to @chunlifuu My two cents as a Black woman with Tourette Syndrome. We need to be looking at who on the BAFTA team okayed that moment to be aired when they had the ability to edit that out. ... TikTok video by Jhónelle Bean

In response to the very complicated situation that happened at the BAFTAs, it's important to center the voices of those with the overlapping identities involved.

Because intersectionality is useful, y'all!

Dear @baldwin.senate.gov Defund DHS #AbolishICE youtu.be/5-KDUOHEZFk?...

It depends. I have a Bolt. There's a FREE lvl 2 charger on a bus line near my home in a little Midwest town. I charge for free & take the bus there & back abt once a week. I also do have a driveway and 240v outlet/charger but really don't need it. Slow charging sucks but there are other options.

We had $18k in rent requests come in just today (so far).

We’re anticipating needs at our neighborhood school to be over $100k again this month, but this time donations are WAY down. We don’t have enough money to cover everyone.

Please help us keep our neighbors w/ young kids from being evicted!

and yet, they keep painting them.

hmm. Food or AI???

List of favors to the oil industry from the Trump administration.

Big Oil flooded Donald Trump’s campaign with cash.

Now, they’re getting billions in handouts from his administration.

They figured out how to do this 3 days ago & as of right now, Brandi says from the stage, they've raised over half a million dollars.

What I Saw at a Maternity Ward in Kenya After the U.S. Cut Off Food and Foreign Aid Photographs tell a story of two mothers determined to help their babies gain enough weight to leave the hospital — only to face little to no food again.

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive.

One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy.

Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.
