Great article that clearly lays out the absolute fraud and incompetence of the current Administration and the damage it has done and will do wrt public health, trust in institutions, integrity and international cooperation…etc.

After 8 years at Spot Coffee in Hamburg, Kristen Criscione thought asking for a raise was reasonable. When her request was denied, she thought commiserating with co-workers was reasonable, too. But she was flabbergasted by what she said happened next: she was fired.

I’m choosing to be hopeful and joyful for forward momentum, however small or delayed it may be!!

That Ring “search party” ad was unsubtle enough that even my 10yo watched it and was like “are they gonna use this for ICE?”

Do you:
1) Live near/in Buffalo?
2) Like to organize stuff?
3) Hate what the government is doing to science?

If you answered yes, help me organize the Stand Up for Science rally on March 7th! I need reps from UB, Buff State, Canisius, D’Youville to spread the word. I need general support. DM me!

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

Reading this, what I’m hearing is if the Bridge Authority (or DOT, or any number of agencies) wanted to fix it, they would.

If you can’t strike today for whatever reason but you want to contribute you can always just donate to our local or national orgs directly! Might I suggest Justice for Migrant Families? www.paypal.com/US/fundraise...

This is testimony…

📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti.

“After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

You gotta admit, their names sure are a cosmic coincidence.

This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

I haven't been able to find a recent update on Dr. Shovgi Huseynov. Does anyone have links or more information?

I just watched the video of the latest ICE shooting in Minneapolis, killing a civilian. It's sickening to see what is happening in and to our country.

ICE needs to get out of not just Minneapolis but all cities and states. They are not creating a safer country, but a much more dangerous one.

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out.

As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class.

Here's what happened:

Agreed, what a schmuck.

Flyer for Village Of Hamburg, New York community update meeting. It will be held January 28, 2026 630 to 8:30 PM at Hamburg high school cafeteria. Meeting highlights include village project updates, connecting with neighbors and an update on the new village comprehensive plan. There is a QR code to take a survey.

Hyper local post: January 28th is the Village of #HamburgNY Annual Community Meeting! Mark your calendars and spread the word. Attending these kinds of active community events is incredibly important and actually fun!

Lawmakers outraged over ICE detention of UB medical researcher Rep. Tim Kennedy, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz and Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan express outrage over the ICE detention of UB scientist.

Dr. Shovgi Huseynov should be released immediately. He is a contributing member to our community as a scientific researcher, a husband, and a father. I was able to confirm that he is a well-respected employee of the University at Buffalo. 1/3

ICE detains UB researcher after his attempted return from Canada A University at Buffalo medical researcher was taken into custody after attempting to re-enter the United States earlier this month.

They are taking scientists, too.

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says amandascgorman Minneapolis, Minnesota For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose, Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been. Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love * better angels of our nature.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

⚠️ A notice from the City of Buffalo:

In advance of anticipated severe weather and high wind gusts, the Skyway will close at 6:00 AM Monday, Dec. 29, until further notice. Plan ahead.

🏃‍♂️ I’m running for NYS Assembly in the 149th District to fight and win for working WNY families—because Albany needs to learn that there are NO EXCUSES not to FIX WHAT'S BROKEN in our economy, politics, and government.

Here’s why I KNOW we can do it.

(above images of the Target, Amazon, and Home Depot logos that have been crossed out) We Ain't Buying It Target Companies This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re saying “We Ain’t Buying It” and asking Americans to hit pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=ind_wabi

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I was honored to march and stand with Hyatt Workers United today as they fight against illegal union-busting and for a contract that pays them a living wage.

Buffalo is a union town, forever and always ✊
