It's freezing out and it's Super Bowl Sunday, but we turned out to yell at ICE.

A cold, sunny day in Pittsburgh on the South Side. A crowd is marching from the ICE building back to the Hot Iron Bridge. It's a long line of people turning a corner. We're chanting NO ICE, NO KKK, NO FASCIST USA.

Oh wow, I’m so sorry I missed you! You should’ve texted me!

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

I can’t argue with this

The life and legacy of Pittsburgh activist Vincent Scotti Eirene Eirene was inspired by the Catholic Worker movement, which focuses on aiding the poor and homeless, and on opposing violence and injustice in all their forms.

Great piece by @cpotterpgh.bsky.social of @wesa.fm about a great activist, writer, justice provocateur Vincent Eirene and friend. Gonna miss you man. Go give G-d some of your good trouble. I hope to meet you someday at that big rally in the sky. www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

EXCLUSIVE: Hundreds of Jewish Health Professionals Say 'End the Genocide' in Gaza "To be silent is to be complicit," the healthcare workers write in an open letter.

News: Hundreds of Jewish healthcare workers from around the US and beyond are circulating a letter demanding an “end to the genocide in Gaza.”

They “reject the weaponization of accusations of antisemitism to suppress criticism of Israel and expressions of solidarity with Palestinians.”

I’ve honestly lost count how many times I have won and how many times I have placed in the top three in the Best of Pittsburgh Readers Poll. All I know is that I have a lot of wonderful ppl that I get to sing to, and I am so honored and so grateful for the opportunity to sing to you all! Thank u! 🙏
