Hi neighbors, due to the dangerously-cold windchills forecasted for this coming weekend, the Manchester free store will be held inside of the YWCA at 72 Concord St instead of at Veteran's Park on Sunday, February 8th. We will also be starting one hour early and running the store from noon until 2pm.

The storm has officially begun to crank. Multiple bands of moderate to heavy snow continue to push north and east across southern New England and into northern New England. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #VTwx #MEwx

‘It never warms up’: Surviving extreme cold in Texas prisons Despite Texas’ surplus budget, the state’s most vulnerable residents are at the greatest risk of extreme weather from climate change

What is extreme cold like in prison?

"My cell was like a walk-in freezer... I taped cardboard across the vent using sanitary pads and propped my travel-sized blow dryer on the high setting in my toilet hole roll as a portable heater"

By @kwanetaharris.bsky.social:

Mutual aid is beautiful. It’s a source of hope in times of fear. Though unfortunate that it is even ever needed, it also demonstrates what is possible when communities come together. It shows what is possible, what has always been possible, and what will remain possible after fascism is defeated

Have any NH cities declared a cold emergency?

Did you see ICE? Remember ALERTA. Be ready to report Activity, Location, Equipment, Requests for Aid, Time/Date of incident, and their physical Appearances.

If you live in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont save these numbers for the various ICE watch hotlines

ICE confirms Maine immigration surge, tells Fox News nearly 50 arrests have been made so far ICE deputy assistant director Patricia Hyde told Fox her agency is targeting 1,400 immigrants in Maine.

They should remove any barriers to utilizing shelters and be doing outreach. Anything less is neglect

Emergency shelters extend hours as New Hampshire officials urge people to prepare for cold As dangerously cold weather approaches New Hampshire, officials are urging people to make sure they are prepared.

The Rochester store is every Monday but any of our drop off locations work! We pick up regularly

And please get inside. Many people can't go inside due to unreasonable restrictions but the shelters and cities and whoever can waive those. It's dangerously cold out there and people will get hurt if they aren't allowed to bring their things inside.

Throw us a buck to buy hand warmers

That's it

That's the post

someone popped into my comments and was like “is anyone doing laundry for folks afraid to leave their house?” because their laundromat is usually full and is empty.

what an amazing idea. make a google form. send the link to people with a resource directory. start doing laundry.

if i could give one broad direction to people: stop being afraid of doing something. take some initiative. find a group near you. pick up the boxes that need hauling. bring food. take out the trash.

see a need that is unmet? get some friends together and do the thing.

organize your niche.

Downtown Minneapolis currently—

Jake Lang and a handful of other racists/RW propagandists are surrounded by about 50 cameras and some antifascists chanting him down. A banner the group arrived with has been broken.

if I see you dooming on the timeline you have to donate to the Minneapolis strike fund

Please consider joining this mission. It’s never been more important.

See you tomorrow

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.

Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

To that end, join us this Saturday to do some learning and pick up a zine. We'll keep taking care of each other, one day at a time.
