Michelle Merrill, PhD

Today we joined community partners from across the Bay at Kaiser Santa Clara Hospital to demand ICE OUT OF OUR HOSPITALS!

We deserve safe spaces for:

Patients.

Families.

Healthcare workers.

EVERYONE.

ICE OUT of fast food!

ICE OUT of healthcare!

ICE OUT of our communities!

NOW!

#ICEOUT

Take a moment to learn about noncooperation and how to do it

Amazing! Way to go Minneapolis!

Time to get out there, stand up, and say NO to the rise of fascism and ICE violence. If we don't use our First Amendment rights, we might just lose them.

Remember this feel good hit from 1968? Something about it just hits different today...

Survey: Most Americans Are Open To Ditching Their Cars — Streetsblog USA Automakers have spent a century and countless trillions of dollars making car-dependent living the American norm. But U.S. resident still aren't sold, a new survey suggests.

I think it's pretty remarkable how, despite the trillions of dollars we've spent and the century of constant campaigning we've been subjected to in order convince us otherwise, some part of us *still knows* that car dependency is a terrible way to live, and most people still don't want it.

List of Minnesota businesses closing for Jan. 23 anti-ICE strike First announced by faith leaders and unions on Jan. 13, Minnesota businesses have begun announcing plans to join the action.

This is a list of businesses across Minnesota that are closing tomorrow in solidarity with the economic shutdown. Huge thanks to every one of them for stepping up. If your business is also closing, drop it below.

Immigration officers claim sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, memo says The memo authorizes ICE officers to use force to enter a residence based solely on a more narrow administrative warrant

This is what fascism looks like. Use the word. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/immigration-officers-claim-sweeping-power-to-enter-homes-without-a-judges-warrant-memo-says

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

It’s not a sequence: the Nazi threat IS the climate threat.

So long as we keep using fossil fuels, the petroauthoritarians will have the world by the balls.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
