We need to remember that racism, poverty, and militarism are all symptoms of the sick system that is capitalism--which is a system that profiteers on that which is necessary for survival, and thrives when people are divided and disempowered by race and class.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Voting despite the massive efforts for decades to roll back access to the ballot for Black and Brown people, women, people with disabilities, students, renters, and more is *non-cooperation* with this authoritarian regime.

Anyone typing up the pro-ICE stuff on the internet, I'm reporting them for inciting or supporting criminal activity and violence.

In case anyone needs to know where Boston stood today--our high temp was 18Β°F/-8Β°C with whipping winds. #ICEOUT

Ideally the case is dismissed. But I'll take jury nullification if it goes to trial.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims.

We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear.

Never again means never again for anyone.

"Vote Blue No Matter Who" is how we got a two party system pitted at each other like football teams instead of working to improve people's lives. We can be moral, committed *and* nuanced. And I say this as a 15 year member of my Democratic State Committee

A good reason to call their booking line and tell them how you feel.

List of deaths in ICE detention - Wikipedia

The name is so good, but we must center the at least 42 other people, mostly non-white, that have died in ICE custody since last Jan: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... Every life they take is equal and will be honored.

One of the solidarity calls to action is call and book, then cancel rooms at Hiltons. They're losing a ton of money and making it harder for DHS agents to stay there.
