We're currently working on a new format to make our site posts more accessible. Thank you for your patience and any sharing in this time. We hope to have constructive news soon.
Let's make Black Friday a small business celebration, not just a sale. We have a growing thread of small creatives & biz owners in the post below, and we'd love to see more artisans, indie book types, & creators pop in and drop shop links. Please feel free to share, shop, and protest with us!
Who says it's too cold to protest? After an amazing early November, let's keep the momentum going and show billionaires that buying a president and stealing from the economy is NOT the future of the United States of America!

When a small community learned ICE wrongfully detained a beloved neighbor, they collectively pushed for his release.

“When a lot of people get together, at least in my case, things are possible. Miracles happen,” Ruperto said.

Basically the UK judiciary is no longer truly independent. They're taking this judge off the case because he might rule against the government.

Starmer's sycophants need to stop threatening us with fascism under Reform: fascism is already here, wearing a Labour rosette.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

General Heleno fez parte da ala que queria dar golpe dentro do golpe durante a ditadura militar brasileira. General Heleno cometeu atrocidades no Haiti. General Heleno queria dar outro golpe no Brasil. General Heleno finalmente foi preso hoje, se isso não é motivo pra comemorar, eu não sei o que é.

Thread, today in St. Paul, Minnesota raid and attacks by federal agents.

Dana Thiede, KARE11:

"As word spread about the operation unfolding on Rose Ave., neighbors and activists calling themselves 'constitutional observers' streamed in, holding phones in the air to videotape what was unfolding."
Federal agents launch another operation in St. Paul
A witness said the number of agents "just kept growin' and growin' and growin," as did an angry crowd that was eventually sprayed with chemical irritants.

Throughout our #ChefsForPhilippines response, we’ve worked with local residents and restaurant partners to ensure meals reach the people who need them most. In Talisay, neighbors are making last-mile deliveries to elderly community members and families who cannot leave their homes to receive food.

When you do not protect the most vulnerable, what happens when you become vulnerable? Many believe the civil rights and liberties we're striving for are solely for "marginalized" peoples, but they are for COMMUNITIES that grow and change, as is the NATURE of HUMANITY.

ICE arrests, detains British woman with US husband and newborn when she shows up for her green card interview. She’s now in a detention center, separated from her 6-month-old. No criminal record. She had overstayed her visa.

Like many measures implemented in the US in the past year, this is a premature effort with no adequate preparation to prevent this from impacting the least equipped to navigate it—minimum wage earners, especially those in food service largely paid in tips.

Hey, #UK,
We saw this coming. It's never been "about the kids," but about controlling YOUR access to information and the GOVT'S access to your privacy. You guys have done some amazing voting this year, and we look forward to seeing you #vote this admin down as the time comes!
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.

The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.
