Solidarity, not charity! We served chicken pot pie casserole and passed out survival supplies at this week’s distro.

Tenants rarely have legal representation during eviction proceedings while most landlords do, resulting in an unfair imbalance.

Please take a moment to make your voice heard and show support for the proposed ordinance to ensure tenants have a right to legal counsel!

it was always disingenuous claptrap but as someone who came of age in the Bush era it’s still genuinely stunning to see Rs go from wrapping themselves in The Troops to “vets are all lazy bums who don’t deserve jobs”

“Deaf President Now!” was of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a while. Such a cool story, the folks interviewed were hilarious, and it highlights an interesting part of social justice history.

If you need something to feel like maybe, just maybe, the good guys can win, it’s this doc.

Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest!

They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge.

Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

Unfortunately, SGF City Council passed Bill 2025-35. Anyone with expired tags is now subject to having their vehicle impounded at the whim of the police.

Hardinger, Jensen, and Horton voted against it, and in the interest of the working class.

Please let them know their votes are appreciated.

I’m still learning how to navigate the world on ADHD medication. I got side tracked today and spent an hour trying to make an origami paper crane instead of doing actual work. My focus was impeccable, just on the wrong thing. Oops. (No paper cranes were made, sadly.)

Mutual aid can take many forms. Sometimes it looks like totes full of coats, hats, and bus passes to share with folks who need them.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

🚨 STOP the City’s Unfair Towing Plan! 🚨

On February 24, SGF City Council is expected to vote on Ordinance 2025-035. If passed, police would have discretionary power to tow cars with expired tags from public property - punishing folks encountering barriers to paying renewal fees. Read more below ⬇️

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Yeah, that’s what happens when you let 20 year olds with minimal experience into your production systems with no oversight. Good thing we’re slashing government cybersecurity budgets and staff, right?

In case you don’t know (and I didn’t until recently), here is the city of Springfield’s process for making laws. We’re at the 2nd reading stage for the towing bill. There’s still time to email your council reps! The only ones who will benefit from this are towing companies, NOT working class folks.

The city wants tow cars with expired tags parked in public spaces.

This means:

❌ Struggling families losing their only transportation
❌ Workers unable to get to their jobs
❌ Impound fees making it even harder to recover

Join us Feb. 10 @ 6:30PM - 2620 W Battlefield Rd and say NO to the TOW!
