"Federal officials from DHS were eyeing a Kansas City warehouse for one of their next detention facilities for immigrants. The company that owns the Missouri warehouse, Platform Ventures, announced on Thursday that it is not moving forward with the sale." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
ICE wanted this Kansas City warehouse. The people resisted and won.
"This decision wouldn’t have happened without several weeks of protest and collective action by low-wage workers,” one organizer said.

Everyone should be reading @thefrankiedlc.news' newsletter during the Olympics, this was fantastic:
how 'heated rivalry' brought toxic fandom to the olympics

Thank you all 💜
