My neighborhood is in the news for a horrible reason. But at the protests and vigils today, I saw humanity at its best.
People constantly distributing hand warmers in the subzero temps. People opening their homes and businesses. People setting out tables with supplies. People caring for each other.

“The murderers are ICE. They are who we need out of this city. Let us carry on our lives safely and not in fear of being shot. If we help a woman who slips on the ice, as I saw happen earlier today before that man was murdered… let’s say his name, Alex was murdered while he was helping.”

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.
You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

I told the White House the state must lead the investigation.
Let state investigators secure justice. As we process the scene, stay peaceful and give them space.
The State has the personnel to keep people safe – federal agents must not obstruct our ability to do so.

I learned that people can be motivated to care about government information. We just have to talk about it in ways that make sense and relate to their everyday lives. Like .... #publicdataisapublicgood
One of the best things about the #DataRescueProject is how freely our community shares information. So tell us: What is something you’ve learned from the DRP community? Or, what is something you want to know more about? No wrong answers. 😎

According to an @inquirer.com update this morning. The city of #philly is suing the federal government based on an agreement between the city and the government about the independence hall sites. The city will keep fighting for its history.
But our archive will never replace the power of the originals that were at 6th & Market. Again, the community fought to have the history recognized.

The erasure of history has begun. Today in #Philly, workers dismantled an exhibit honoring the lives of enslaved people. Not only was this a monument to their stories, but to the community that came together to support its creation. Today, the federal government dismantled it without their input.
