1st, we hosted a Rapid Response Training w the Deportation Defense Network & Lawyers’ Committee, teaching community members how to take action if ICE/CBP shows up in our neighborhoods. 250+ folks were in attendance at the training, which took place @ Bell Street Chapel in PVD, RI.

For generations, working people have come together to fight for fair pay, affordable health care and retirement security. Our parents and grandparents demanded more and won. Now, it's our turn.

Billionaires are creeps and such a class should not exist. This applies to the Krafts & the Allens. (If you gave your support for a team based on their owner's ethics, you could only root for Green Bay.) Given this, I say GO PATS!!!!!

Huge victory.
They told Taylor Rehmet this seat was unwinnable.
They told us not to waste resources.
Now the GOP lost a Texas State Senate race that hadn’t gone blue since the 90s.
This is what early support + candidates with lived experience looks like.
Run. Everywhere.

That some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful men were writing crime e-mails to crime man Epstein on gmail suggests two non-exclusive things:
a) Our meritocracy isn't all it's cracked up to be;
b) Our overlords operate at levels of arrogance & impunity that make consequences unimaginable.

These are the Haitians attacked by Vance in 2024 at the urging of Canadian neo-Nazi Geoff Martin, aka "Captive Dreamer," who he appears to follow closely.
They're currently here legally. The admin is abruptly making them illegal, then removing them in a 1940s-style militarized cleansing campaign.

Fucking hell.
I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
