Over a thousand people turned out in the snow in Hanover county to protest and the public comment line was SRO. Apparently the company backed down under pressure from all sides and won’t sell now.

Yesterday we kicked off NYC’s Free Tax Prep season. That means filing your taxes at zero cost, keeping every dollar of your refund, and not getting ripped off by for-profit companies.
Nearly half of all New Yorkers qualify. Get help—virtually or in person—at nyc.gov/TaxPrep

“Did they grow up under a rock??”
Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control.
This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.
