It's finally time to announce the next stage of the project I'm working on - gathering resources.
I'm building out a resource-oriented website with another activist. I'm putting out a call for resources - details are in the introduction of the form if needed.

Excuse me, they don’t care.
They are okay with it. They wish they could be doing the same level of fascism.
Stop pandering to cops, they’re not going to be nice to you because you’re licking their boots.

To all state law enforcement:
ICE and other federal agencies are giving you a bad reputation.
Remember, you work for and serve the people in your charge.
Treat them as you want them to treat you...
As for ICE, a bunch of want to be mall cops with a dictator in charge.
Their reckoning will come.

Good urbanism and a healthy community shifts behavior from caring for "my property" to "taking care of our street".
Be the change (municipal sidewalk plowing) you want to see in the world…
By clearing the sidewalks beyond your own home until the snowblower battery dies.
I got 5 other neighbors’ sidewalks done tonight bc the snow was so easy to work with!

Do you have a whistle? Are you whistle trained? Is everyone in your house (above age idk 10?) trained ?
(my dogs don’t like it!)
Form a crowd stay loud. Tell targeted neighbors to stay inside when they hear whistles & don’t open the door.

I saw an ICE raid today in Cedar-Riverside. The man they took said repeatedly he was a U.S. Citizen and had ID. They put him in a car they sped off at an unsafe speed. Not that I expected much, but I called 911 and reported their behavior. The dispatcher asked "what I wanted them to do about it."

It shouldn’t be unpopular to critique your elected politicians. Y’all will never be free cause you’re still idolizing politicians who are WORKING for your rights. You shouldn’t be having a popularity contest on someone who votes for you to have healthcare.
