Members of POP are among 30 people arrested yesterday blockading the Krome ICE detention facility in Florida standing up to Trump’s deportation machine.
No human being is illegal. It’s time to stand up and shut it down.

BREAKING: 30 young people were just arrested after blocking an ICE detention facility near Alligator Alcatraz.
ICE is kidnapping our neighbors on behalf of fascist billionaires. It's time for every single American to stand up to their intimidation tactics. Let's shut it down.

I am seeking useful resources that folks have found to:
1. share with people who are seeking to keep folks engaged in activism/organizing work. Resources that may also help to combat burnout.
2. help people who are trying to get engaged to find their people.

Every day I feel hyperaware we are living in an even more blatant dual state
The dual state describes a society divided into a normal state, which operates according to set rules & laws, & a “prerogative state”, "which exercises unlimited arbitrariness & violence unchecked by any legal guarantees”

an incredible but heartbreaking response to racism:
The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

Very sincerely, every bit of travel we do in an EV, on a train, on a bus, on a bike/e-bike, by walking or rolling, or by other active transport, helps the climate, helps air quality, and helps national & economic security. We should fund these as national security infrastructure.

Truly the worst of the worst running the country right now.
Trump is nominating Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel.
Ingrassia has ties to multiple antisemitic extremists.
He called for X to remove a ban on Nick Fuentes and was spotted at a Fuentes rally, and also appeared at events with an alleged Nazi sympathizer.
