“Judge Young agreed, describing the behavior of Mr. Rubio and Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, as an “unconstitutional conspiracy” to “pick off” a few students with an eye to “violating” the free speech rights of thousands of noncitizen scholars.”

What happens when you get 3 organizers together at the Bernie Sanders rally?

You can’t stop talking about policies that will actually help working families.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Analilia Mejia for Congress in NJ-11.

A former union organizer and national political director for Bernie 2020, @analiliafornj.bsky.social is running to bring real organizing — not politics as usual — to Washington.
