2025:

uhhhh I mean who among us hasn’t forgotten that we ordered food to be delivered to the house and fell asleep with the door wide open and our genitals out what a bitch

In the face of hatred and division, there's nothing better than being with our neighbors, family, and friends.

What a beautiful day to stand up for democracy. We are the UNITED States of America. We will continue to weave the fabric of our community so tight it cannot be torn apart.

We’re back at the Broadview Processing Center protesting ICE this morning.

The bad news? We’re still lacking accountability, transparency, and our First Amendment rights.

Join us today at 1930 Beach Street. See you soon.
