Cville local. Overeducated carpenter. Fascists eat shit, liberation for the rest. The future's looking rough, but hope is our duty.

not sure a bio thing’s always necessary or even wise but I’m bored so here’s a summary of already shared info. I’m a staff carpenter at large institution; have a BA in philosophy and MS in a healthcare adjacent field but that didn’t work out so I rebuild Jeffersonian roofs and renovate offices now.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

ending the TPS for Myanmar is an unmitigated humanitarian disaster which will end up sending people to torture and probable death.
This is really concerning. The Junta in Myanmar will arrest, conscript or kill many of those the US may return.
We honestly cannot understand how the US admin can say the situation in Myanmar is improving when ALL EVIDENCE IS TO THE CONTRARY.

worth noting that the digital safety training Emily mentions was part of the People’s Activist series, which I genuinely believe is one of the most important and useful community/civic society programs we’ve had here in ages. so grateful to those organizers.
