In between rallies and pickets and bargaining, we’ve been trying to highlight live Kickstarter projects our workers love on this page! Without access to our tools, we’re doing this manually but we wanted to highlight folks who support us on their projects! kickstarterunited.org/projects-our...

I can't even imagine how disconcerting the mechanical soulless slop machines must be if you're an organic soulless slop machine.

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

Everything we’re dealing with, this fresh hell every fucking day is thanks to the Dems/DNC kneecapping progressives instead of republicans.

77-year-old Maine Gov. Janet Mills has apparently been coaxed into jumping into the Maine Senate race, challenging Graham Platner in a Democratic primary.

The 40-year-old Platner has become a favorite of progressives and Democrats wanting a more muscular response to Trump. He has raised millions.

Straight to jail:

- Stephen Miller
- Hegseth
- Noem
- Homan
- Bondi

Just for these ICE attacks, just for starters. Plenty more should follow.

Prosecuting Trump - if he doesn’t croak in office - is harder thanks to fascist SCOTUS (most of whom should be impeached). But state courts can do it.

Minimum demands from here on:
- Abolish ICE immediately
- Prosecute and jail all ICE leaders nationwide, and any ICE goon who can be proven to have violated the Constitution
- Prosecute and jail all Trump administration officials responsible, inc. Cabinet level
- Abolish Dept of Homeland Security

I have 3 axioms that help me decide when to talk to people I disagree with:

1. To debate a subject is to concede that the subject is debatable.

2. To reason with a person is to concede that the person is reasonable.

3. To ask for evidence of a claim is to concede that the claim might be true.

In the 1970s The Symphony Road fires were a series of arsons coordinated by landowners to clear out tenants for development. Everything old is new again

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.
