Protest against Renee Good’s killing at the hands of ICE. She should still be here.

While healthcare costs skyrocket and families struggle to make ends meet, House Republicans are more concerned with holding hearings demonizing social benefit programs than working towards solutions that lift up working people. They are failing their constituents.

Over a 1,000 of you came out! Luv Yinz Pgh!

Tripoli Overpass solidly standing in remembrance of Renee Nicole Good.

More pics from Tripoli today.

All the madness this week, yet Tripoli managed to keep Epstein Files a priority.

I really enjoyed the Ursula Le Guin exhibit at Oregon Contemporary. I got to type on Ursula's typewriter!

In Pittsburgh “ICE out” protest, locals decry “unchecked violence, abuse” by ICE and Border Patrol after Minneapolis and Portland shootings. buff.ly/ePkQylo

Snow is nuts

A somber protest march against ICE in the South Side in Pittsburgh heads toward the DHS offices

It is VERY cold and VERY windy, and it is snowing pretty hard here at the march, but that hasn't deterred several hundred Pittsburghers

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

I was listening to a Heated Rivalry audiobook, and when it ended, the "recommended preview" that Audible started playing was the first Harry Potter book. I've never smashed a Stop button so fast. Seriously? A TERF book? Audible's algorithm is messed up. I need a Block button for authors.

So just found out that Audible have silently removed six audiobooks from my library. Because I noticed, and complained, they gave six credits to buy them back again. They did this because the publishers updated the books and Audible just deleted the old versions.

ICE OUT FOR GOOD Pittsburgh Join us for a peaceful march and demonstration. We'll gather in the park for brief remarks before marching to the DHS/ICE Office for quiet reflection. Please bring a flower or a small pebble to lay at a memorial. Sunday, January 11, 2pm www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

But truly, still a fantastic investment opportunity for the petroleum business.

Omg I saw a sign today and was SO proud!

Instagram reportedly had a data breach that exposed the personal information of 17.5M users The leak includes usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses and more (via engadget)

I love this so much. I love this place. I love us. And they will never break us. Never.

I'm attending Indivisible's event, “ICE Out For Good- ⚫️🟡 Pittsburgh ⚫️🟡” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

Why Anthrocon doesn't come to Pittsburgh in the winter.

This survey took me about four minutes, go take it

Congrats to Pittsburgh Water on replacing the 14,000th lead service line! This is a major milestone for the safety and health of our neighbors as we work to get rid of every residential lead pipe in Western PA. I'm proud this was made possible in part by historic federal investments.

Sunday in Pittsburgh!

In case anyone else was wondering, if you'd like to report the Twitter app for violating Apple's TOS on CSAM, all you have to do is open its page in the App Store (linked below), scroll down to "Report a Problem," and fill out a short form. apps.apple.com/us/app/x/id3...

If you think you need to go to the Emergency Room in Pittsburgh this week you should think about it again because we’ve got hallway beds at the nurses station

ICE OUT FOR GOOD! Pittsburgh stands with Minneapolis! Please bring a flower or small pebble to lay at a memorial. Sunday, Jan. 11, 2pm. Meet at Three Rivers Heritage Park, corner of Hot Metal St. & S. Water St. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Save the Date! Come make some art with the Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse at the 28th Annual Pittsburgh Racial Justice Summit! Saturday, February 21st, at the CCAC Allegheny Campus. Doors open at 9am. Our theme this year: Building Community for Lasting Democracy and Racial Equity prjs.org

Amanda Nelson (AmandasMildTakes) of the excellent "Trump's Ls for the Week" videos wrote up a good explainer about ICE and how it might be changed by legislation.

It looks like the PG strikers are having thoughts about saving Pittsburgh journalism too. actionnetwork.org/forms/pledgi...

Decided to repurpose an old sketch for a new message from our giant pal: Protect Your Neighbors and Abolish ICE. Link in the next post to download and share a high-res version of the artwork, use it however you want. Maybe we’ll do t-shirts or something and donate the proceeds? #abolishice

Vigil in Squirrel Hill for Renee Nicole Good. The crowd is singing "Migration is Movement; Movement is Human." We must remember that Good is not the first person to be killed by ICE. We are holding nearly 60,000 people in detention, in awful conditions, usually without access to health care.

We just passed a bill in the House to restore the ACA tax credits for 3 years & ensure millions can keep their health insurance. Republicans could have avoided a govt shutdown months ago by voting for this. We need Medicare for All & to fix our broken system so no one is forced to ration care.

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE UNIVERSE PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Squirrel Hill neighborhood in Pittsburgh has a vigil for Renee Nicole Good tonight. At this point we’re singing “Migration is movement; movement is human.”

The Blocks' statement said they "will exit with [our] dignity intact." Wanna bet, you weirdos? I have time today.

“She should have complied with ICE!” Ask a Black person if that matters. Philando Castile was shot doing exactly what officers told him to. Oscar Grant was face down and officers shot him in the back. Breonna Taylor was sleeping.

The @eff.org has been monitoring and challenging technology that violates privacy - some tips and a lot of information in this recent article: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

404 Media is absolutely crushing it in their reporting on the technology infrastructure behind ICE, and all the companies making it happen.

I had to get it out of my system. My open letter to the Block family in light of today's news they are shutting down the storied Post-Gazette. I am just so very angry. open.substack.com/pub/breathin...

I honestly don’t think there’s a single figure in American history who has fundamentally shifted the way I understand the world I live in more radically than Fred Hampton. once you know the story you can’t un-know it and you see it repeated everywhere

Does anyone know where I can buy Chinga La Migra merch that will actually support immigrants' rights/anti-DHS causes???

Keep in touch, Yinz. Follow us at @stacypgh.bsky.social, @colinbwilliams.com, @awaltz.bsky.social, @marsjohnson.bsky.social, @alitrachta.bsky.social We will miss you. 💔

BRAVA, Ginny. She speaks for all of us. Read the whole piece. "Don’t for one day for the rest of your time in Pittsburgh believe that we will see you in a restaurant or on the streets and not call out to you. To shame you. To remind you of what you destroyed."
