Thanks @maddow.bsky.social for shining a light on our efforts to De-ICE Citizens Bank! @de-icecitizensbank.org open.substack.com/pub/barbarak...

We can beat voter suppression with massive turnout. Make them pay.

Do you think electing moms to state legislatures might lead to governance that better understands what it means to be a parent? I do. T O N I G H T www.mobilize.us/stateswinmar...

"We have now before us a real opportunity to do good in the world, to resist and slow down the building of these abominable mass-detention centers. We don’t have all the power in the world, it’s true. But neither are we powerless in the face of wrongdoing," writes Rev. John Edgerton.

NEW: Have you been thinking about organizing an action at your local Citizens Bank branch? Now's the time! Join us June 6 for a national day of action to de-ICE Citizens Bank! Organizers, learn more and get the toolkit with everything you need to host. Let's goooo 💪

No more cash for ICE prisons! Not from Congress and not from Citizens Bank.

Thank you for highlighting this issue. Supporting these dirty companies is not just morally wrong—it’s a bad investment.

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

#TaxTheRich particularly #TaxtheUltraRich like Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, Theil, and the rest of those guys living in their own bubble.

If Jeff Bezos dropped a $20 bill while walking the #MetGala red carpet, he may as well leave it... One way we push back on this extreme inequality: properly #TaxTheRich so we can invest in public goods and programs that benefit everyone.

Citizens Bank should expect the pressure to keep escalating.

The deaths and serious medical problems in ICE detention centers is at least in part due ICE no longer paying third-party medical providers needed to help people with complex medical problems. #deicecitizensbank #iceout

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

Goddamn, Aziz Ansari took belt to ass last night on Kash Patel. I’m not even kidding when I say this might be the actual tipping point in Trump firing him.

51 hours. Shackled. 51 hours.

Yes! Great to see the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social continuing to lead the charge to #TaxtheRich in order to fund public services.   New York's richest billionaires gained $42.4 billion each last year. They can afford to pay their fair share in taxes. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Honestly, why would the EPA administrator so deliberately antagonize the soon-to-be House majority that will soon be investigating the agency and will control its funding? Because he's auditioning for a promotion to Trump's next Torquemada. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Kill USAID, revive AIDS.

Many trans Kansans whose licenses were cancelled by a recent state law now face a kind of poll tax: To vote, they’ll have to pay $16 for a replacement license with a gender marker that doesn’t match their identity.

"More than 250 people turned out. They held handmade signs with messages that read, “Ban warehouse detention camps” and “This is not okay.” A tuba player joined the protesters as cars drove by and honked in support..." www.abc15.com/news/region-...

Dude forgot to take the sticker off his pants

We’re working on updating the SaveUSFS.org website. Several of the brands many of you reached out to have refused to take action we’ll be moving them to a new “Refused to Speak Out” section and adding new brands to the pressure campaign.

Today, as part of Communities, Not Cages Day of Action, 35+ Wilmington Delaware area residents protested Citizens Bank for its financing the notorious private prison companies that operate many of the ICE detention camps. #De-ICEcitizens #boycottcitizens

Today we marched through Stop and Shop in Northampton Massachusetts (Citizens Bank located inside) and made a point!

Worth remembering…

Trump fired all 24 members of the National Science Board, the body that oversees the National Science Foundation. The letters read, “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I’m writing to inform you that your position as a member of the National Science Board is terminated, effective immediately.”

Today, I urge everyone to find and financially support an independent news outlet — one that will not be attending a spectacle dinner tonight to schmooze with the Trump administration while they berate the press.

Organizers now say more than 180 protests planned for this weekend -- Saturday April 25 -- against Trump ICE prison camps nationwide: www.mobilize.us?org_ids=44001

We had a good crowd at our Singing Resistance Great Neck rally to De-ICE Citizens Bank on 4/23/26. @boycottcitizens.org @de-icecitizensbank.org

What Bovino means: About a third of the population isn’t white.

“This Providence-based bank, which touts itself as community centered and socially responsible, has helped finance the largest and deadliest immigration incarceration system this country has ever seen.”

It’s not the $$ per se. It’s having customers and potential customers turned off their carefully crafted brand

Love seeing @lilrhodyvisbrigade.bsky.social on my way to work. 👊🏼

It’s ok to change your mind, Citizens Bank! In fact, we insist on it. Do the right thing! Stop financing ICE detentions now! @de-icecitizensbank.org @mass50501.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social

It's good that the ceasefire is continuing. But Trump should just end this war for good. His strategy of compounding one mistake with another is just making Iran stronger and continuing to fuel a domestic and international price crisis.

"As ICE continues to escalate its violence against immigrants across the US, community members have a message for institutions profiting from ICE’s illegal actions: stop enabling ICE abuses, or face the consequences of public outrage."

“For us ICE is a workplace security issue.”

The Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO), a coalition of more than 60 religious groups and unions, announced today that its members will pull $1 million from their Citizens bank accounts if the bank does not move quickly to end its relationships with the prison companies. #deicecitizensbank

Suits and conference rooms are just window dressing.The executives supporting the inhumane treatment of our neighbors should be greeted the same way ICE agents are.

Michael Waldman, president of the Brennan Center for Justice: "The more I read about DOJ’s SPLC indictment, the more abusive it appears. It reflects an unprecedented weaponization of that agency’s grave prosecutorial power. 1/2

A proud Minnesotan through and through. 10 years after his passing, I’m joining folks around the world in honoring Prince by listening to Purple Rain today.

I think it’s fair to say that anyone who read the Atlantic article and ever had a real job managing people could do a better job than Patel at the FBI.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years. Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.” wapo.st/4euUt1c
