On this first day of #BlackHistoryMonth let's remember that Black history isn't abstract. It's all around us. The first Blair County NAACP meeting was held in 1924. sites.psu.edu/harriettgast...

"The harder you grasp, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." - Princess Leia, Star Wars: A New Hope

Dismantle the agency and prosecute them. Quit pussy-footing around on this. You know we're gonna bully you into it anyway. Would be cool if you got there before more people are murdered. #ProsecuteICE

Let's be very clear, this is not the end. This is the beginning. Demand accountability.

"Many struggle w/ the pretext that ICE/CBP are in Mpls to enforce immigration law. Bondi’s letter makes vividly clear the real purpose is to compel opposition states — Free States if you will — through violence, to surrender sovereignty to brutal outside rule which treats them as a conquered people"

If you're freaking out and you can do this one small thing, please do it. If you're in Pennsylvania, call your Senators: Sen. Dave McCormack - 202-224-6324 Sen. John Fetterman - 202-224-4254 Ask them to vote NO on the DHS funding bill.

They called me a name SHOULD NOT end in potentially lethal (or any) violence. So for the record: Fuck ICE. You're white surpremacist fascists bent on destroying democracy and burying our history b/c you're too weak to handle even the mildest criticism.

an administration that understood it needed at least *some* public opinion on its side would dump bovino immediately

Director of the Emergency Management Department Rachel Sayre: “My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. “What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorising people...”

Really wish people would have listened when we said he ain’t it.

That wasn't "yes," which means it would be a lie too undeniable *for her.* That's a very high bar for something that would be too obviously a lie.

Especially if you're not in Minnesota. Especially if you have Republican senators. Please help us.

Fck ICE and Fck Valerie Gaydos while we're at it.

PA State Rep. Valerie Gaydos seems to think we're not strong enough as a nation to face our failures and learn from them. Apparently, Americans need to be coddled and only presented with positivity. That's just not how the world works, Representative. keystonenewsroom.com/2026/01/24/i...

Before ICE, I never realized how much of "keeping the public safe" involved wrecking cars.

We're thrilled to announce that the Blair County Democratic Committee has voted to nominate Caleb McCoy as our candidate for the 79th State House District! Don't forget to follow him on social! Links in the comments.

FRIDAY: Minnesota is standing up to ICE with a statewide day of nonviolent moral action and reflection. MN will step away from work, school and shopping to focus on community, conscience and collective action. Plus, there's a peaceful march and rally in downtown Minneapolis: www.iceoutnowmn.com

Today we strike. It’s January 23rd a day of truth & freedom. Don’t go to work, school, and don’t shop to show our power and send a message for ICE to get out. See you in the streets.

ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA: DAY OF TRUTH AND FREEDOM! Minnesota residents are being asked "to avoid school, work and shopping on Friday to show opposition to the continued presence of immigration agents in the Twin Cities and elsewhere in the state." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Yet again, Elon Musk is pushing the insanely racist Great Replacement Theory that has directly inspired several mass murders from his fellow white supremacists. The richest man in the world who controls a massive media platform is *repeatedly* pushing this garbage and it should be a global scandal.

This only happened because of immense pressure from all over the country and very much from Pennsylvania. Putting pressure on pur elected officials is ALWAYS worthwhile. Don't ever let them say no one told us. House votes to revive Affordable Care Act subsidies ground.news/article/hous...

"The Cuban government is a huge problem" How? Other than being nominally communist, explain how Cuba is a threat to the US. "They're in big trouble" does not answer that question.

The President of the United States just said: 1. Oil companies are gonna build infrastructure in Venezuela 2. We (the US) are gonna reimburse them. So, if you're keeping track, we're allegedly paying to build oil infrastructure in Venezuela.
