I watched cars get stuck in snow/slush this morning on a busy road while school children are dodging traffic bc sidewalks are blocked but sure, yeah, let's give more money to the cops

find one good thing you can do and keep doing it!!! Woo Fridge is a wonderful group 💕

Weather update from Goose this morning: snowfall totals around "no, thank you"

See u there, Western Mass

seems like a good time to have a civilian review board (with teeth, please) of the police - tomorrow Monday 1/26

it's cool the city can't tell you there's a parking ban but what's cooler is when they can't tell ppl about trash delays, so everyone puts their trash out a day early and it has the chance to blow around for 24 hours. really adds character to the neighborhood.

Hey, Mainers: maineimmigrantrights.org/mirc-resourc...

Massachusetts Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) shares its database with ICE 👍 every traffic stop, citation, warning is a collaboration. Insane we let these provincial Dem yokels get away with the "we don't collaborate" line

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE. There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it. Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance. 24 hours. Go. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...

why do they even make fat free half and half and why is it not packaged VERY DIFFERENTLY than regular half and half??? I've been bamboozled

what a fucking joke

narrator voice: they had not adequately cleared the sidewalks

excited to canvass today in Worcester, where I'm sure landlords and the city have adequately cleared sidewalks

let there be peace on earth and let it begin with my sons

Worcester invests 15 million in ICE's forced removal machine via its retirement fund 👍 a lot of never before seen city docs in this bad boy i just put up www.worcestersucks.email/p/tangled-up...

Okay, but you said you'd give ICE more money in exchange for some unspecified "restrictions" on them. Are you still open to doing that or are you going to abolish ICE?

ALSO: join the MLK Day of Action: Mon, 1/19| 9a-2 pm. 👉shifts: 9am & 11am 👉training, materials, coffee & donuts 👉 we will talk to neighbors about the LUCE Hotline # ✍️ bit.ly/4qNB6U8

driving between Boston and Sudbury a lot this week and wow, I wish the rich WOULD flee the state. then I could live in one of these houses. dang.

Worcester, standout (as every Friday) at noon at the federal courthouse downtown: ICE OUT FOR GOOD Sponsored by the local Catholic Workers

The LUCE network has been *doing* protection work since the beginning and has a ton of trainings this weekend. If you are in MA save their number to your phone and consider getting trained. www.lucemass.org

Today at 4. Council’s first significant action tomorrow will be signing off on a big tax deal for a developer that’s reliably stiffed workers and failed to follow thru on promises

We don't need to retrain ICE. We need to completely dismantle & stop funding it. It was birthed after 9/11 to target Muslims. It was consistently funded by both parties and used to separate families. They still do.

By Lila Dominguez, Editor in Chief of the Roosevelt Standard, news site of Roosevelt High School: "Later in the afternoon today my high school Roosevelt was paraded by ICE vehicles during dismissal. Our community and staff stepped up to protect one another."

The weekly Friday at noon Worcester protest at the federal courthouse is themed ICE OUT this week.

It's time for Americans to stand up to the racist lawlessness of ICE

You might not have heard, but the northeastern U.S. is in a COVlD surge. We use wastewater levels to derive estimates of the proportion of people actively infectious in each state (prevalence), e.g., 1 in 24 people in Connecticut.

ICE, get the fuck out of #Massachusetts 🖕🖕

It is not an "Ice-related shooting". ICE agents shot and murdered a 37-year-old unarmed woman trying to leave the scene of federal agents with guns and aggression. That's murder.

If you're heading to a protest, and i really hope you are, here are some concrete tips to protect yourself from government surveillance: touchgrass.fightforthefuture.org/protesting-u...

Central Mass: The Center for Nonviolent Solutions and Saints Francis and Therese Catholic Worker have put together an emergency standout TODAY (1/3/26) at 3 PM at Lincoln Square calling for no war on Venezuela.

Fuck, and I cannot say that enough, the New York Times.

This Week In Worcester and @billshaner.bsky.social have reported a lot on Mr. Duffy. www.worcestersucks.email/p/the-backla...

Golden Wok on Grafton St remains undefeated 🏆

nothing scarier to facism that people might believe they deserve to exist, be part of public life, and thrive the way they are now. if you don't believe you have value its much harder to be angry about your own oppression. so they're working overtime to make sure you don't think you deserve shit

never forget that fatphobia originates in white supremacy and has propagated itself as a tool of social control and one of many tactics to divide society against itself

fascists love it when you're busy counting points and spending all your money on new clothes or supplements every time the size of your body changes

The return of thin culture fueled by medical intervention happening at the same time as attempts to ban gender affirming care is too much

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

And it's going to result in children dying, which is fine by them if it means fewer trans adults.

Colleagues across New England and @gbhnews.bsky.social collaborated on this story, mapping out ICE’s mass deportation effort— and its impact. Take a look. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

it is not good when Massachusetts backs down on this sort of thing State officials scrub requirement for foster parents to respect children’s gender identity www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

properly funding public schools and ensuring all kids have access to a counselor, a safe place to sleep at night and enough food to eat would do way more to "protect kids" than anything you could do related to Internet policy but for some reason the "think of the children" crowd never wanna do that

"my ideology is love for my neighbors" ♥️

shrimply having a wonderful fishmas time

14 fewer beds than the temp RMV shelter. 3 miles from downtown, and 5 miles from the DTA. I do not feel like we are taking the housing crisis in our city nearly seriously enough.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

a smidge of good news (I'll take it!) bc of some promotion w the rental company, we actually only need to come up with $600 for the couple moving 💕🏘️🏳️‍🌈 (and again I complain: it should not be this hard for people who grew up here in Worcester to stay here in Worcester!!)

‼️🏳️‍🌈 WORCESTER: looking for help coming up with $2500; $1900 so a queer couple whose landlord suddenly died can move, and $600 to help a queer friend with food, gas, meds after he was DCed from psych inpatient. Both are local. If you're able to help: venmo @LydiaStephen 🏘️🏳️‍🌈 in the note. Ty friends 💕

everyone's like Lydia, how do you do it? How do you live with so much debilitating mental illness? and I'll tell ya, the trick is your best friends living two blocks away, having a baby, and then you get to hold the baby multiple times per week. that's the trick.
