one thing being lost in discourse is that rapid response networks are just a tool. they aren’t the end all, be all here. the actual goal is to connect with neighbors! and now with the leaks, they’re not being handed out like they were go talk to your neighbors to find a chat! or you can make one!

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

the fact that this bullshit has even reached the supreme court is completely disqualifying to the entire field of law

If you haven't read this yet you should. And you should show it to everyone who refuses to use the word concentration camp or who tries to argue that "detention" camps are fine if we just do it "humanely." There's no such thing as a humane concentration camp and you can't reform them.

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

“the goal must be demoralization. It needs to be made clear to every ICE agent that, should they remain with ICE, they will soon be unemployed and potentially under investigation” yes.

"We've been through a lot. Like voting yea to confirm Marco Rubio, Sean Duffy, Doug Collins, and Brooke Rollins. Also making the Laken Riley Act worse & helping it pass. You know, standing up for what's right! Together, we can keep going through a lot."

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

as it so happens, i was on my way to see the “bus cuts” short documentary at the guild

The “right size” is when the bus to where I am going comes when I am going there and has a seat for me.

full route 1 to pawtucket, my first passed bus thanks to the mckee cuts!

Snow removal isn’t done until everyone can access the street. Sidewalks and bus stops are untouched throughout the city. Bus riders are standing in the streets. People are climbing over mountains of snow to cross the street, get to their cars, or get on the bus.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

"Forcing someone who owns an e-bike without a throttle that can’t go faster than 20mph to register their bike with the DMV, acquire a license, and buy insurance ... will absolutely harm efforts to encourage more sustainable transportation" [email protected] www.theverge.com/column/86621...

So for Dems, the win is: reiterating 3 things that are already law, 1 thing that is a best practice, and 1 thing that was already a rule up until 6 months ago? From the bottom of my heart: fuck off with this. And they didn't even include ICE out of hospitals, healthcare facilities and daycares.

not defending texas and florida development patterns, but when you don't build housing, you end up losing relative population... RI is set to go to an at-large state unless new laws start bearing fruit soon

I have a question. How come none of you are going to down there to get him

Everyone should be on Signal at a minimum, simply because acting like you have nothing to hide until you need it harms all of our privacy rights.

A reminder that Maura Healey is the ONLY Democratic governor in New England governor to have a collaboration agreement with ICE. Healey, despite her words, continues to use OUR tax dollars to provide free labor to ICE. Let her know it's time to de-ICE MA. www.mass.gov/info-details...

Paving the way for fascism

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

what is happening in the Twin Cities affects us here in New England, too. we must prepare for the interim and potential occupation of our cities, but also show resolve in the aftermath.

Hot tip for owners of vegan restaurants: you're not going to win over your customer base when you rail against the bike lane in front of your business, refuse to install bike racks, and drive around in a Cybertruck.

"We lived happily during the war," Ilya Kaminsky

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Beyond the obvious need for tribunals for the crimes Noem and others have committed and enabled, bringing shame back seems fundamental to the enterprise of rebuilding this country. No society can survive without a general understanding that this kind of shameless lying is unacceptable.

I couldn't agree more.

Marie Glusenkamp-Perez, Tom Suozzi, Jared Golden, Henry Cuellar and the rest are complicit in this latest extrajudicial ICE execution. Primarying them isn’t enough, they need to be tried with the rest of DHS like the enablers they are.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Appears this is also true for fascism.

"Polls have not provided easy answers as to what the moment might mean when it comes to long-term political consequences" yes let's all get back to the most important aspect of all this, how it will affect the midterms

I look forward to the establishment of a Wiesenthal Center-like organization dedicated to identifying and hunting former DHS agents so that they may be held accountable.

hey @govdanmckee.bsky.social, stop using the GOP tax cut playbook, not all tax cuts are good. Expanding social safety net programs does more to lift people out of poverty than tax cuts

this will be problematic for RIPTA, to say the least

WE WON BITCHES

for fucking decades i've had to listen to right wingers jerk off to their fantasies of masked federal agents turning their guns on innocent Americans and then the moment it actually happens they're sniveling boot-licking scum

banning X is a national security issue for every country, plain and simple its explicit goal is to amplify and empower the largest Nazi-adjacent party in every country in which it operates it is also the largest deepfake porn generator in the world this is not a difficult call to make

New in PN: Renee Good's killer can and must be prosecuted "There’s no path to justice that runs through this administration or the federal courts. Hell, Trump will probably give the shooter a medal, and would certainly give him a pardon. But there is a path to justice that runs through Minnesota."

If he gets us a millionaires tax I will indeed hand it to him. He doesn’t get a pass without restoring bus cuts, but showing a political spine would count for something

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

The two places I was most hoping to find Dan McKee, but he was nowhere to be found.

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

the obama admin expanded ICE, the biden admin expanded ICE. not sure just voting blue is helping

Column by @danmcgowan.bsky.social -- Rhode Island faces pressing issues. Speaker Shekarchi’s will-he-or-won’t-he act is getting old. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/07/m...

Don’t worry, the speaker of the state house who wants to primary the governor also wants to “right size” which I’m sure means cuts. If the bus I want doesn’t come when I want one, it’s the wrong size. If the candidate doesn’t support making the bus come then, they’re the wrong candidate.
