This is one of the most succinct and accurate descriptions I’ve seen of the ‘messaging’ fight. Also why I think religions rooted in justice and liberation have something unique to offer in this moment.

Hey fellow Vermonters, Lewiston is a small city with a refugee population. An ICE ‘surge’ there seems impractical and low return and yet appears to be happening anyway. We should prepare for Winooski, Vermont being a similar target. How can we anticipate and prepare for this?

I made a map of all the public transit in Vermont! It's the map I always wish I had when I plan travel there. My goal is that someone sees this map, learns about a bus near them, and then takes the bus because of it. Hi-res at codeberg.org/skyqrose/vt-... #Vermont #PublicTransit #TransitMap

M’fers stay out of Maine 😡
