What a holy honor to be with 500+ Jews against ICE today. Let me be clear: ICE and its brutal policies are counter to the Torah.

If you are Jewish, you have a moral obligation to fight this, in your own unique way. #JewsAgainstICE

At least 4 homeless folks froze to death in DC during the recent winter storm.

In the capital of the richest country in the world.

Where we're spending $1.65 million a day to pay for the Nat'l guard to do nothing.

It does not have to be this way.

DC local news is vital, no matter what billionares think. We just became financial donors to @51st.news, DC's worker-led, nonprofit newsroom.

Let's help them get enough money to hire some of the brilliant #washingtonpost reporters Bezos fired. Join us, if you're able?

Trump's deployment of the Nat'l Guard to DC Cost DC taxpayers $223 million.

That money could have just about solved street homelessness in DC for a year.

Reminder: this isn't about safety or helping ppl, it's about power, control, and enacting a Christian nationalist agenda.

.@maxwellfrost.bsky.social got punched in the face the same week that @ilhanmn.bsky.social got attacked, the same week ICE shot & killed more ppl.

If folks on the right cared abt political violence, they'd be mad as hell. But they're not/ B/c they only care about power & white Christian supremacy.

Sending extra love and warmth to homeless street outreach workers + mutual aid folks busting their butts to make sure folks stay safe ahead of the snow.

Nobody should live or die outside in the richest country in the world.

We need housing, not handcuffs.

If you don't want your federal tax dollars to be used to fund Utah's Trump-inspired homeless detention camp, this call is for you.

See you on 1/29!

It's wild we have to say this, but forcing anybody into detention camps is and always will be bad.

Two videos, ten minutes apart. This is what the federal occupation of DC looks like. They let them off with a citation.

This is not normal. This is fascism. This is authoritarianism. Do not look away.

Janeese Lewis George for DC Mayor | Official Campaign Website Janeese fights for working families in DC because she knows firsthand what working people in DC are up against. As Mayor, Janeese will side with the people to make DC safe and affordable.

Only 1 candidate in the DC Mayor's race has continually shown up for homeless folks. Her name is @janeese4dc.bsky.social

We need a mayor who will fight for all DC residents, not back down in the face of a bully or cater to the needs of the ultra-rich.

This is horrendous, even for Trump. This needs to be a bigger story.

Housing ends homelessness. Solidarity ends authoritarianism. We need both.

This will cost billions, if not more. How many people could we feed? How many people could this house? How many doctor's visits could this fund?

Why is there always money for war but not to help people?

@janeese4dc.bsky.social will be DC's next Mayor. And that's a win for everybody who cares about justice, fairness, safety, solidarity, affordability, and community. It's not too late to donate! Thanks to DC's public financing, everything DC residents donate is matched 5:1. Link below.

Things are bleak, but when our almost 18-month-old sees Chanukkah candles, he gets really excited and says "amen".

A12 dead & 29+ injured in a shooting at a Chanukkah party in AUS.

Let's skip the "is this antisemitism" debate this time?

And no, the answer isn't more cops or authoritarianism. The answer is each other, solidarity, collective liberation. This is true especially when it feels hardest.

There is good coverage of a Palantir co-founder & Trump bud calling for public hangings. It's unhinged.

What is missing is the same person's work to pass laws that make it a crime to be homeless. His lobbyists are pushing for a 1,300-bed homeless detention camp in Utah. That's also unhinged.

Trump's cronies just got rid of the Hep B vaccine for babies. This means more babies will get sick and even die from preventable deaths from liver cancer.

They voted for more babies to die.

They do not care about anybody but themselves.

It's wild that in the richest country in the world, every winter, we have to scramble to make sure people don't freeze to death when they sleep outside. And still, we know many will die.

Instead, we could solve homelessness with housing and support.

Boggles my mind every year.

Cox proposes $30.7B budget with funding for homeless campus, child tax credits Utah's governor unveiled his proposed $30.7 billion state budget Wednesday, which include funds for a homeless campus and expanded child tax credits for families with young kids.

NEWS: Utah Gov's budget includes funding for a massive, forced, government-run homeless detention camp.

This is a five-alarm fire. Stay tuned for ways to fight this atrocity.
