While this federal administration has been busy empowering ICE to become, essentially, an extrajudicial militia allowed to disappear people from our streets, the Bay has been organizing. We will not be beaten down.

What We Can Do About ICE

ICE is in the Bay Area. And yes, we can all do something about it.

Do you live in an apartment complex? How about printing out some fliers letting your neighbors know that on a particular day of the week, u will be cooking X extra meals and that anyone who needs one can stop by your place at X hour to pick one up no questions asked? Can even leave them at the door.

Americans: if you're planning to be anywhere near Washington DC November 20-
22 you might consider this rally.

The background is a blue-tinted image of the White House, with a yellow border that repeats in tiny all-caps font: IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE.

The image on the background is of a poster describing a rally, mostly in white text:
REMOVE the REGIME

An inset box at a slight angle, as of the imprint of a stamp, says in yellow letters on a black background: WASHINGTON, D.C.

Large date: 11.22
small font below: CONGRESSIONAL VISITS * RALLY * MARCH
LIVE ENTERTAINMENT FT. THE DROPKICK MURPHYS
NOVEMBER 20-22, 2025
A pair of small QR codes appear in each corner at the bottom.
Below that, a navy strip showing logos in white for supporting organizations including FLARE, 50501, Removal Coalition, REMEMBER YOUR OATH, We are the Flood, CITIZENS' IMPEACHMENT, 14th Now

Americans: calls are going around for a general boycott of the big corporate economy, November 25th-December 2nd.

Black background with beige text:
WE'RE NOT ASKING. WE'RE SHUTTING IT DOWN.
MASS BLACKOUT
(in red font) NOVEMBER 25TH - DECEMBER 2ND
(back to light font) The largest economic blackout protest in U.S. history begins November 25th!
- No Work
- No Spending
- No Restaurants
- No Projects
- No Events
- No Restaurants
NO BACKING OUT!!!
Prepare for the IMPACT!
To prevent "spike spending" before and after the BLACKOUT, we ask that all participants purchase goods needed from community-owned stores and markets leading up to and after the dates. This helps with sustained impact and keeps our money out of the mega businesses' pockets.
COORDINATED NATIONAL PUSHBACK. MAXIMUM LOCAL IMPACT

there's emerging data suggesting that GLP1s might improve QoL for ME/CFS. I'm scheduled to start one next month.

But in all honesty - as important as all the health stuff is - it'd just be nice to lose some of the 45 pounds that came with the diagnosis.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

🔥⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰🔥 NEED YOUR COMMENT BY TOMORROW: 10/20/25! The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) published a Federal Register seeking to ADD proof of citizenship (DPOC) to the federal voter registration form. This WOULD disproportionately affect vulnerable groups.

LINK: www.regulations.gov/commenton/EA...

The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is considering a petition asking it to initiate a process that would add documentary proof of citizenship to the federal voter registration form. Much like the SAVE Act, this proposal would force Americans to show specific, costly, hard-to-access documents like passports before registering to vote. An estimated 21 million Americans could be shut out from the ballot box, particularly rural voters, students, women, communities of color, and members of the military.

Two things you can do to help remove RFK Jr:

1) Call your electeds and tell them he needs to go. There's already drafts of impeachment/removal work in both House and Senate. Tell electeds to support them.

2) Sign the petition that'll go to the HELP Committee in the Senate at firerfk.wordpress.com

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 3d

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 3d

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.
