Tell Your Members of Congress to rein in ICE NOW
On January 24, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This was just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Good. These killings are a direc...

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

This happened on the corner where my art studio is. That’s my husband walking towards the car. It was sickening and traumatizing for staff at Buona Forchetta.
This is how it’s done!
FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets.

Extended groaning as our structures that build a healthy community fall
We were just notified that our contract to UCSD and Scripps Research to support wastewater surveillance in San Diego (searchcovid.info) was terminated immediately for the same reasons 👇.
That means no more genomic wastewater surveillance, and our proposed extensions to measles, Hep A, others, gone.

A lesson from Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel
If you still don’t understand why it’s important to amplify and encourage the Dems who are doing the work even if it isn’t perfect,
