This is just one of the reasons why I say that many of the ICE raids in New England are not random but people (a) with a grudge; (b) being assholes; (c) targeting places presumed to have undocumented workers (car washes, construction sites) sometimes with zero probable cause!

I understand why faculty in Texas are unwilling to risk trying to exercise wildcat labor power in the face of an anti-labor state. In Illinois faculty have lots of power to use if they’re willing to be brave. Students will, I expect, stand with you. But you are going to have to be the leaders.

seasonal reminder that if someone says they don't drink:
-it's none of your business why
-hosts should have several non-alcoholic beverage options
-the holidays can be a tough period for non-drinkers
-many jokes about not drinking are bad
-people are burned out and might just be tired

For the last week, at our Little Free Pantry, people have been dropping off cans of cranberry sauce, bags of potatoes, butternut squash - anything extra that folks might need for a good meal today.

Today, at least 102 meals were also delivered there too.

Community. It is built by everyone.

Y'all - he has owed over $5m in *taxes* (and fees and penalties) for over 15 years. How much money did he earn that year that there was a discrepancy in the millions? And how has he continued to get elected to Governor and then US Senate?

Now, after waiting five months for our records request to be filled, we know they were. Though WA law prohibits this kind of compliance with out-of-state agencies who are looking to prosecute abortion seekers, it did not prevent Spokane County’s data from being searched for that reason.
