“What do you mean archiving your Twitter account?”
We will not be deleting our account, rather archiving it, so that all of the valuable resources we’ve shared can still be searched and dispersed by users here as needed.
If the app ever gets its spark back — we’ll be here!

Figure out when public comment is in your city — show up, keep your local gov’t WORKING.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth.

The only fix is to ABOLISH ICE.

We realize ICE confrontations are scary and it’s hard to predict how agents will react. Acting in solidarity to stand up to their actions, calling out their unlawfulness, are brave acts.
