A Rohingya refugee wanted freedom. America left him for dead in frigid Buffalo. | Will Bunch The U.S. Border Patrol abandoned a blind, disabled Rohingya refugee to die in frigid Buffalo, a new low for the Trump regime.

Thanks, @willbunch.bsky.social for calling attention to this outrage. www.inquirer.com/opinion/alam...

Anyone telling you NOT to call your member of congress today is an op or under the influence of an op

There is literally no reason not to

Telling people not to call is not a radical position

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

His name was Alex Pretti, he was 37. He was recording ICE, directing traffic, and helping up someone agents had shoved to the ground. They murdered him for it.

Showing cross-racial solidarity is a potential death sentence. There are few things white supremacists hate more.

“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

A display at Independence Mall.

The slavery displays at the President's House on Independence Mall have been removed, sparking outrage locally. It comes after President Trump ordered last year for any displays at National Parks that disparage the U.S. to be reviewed and potentially removed. spr.ly/63322C7R8j

How One Minnesota Union Is Helping Members Survive the Federal Siege Local 17 is one of many unions, community organizations and faith groups calling for a work stoppage tomorrow, showing a key way Minnesotans are organizing against ICE.

As tomorrow's Minnesota-wide shutdown gathers momentum, here are some of the less visible ways workers and unions are helping each other survive to fight another day, by delivering food to workers hiding in their homes with the lights off. My report from Minneapolis.

A major coalition is launching a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow, aimed at pushing out ICE.

It includes:

-Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005
-The MN AFL-CIO
-SEIU Local 26
-UNITE HERE Local 17
-CWA Local 7250
-Saint Paul and Minneapolis Federations of Educators
-Faith leaders

And more. 🧵

What an unthinkable horror to see children in ICE's custody. In what possible way does picking up preschoolers off the street make our communities safer?

Solidarity with the unions, faith organizations, community groups, and people of Minnesota who are participating in a general strike in protest of ICE attacks on their families and neighbors.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Abolish ICE’s Union The labor movement needs to take a stronger stand against agents of Trump's barbarous immigration policies.

Resurfacing two excellent pieces on ICE/BP's labor unions that tease out the relationship between immigration enforcement, incipient fascism, and labor rights.

Pennsylvania is 49th in the nation for public higher education funding! Decades of disinvestment hurt the PA economy— hurt students, families, communities, and workers. It doesn’t have to be this way— and it hasn’t always been this way. We need Governor Josh Shapiro to lead the way!

In March, in the final hours before a strike, management at Community College of Philadelphia agreed to our bargaining for the common good demand for @septaphilly.bsky.social trans passes for all CCP students. They have since failed to honor that agreement.

FSFCCP | AFT Local 2026 - SEPTA FOR CCP STUDENTS SIGN THE PETITION to show your support for FREE SEPTA PASSES FOR ALL CCP STUDENTS

Join us in our push to make management at Community College of Philadelphia honor its agreement with our union— and help all students at Philly’s college. www.aft2026.org/septa-for-cc...

49th in the nation is shameful

@lgaustindavis.bsky.social @pasenate.com @pahousedems.com

Governor Josh Shapiro AND PA Senate and House Republicans.

Pennsylvania students, families, communities, and workers need and deserve more support. Disinvestment in higher education hurts the PA economy.

Yesterday, our union was proud to join public higher ed workers across PA. Our coalition is unprecedented and growing. Community college and PASSHE, and Pitt, Temple and Penn State workers are calling on Harrisburg to fully fund public higher ed. Let’s go from the bottom 10 to the top 10.

Students and faculty at over 100 US universities protest against Trump’s attacks Student, national and local groups across US organized day of action to condemn Trump’s assault on academic freedom

Good morning Philly! Who has the power?

The City of Brotherly Love is turning out to defend academic freedom and fight for higher ed for all!

Thank you @fsfccp.bsky.social, @apscuf.org, @aaup-penn.bsky.social TAUP, UAP, and the Philadelphia AFL-CIO for turning out for today's higher ed day of action. #HigherEdBenefitsEveryone

Philly showed up as did higher education workers and students across Pennsylvania. From the big cities to the small towns, we focused on the failures of this administration— and in particular how PA Senator McCormick is co-signing attacks on Pennsylvanians.

Philly! On Friday, Nov. 7th at 12pm
Noon, join higher ed workers and students at 20th and Market to protest Senator McCormick’s co-signing of billionaire attacks on Higher Education in Pennsylvania. Despite writing a book about leadership, is nothing but a fool follower of bad actors.
