Take action against the Atlanta Police Foundation, who is the biggest supporter & funder of the Cop City project. Tortuguita's blood is on their hands!

Take 10 minutes to contact APF board members & demand that they #StopCopCity and resign from the foundation. [Thread]

Conservative South County think tank-backed school committee members are attempting to strong-arm vacated seat procedure and local laws so they can stymie sex ed, racial history, and whatever other teachings don't meet with their regressive views. Attend TODAY'S budget mtg!

NYPD help Proud Boys commit fare evasion & then tell journalists to go back and pay for the fare. Everyone should see this video.

This leaves those camping with no legal protections. The eviction of they camp could start right away. No word from @GovDanMcKee

Superior Court Judge David Cruise rules in favor of @GovDanMcKee on the State House Encampment Eviction case. @UpriseRI @RIHomeless

Important to keep tabs on this. The flock cameras have some serious privacy risk. We should have fought harder to keep them out of Providence.

Notice: People camping at the Rhode Island State House are asking for members of the public to show up Friday morning at 9am when they are facing eviction. The want witnesses and rally-era.

Please read this thread. These people have nowhere to go and need public support.

[SteveAhlquist.Substack.com @steveahlquist]

Right now, members of @GovDanMcKee ‘s staff and the RI State Police are issuing eviction notices to those on the State House plaza. They have 648 hours.

Many RIers finish prison sentences and come out only to face enormous debts assigned by the courts. These people must already navigate countless discriminatory barriers. Court debt is yet another. In RI, it can become grounds for reincarceration. https://t.co/5HJh5668yc
