As ICE Disappears Our Neighbors, We Must All Be A Pebble In The Gears Of Fascism
We the people, in solidarity, can protect our communities from the President and the thugs he has hiding in every corner of this country. We must find ways to safely transport and house immigrants that need safe harbor, we must band together to refuse cooperation with ICE agents.

And let's just say, the bosses are crashing the fuck out.

Socialist Kshama Sawant Challenges Rep. Adam Smith
Kshama Sawant, Seattle’s longtime socialist City Council member, is challenging U.S. Representative Adam Smith in the 2026 election. If she’s successful, Sawant said she will bring the same fighting strategy she used in Seattle City Hall to end the genocide in Gaza, secure free healthcare by taxing the rich, and institute a national rent control policy.
