Sources have indicated both of our senators intend to vote for schumer to be senate leadership. Make sure to contact their office hera and in D.C to let them know your thoughts on it.

Last month, as reported by the Colorado Times Recorder, activists with No Concentration Camps in Colorado (NoCCC), a coalition opposed to a new immigration detention center in the town of Hudson, took part in a highway cleanup as part of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s (CDOT) Adopt-a-Highway program. Opposition to the proposed ICE facility has led to contentious town council meetings and a lawsuit. Days before NoCCC conducted their first cleanup, Town Councilors Matt Cole and Don Post emailed CDOT and accused the group — who had not held any cleanup actions — of violating CDOT rules around political activity while performing highway litter abatement.

Hey there! I'm a 20 veteran of acting up, causing a scene, being a problem, and making my voice heard speaking truth to power. From Occupy, to Standing Rock, to BLM, to our current fascists dystopia. Along the way I've learned a whole lot of the history of sticking it to the man, and how to do it well.

I'm tired of hearing arguments about "You're not protesting right."

I'm tired of hearing "there's no point, you don't have any real power."

And I'm so so so tired of people who are celebrating that the guys on the blue corporate & billionaire funded cisheteronormative patriarchy team are going to save us from the red blue corporate & billionaire funded cisheteronormative patriarchy team.

And most of all I am tired of helping organize capitol marches and speeches and wishes and knowing that nothing will come of them.

And in my life, when there's something you don't like, the only real way to change it is stop the buck at my own seat, roll up my sleeves, and lead from the front.

I’m teaching a class on the history of activism and civil disobedience, it's efficacy, the science of it's use in numerous circumstances and the results. We'll cover American activism for most of the 20th and 21st century thus far, (with a nod to Jon Brown of course), the concepts of power mapping, finding levers of control, and how to design your actions to apply pressure, leverage, and incentives exactly where you should to get the result you intend.

There will be numerous guest lecturers helping teach the topics they are authorities on, and many are leaders and prominent figures in the Denver activist community.

The course will be free, online, all participation will be private and anonymous (privacy focused zoom alternative).

The course will conclude with us deciding on, designing and planning, and executing our own action after gaining consensus.

Register now to get info and links to attend! don't wait, we're starting in the next few days.

Former Mesa County Sheriff’s Deputy Alexander Zwinck resigned last year after facing disciplinary action and a lawsuit from Attorney General Phil Weiser

Zwinck appears to be working at Immigration and Customs Enforcement after facing discipline for collaborating with ICE last year in the arrest of Utah college student Caroline Dias Goncalves, according to federal data hacked and published by activists.

A Post review of records exposed in a DHS breach found that some immigration officers quickly hired last year were involved in past misconduct or criminality.

One officer in Detroit fired multiple shots at a fleeing teenage suspect, fatally striking him in the back in an incident that led to a $2.5 million settlement with his family.

An Arkansas officer was castigated by his supervisor for showing “unreasonable anger” while on the job, and fired after his boss expressed concern about what he might do “when he faces a civilian who he feels has disrespected him.”

Some officers went viral for embarrassing incidents, including a New York City detective who stole nearly $3,000 worth of high-end champagne at a music festival and a Mississippi officer who said under oath that he couldn’t remember core rights bestowed by the U.S. Constitution.

All of them share one thing in common: They were later hired as federal immigration officers to carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

Get on their socials and MOCK them for falling for this con artist! It may be YOUR comment someone needs to see to plant a seed and eventually walk away from the cult. These weirdos are also the voting base for all the awful ballot measures. These people have learned NOTHING!

In July, the No Concentration Camps in Colorado coalition applied for CDOT’s Adopt-A-Highway program for two sections of highway that surround a proposed new GEO-owned, for-profit ICE detention center in Hudson, CO.

In September, CDOT accepted our application, and we signed a contract to perform scheduled cleaning of those highway sections. In exchange, CDOT would provide a sign on those stretches of highway stating that they are maintained by No Concentration Camps in Colorado.

Our first cleanup day was scheduled for October 24 on the adopted section of Hwy 52, and this came with a set of rules that had to be followed by all participants. One of those rules was that we could not carry any protest signs or do anything that could feasibly distract drivers while we cleaned up.

After that initial cleanup day, despite being very careful to ensure all CDOT rules were followed, we were informed that we had been dropped from the Adopt-A-Highway program for breaking Rule 4:

“While performing activities on right-of-way, the method, manner, and appearance of the participants will not in any way distract, disrupt, or adversely affect traffic. Participants may not display messages, carry banners, or advertise their business affiliation or cause.”

We understood this to be an attempt at suppression, as not only had we ensured that all rules were followed, and documented most of the day on video (making that easy to prove), but according to the email received from CDOT, the complaints were raised on October 20 and 21—several days before we conducted our cleanup.

Through conversations with CDOT, who have been helpful and receptive, and CORA requests for copies of communications related to the complaints and our removal from the program, we were able to both successfully prove our compliance and gain insight into who had filed the false complaints.

Those false complaints were not entered by just any Hudson resident.

Three sitting members of the Hudson Town Council:

Town Councilmember Matt Cole,
Town Manager Bryce Lange,
and Town Mayor Pro Tem Don Post had filed the complaints fraudulently.

There is no call to action here. We are working alongside CDOT on a solution. But we wanted to make this statement to highlight how suppression of dissent is happening, and how even at the local level, the interests of private prison contractors like GEO feed corruption and dishonesty into our representative systems of government.

Shame on Matt Cole, Bryce Lange, and Don Post. How long do you think Hudson will put up with your good ol’ boys’ club?

If Schumer and Jeffries are named leaders in this young movement, legitimizing every voice claiming this party hasn’t changed, I want protests. Tell me about them, I will call in sick if I have to. I’ll be there.

I did not get excited about a new age just to have it killed by Schumer and Jeffries egos. This is a RBG 2.0 idea fueled by politicians in their own little bubble thinking this is THEIR win.

see you there 🏳️‍⚧️

Mission ballroom and other venues. Just info for anyone who wants to potentially have an audience with some Dem big shots. Just sorry I can't be there to say free Palestine and protect trans kids.

Even as the holidays approach, it’s vital to bring attention to a recent national trend that is impacting our own community in Aurora: since the start of this month, ICE has been arresting immigrants upon release who had already won their habeas corpus petitions.

Habeas corpus is one of the oldest legal safeguards recognized in western society; this common law allows for detainees to challenge the federal government regarding their detention in court. ICE ignoring it is more proof of what we already know: this administration will stop at nothing to push its agenda and separate families in our community. SHAME!Aurora Unidos knows people directly affected, and is working alongside other organizations and attorneys who are fighting back.

You made your voices heard at the polls. Now it’s time to make them heard in the streets. We can’t wait for our newly elected representatives to act. We have to show them NOW that we will NOT be quiet.

Join us and remind GEO and ICE that we know exactly what they’re doing and we REFUSE to stay silent. ¡Nos vemos allí!

Replace Schumer for Senate Majority Leader
