Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? Release Yousof Azizi from ICE detention

#YousofAzizi, an Iranian researcher, journalist, commentator and PhD candidate at #VirginiaTech, has been detained by ICE despite having valid legal status. He was taken in front of his home, denied access to a lawyer, and may be transferred to a Louisiana detention center. Sign the petition here.

It’s worth a reminder: War crimes don’t hide sex crimes.

Protect the vote: threats to the November 2026 midterm elections. Sponsored by Defending Democracy, tomorrow 2pm. A local NAACP leader and VT Political Science professors will speak. NRV Indivisible and other local and state organizations will have info tables for you to check out afterward.

Canadian woman held with daughter by ICE warns all immigrants to ‘lie low’ Tania Warner says she has documents showing she is in the US legally, but immigration agents were not swayed

Yet more violation of due process by #ICE. ICE is running a mass kidnapping conspiracy.

And when we read reports like this, it makes us realize that if we were noncitizens, we’d better stay out of the United States. Regardless of where we were from.

Accountability is coming for ICE.

How Trump turmoil is driving more people to the therapist’s office: ‘This is all upside down’ As ‘political depression’ enters public discourse, therapists are encouraging people to engage with their communities

“As ‘political depression’ enters public discourse, therapists are encouraging people to engage with their communities.” This profoundly reflects our own experience since November 2024: action is the cure for despair.

Bernard LaFayette, civil rights leader who helped launch Voting Rights Act, dies aged 85 Early in a life of service, LaFayette did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama

Bernard Lafayette and the activists he worked with created remarkable advances for social justice in conditions that to many seemed impossible. (And some, like him, did so at remarkably young ages.) They are passing. But we are here.
Rest in power, #BernardLafayette.
