Anytime! Glad I could help!

Nothing in particular! I think it depends on your personal needs. I have one with little wheels on the bottom.
Either way it's much cheaper than getting like industrial restaurant containers.

I buy dry goods in 25-50lbs, keep them in their original packaging and then put that packaging into large dog food containers. Bonus is once the original bags are empty they're super sturdy and can be repurposed as like grocery bags etc.

Thank to everyone who showed up today! Providence RI was strong 💪🏽 Let’s keep up the energy as we have more to come! #nokings #50501movement #indivisible

Dog food containers are food safe plastic.

"What If We Get It Right?"
Amazing book. Everyone should read it.

I don't want to have to die for my rights but if they're trying to kill us anyway... 🙃

I've made the jump into nonfiction and suddenly I'm placing a lot less holds on my To-Read List. 🙃

Are you still marching after the overarching 50501 announcement today?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

A GOP rep in my state government was quoted as saying the protests were showing the dems "political privilege" and I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one...

....like yes? That is our privilege to protest politics.....? Thank you for the... compliment?

It's so hard to become a teacher. The runaround and red tape in place is prohibitive to building a diverse workforce. This is from my own personal experience.

Japanese American history matters a lot right now

Video in question. Let's make it viral again.

Been thinking about you a lot lately.... Thank you

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

What the hell is this headline? @nytimes.com are you okay? I thought journalism had a responsibility to be moral and ethical.

Are there Republicans left who value US democracy more than Trump?

Saturday, WE THE PEOPLE, will show our power!

On April 5th, we will say, in one voice: HANDS OFF!

HANDS OFF our democracy.

HANDS OFF our voting rights.

HANDS OFF our SS, Medicare and Medicaid.

LFG!

I have reviewed the Declaration of David T. Wesling. In my 16 years of practice, I have not seen or even heard of an ICE detainee arrested in Massachusetts being booked and repeatedly moved in the manner described in that declaration. I have never seen or even heard of an ICE detainee arrested in Massachusetts being moved to Methuen, Massachusetts, then Lebanon, New Hampshire, then St. Albans, Vermont, within a matter of hours. The conduct described in Mr. Wesling's declaration is, in short, highly irregular. Executed on April 2, 2025, in Boston, MA. Stefanie Fisher-Pinkert

13. I have reviewed the Declaration of David Wesling. The procedures described therein for Ms. Ozturk are not consistent with anything I have ever observed in my 17 years of immigration practice. I have never seen or even heard of an immigrant booked in 14 minutes. I have never seen a client transferred twice in the same day. The fastest transfer I recall seeing was 24 hours after initial placement. I do not recall ever seeing a client arrested in Massachusetts be detained in St. Albans, Vermont. I have never seen an F-1 revocation where the noncitizen was arrested and detained on the street, by masked men, with no prior notice that the visa had been revoked. To the best of my memory, in each of the F-1 revocations I have seen, the noncitizens' alleged actions leading to the visa revocation would (if true) have been clearly in violation of the terms of the visa (e.g., the immigrant was no longer attending the listed school, the immigrant had overstayed the visa). I have never before seen an F-1 visa revoked, and the student arrested without prior notice of the revocation, based on an op-ed published in a school newspaper.

6. CCJ provides our clinic with daily data concerning, among other things, the number of civil immigration detainees housed in its facility. Paragraphs 7-11 below summarize voluminous writings that cannot be conveniently examined in court, in part because they contain personally identifying information concerning certain persons housed in CCJ. 7. On March 7, 2025, records indicated that approximately 27 civil immigration detainees were housed in Pod C3 at CCJ. Pod C3 is the female housing unit. 8. On March 7, 2025, records indicated that approximately 62 total female detainees, including civil immigration detainees, were housed at CCJ. 9. On March 25, 2025, records indicated that approximately 19 civil immigration detainees were housed in Pod C3 (the female housing unit) at CCJ. 10. On March 26, 2025, records indicated that approximately 18 civil immigration detainees were housed in Pod C3 (the female housing unit) at CCJ. 11. On March 26, 2025, records indicated that approximately 46 total female detainees, including civil immigration detainees, were housed at CCJ. 12. Based on my review of these records, and my extensive experience working with CCJ and detainees at CCJ over more than a decade, I conclude that there were at least 16 open beds to house additional female detainees at CCJ on March 25 & 26, 2025. 13. Throughout my years of experience working with the immigrant population in northern New England, I have never heard of an ICE detainee being arrested in Massachusetts and being transferred to Methuen, MA, Lebanon, NH, and then St. Albans, VT in a matter of hours.

6. The St. Albans Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office serves as a subordinate office to the ICE Boston Field Office and is where ICE conducts Enforcement and Removal Operations including supervision. It is a small administrative office that has been staffed by visiting officers on secondment from southern districts for several years since marked attrition over 2020 and 2021. In my years of practice in Vermont, I have only ever seen or heard of people being detained at the St. Albans office upon initial arrest in Vermont. I have never previously seen or heard of people from other states being transferred into the St. Albans Office for detention. 7. Last year, ICE Boston Field Office and St. Albans Sub-Office leadership called a meeting with Vermont immigration legal services providers in Burlington, Vermont to introduce us to new management who would be permanently staffing the office. There, I had the chance to personally meet with Boston and St. Albans ICE leadership, solicit their practice and prosecutorial discretion priorities, exchange contact information to facilitate more efficient resolution of represented parties' immigration custody and removal proceedings. I understood from this engagement and have heard confirmed by numerous and pro bonos I supervise, that the St. Albans office is a small, simple administrative office not suitable for long-term custody and detention. 8. Moreover, in my seven years of practicing in Vermont and serving as a local expert on immigration matters, I have never once encountered the case of a detained person who is being transferred into Vermont for the purposes of continued ICE detention. I have only encountered individuals being held in Vermont who were initially detained in Vermont and being held temporarily on their way to longer term detention in nearby over-72-hour facilities. It is even more extraordinary for a person to be transferred into the St. Albans ICE office, which is a government office and not a det…

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk's latest filings include a strong set of declarations from a number of experienced immigration lawyers in MA, NH, VT, and ME who say the way Öztürk was rapidly shuttled out of state and then from place to place was highly unusual, illogical, and (by all appearances) unnecessary.

What's going on in the Foster-Glocester Regional School District around transgender student policies and Title IX? "I’m a Foster resident and a parent. I’m here to ask you to maintain the current language of the Rhode Island Department of Education for Title IX..."

Who in Congress is supporting these tariffs? Can a grassroots movement of calls from citizens put pressure on them to exercise their power to stop this?

This afternoon — Thursday, 4/3 — at 2 pm there will be a federal court hearing in Boston for Rumeysa Ozturk.

Her legal team are encouraging people to come and support, outside the court house.

I learned the term "Working the Ref" this morning and it opened my eyes to a lot of things.

Thurmond's filibuster was performative. He read from the Encyclopedia. Cruz's filibuster was performative. He read from Dr. Seuss.

Cory Booker spoke issues and history and people's needs for over 24 hours. Nothing performative. He may have just started to pull us out of this mire.

Thank you for participating in this historic moment.

Yes we are! History will remember @booker.senate.gov as someone that stood up for the people.
