URGENT 🚨 ‼️ Protest happening at the #Helena Police Department. More folks are on the way. It was only a matter of time until ICE got here. And they won’t stop with just one or two detainees. You want more than once a month protests? Show the heck up for your immigrant neighbors. #MTpol #MTnews
Reddit post reading I am at the Helena Police Dept now (4:15, 406 Fuller).
What I know for sure:
There is an immigrant detained here
There are ten citizens and a journalist, here in the lobby
The mayor was here; I believe he went upstairs to talk to someone
The desk sergeant came to talk to us about 10 minutes He said the lieutenant was upstairs trying to figure out what is going on, and that he would come down to speak with us at some point. Here is what the people who were here before me say they learned
The man is an immigrant. His wife is a citizen.
The only infraction anyone knows about are two recent traffic violations. If you can, please come down. Things are calm and friendly, the lobby is cool.

We request that #Montana Rep. Steve Gist delete his comment and issue an apology, not only to his constituents, but to the families who are suffering in the wake of the violence in Minnesota. Use our toolkit to learn how to take action: tinyurl.com/RemoveGist. #ShameOnGistMT
White background. Reads Shame on Gist. This week Montana State Legislator Steve Gist wrote this on facebook. This kind of rhetoric cannot be tolerated in our state. Political violence is not a partisan issue.

Please share how we can help, if you have any thoughts. The courts have been doing good work, but I also think the people are ready to contribute. Thank you for sharing.
The Trump administration would never do something so bold and outrageous as tossing out an active collective bargaining agreement if it thought that the TSA workers would strike. It is operating on the assumption that the union will whine, and run to court, but that the workers will keep working, and ultimately the government will prevail, because Trump is now a king and laws cannot control him. If and when this assumption proves correct, you can expect this pattern to be repeated, and very soon, government workers -the most heavily unionized sector of America--will find that their union contracts mean nothing. And that is the death of a system of worker power that millions of people have spent many decades building.

93% of imports in Montana come from Canada and Mexico. These tariffs will impact our ability to feed our families. We can make it through this but only by working together. Find local mutual aid groups and be in community. We are working on getting resources together for Montana and will share soon.
A white background with a map of the United States in the center. In different shades of red it shows the percentage of imports in each state from Canada and Mexico. Montana is the most opaque state with the highest imports. The title of the map reads percentage of each state's imports come from Canada and
Mexico? And below the title reads
Montana imports 93 percent of its goods from Canada and Mexico, the most of any state, while Hawaii imports the least at 4 percent.

Beware the technocrats influence on current politicians. JD Vance and Curtis Yarvin. #uspolitics #resist #resistance
Vice-president JD
Vance has cited Yarvin as an influence, saying in 2021, "So there's this guy Curtis Yarvin who has written about these things," which included "Retire All Government Employees," or RAGE, written in 2012. Vance said that if Trump became president again, " think what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, and replace them with our people. And when the courts stop you, stand before the country and say, 'The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.!"

Motors, more than 100 women workers at one of forty Woolworth stores in Detroit, Michigan, begin a sit-down strike over wages, hours, working conditions, and union recognition.

The Labor Movement has been a decades long fight providing rights we take for granted today. We think this is just how it's always been, but rights for the working class have never been simply given... our predecessors fought for them. Don't forget, the power of the people is the greatest of all.
A poster. At the top it reads the labor movement the folks that brought you... then below this is a group of people holding different colored signs reading living wage laws, over time pay, child labor laws, domestic partner benefits, sick leave, parental leave, civil rights, social security, workplace power, pension benefits, OSHA, minimum wage, worker's comp, health benefits, farm labor rights, unemployment insurance, the weekend, equal pay for equal work. Then below this group of people a quote in yellow text reads, power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Frederick Douglass.

More Revolution art for you all from Loki G. We are in the midst of a mass awakening of the American peoples’ consciousness… coming to the conclusion that THIS SYSTEM DOESNT WORK FOR US. We’re organizing to make a difference. #mtpol #mtleg
A drawing of a capybara drawing on a blackboard with chalk the words educate, agitate, organize. On the ground by it is a basket with a first aid kit on the right, and on the left is a red and black flag, a bottle with a rag in it, and a book with a red cover. At the top of the drawing it reads social Justice and revolution in blue on a yellow background.

Some more #revolution art by Loki Gwynbleidd. As the piece says, “100 companies are responsible for 70% of global pollution.”
A vintage poster with a green background and a rectangle in the middle. The top right of the rectangle has a piece of paper that says compost the rich save the planet. Below that, there is banner that says anti capitalism, ecology. A star, half black and half green, is on the lower left hand corner of the rectangle. The image in the rectangle is a man wearing a red hat pushing a wheelbarrow with a rich looking man in it.

Today’s Loki Gwynbleidd art. Fascism isn’t abruptly emerging in the U.S., there are numerous societal, cultural, global, etc. forces that have caused its uprising. But now we have to address it, and the underlying issues that allowed it to take root. #mtpol #montana #strike

Today we share more art by Loki Gwynbleidd. We have a severe housing shortage, rising home prices, a widening gap between income and housing costs, and a high homelessness rate in this country. It doesn’t work for every day people. That’s one of the reasons we will #strike.
Art depicting three animals embroidering “solidarity” and “mutual aid” on a piece of fabric, with words above them saying “let’s embroider a fairer society”.

Top 10% of households in the US hold 70% of the wealth. Bottom 50% hold 2.5% of the wealth. I think the pirate squirrels have it right. #strike (Art by Loki Gwynbleidd)
