Fat Tuesday Update
Harrison Bridge added Thursday, Coffee Date Saturday
You guys. I love you so much.
So, today there was a sighting of some vehicles labeled ICE: DEFEND THE HOMELAND spotted in Kenwood being loaded onto a tractor-trailer and I did NAZI that coming, but you all turned out!
The facebook and signal feeds were chock a block with photos and information on the sighting, including one special CCA affiliate organizer (from ICE OUT Clermont) who followed the truck as far as Lebanon. We were told the cars “weren’t for Ohio” but we were able to alert Columbus organizers that the vehicles were en route in the hopes of tracking the cars to their final destination.
I think we can all agree this is hardly the American Way.
But for serious, there’s more news! The Harrison Overpass team are back at it for Thursday, there’s a Sing-In Friday and Christy is having office hours Saturday. No rest for the revolution, eh?
OH, and also: Maggie asked me to let y’all know that she is officially sick of this sh*t.
Don’t forget to KEEP THOSE CALLS COMING on the SAVE Act, we cannot let that pass!

MUST WATCH MIDWEEK
I don’t know if I’ve shared anything from “Prof G” before, but I know I’ve been a ho for the Bulwark, so sorry but not sorry here. Anywho, Tim Miller had a conversation with Scott Galloway of Pivot, Raging Moderates and The Prof G Podcast who is pushing a radical new economic agenda:
RESIST AND UNSUBSCRIBE
The basic premise is this: Trump backed off Greenland when it became fiscally unfortunate for him to do so, i.e. when the stock market tanked. Soon thereafter ICE shot a man in the street and later that same night Apple’s Tim Cook attended the Melania premiere. So Prof G had a thought: CBS reinstated Jimmy Kimmel when their subscribers jumped ship because of their actions. So why not tell the oligarchs how displeased you are with their capitulation with your dollars? The professor has a full list of institutions being targeted at his website (linked below), but in his conversation with Tim here, he convinces Tim to unsubscribe from Apple TV, proving that you don’t have to get rid of everything, but if all of us get rid of one or two things, we take our power back and tell the oligarchs:
What’s the point of having F*$k You money if you won’t say F*$k You?
