In our moments of despair and anxiety for the dreadful condition of the current government, our need for optimism is crucial. Thankfully 50501 is providing the light we seek to keep our actions of protest alive. Corporate media is brain dead, flush with insipid coverage of Trump and his toadies. The next No Kings in March is another opportunity to demonstrate the over riding disgust we have about the amoral administration in control of our future. We won't give up.

If you're talking about this publication, our readers. (I also work a full-time job). If you're talking about different state chapters, they engage in mutual aid. :)

Time is on our side. ICE agents are not wealthy. Without wages, they will feel the pressure to quit ICE. Monthly bills are a real thing. The consequences for not paying them are real.

Search Assist As you can see I just looked this up on the interweb. It's AI so who knows?

Yes, ICE agents continue to be paid during a government shutdown due to specific funding provisions that cover their salaries. This includes additional funding from previous legislation, ensuring they receive their pay even when other federal employees may not.
