She was a GTC organizer for a year and a half, and in that time she greatly influenced our work and direction. The world is not the same without her and the work we do is forever changed by her.

Our beloved community member and friend, Michelle, passed away this week after a years long battle with cancer. Michelle was a friend, a mother, a comrade, and so much more—she put her whole heart into everything she did and truly made our weekly distros a special place.

Tarrio told the January 6 committee DC police gave him counterprotester locations during demonstrations. It's not the first time MPD has liaised with extremist groups. I got emails showing MPD had calls with Richard Spencer's team after Charlottesville. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
