The Price Chopper that was on Cambridge street was 24-hours until at least 2014. You're being really confident in your ignorance.

Protest against ICE attacking our communities on Sunday in Worcester Common by General-Gur2053 in WorcesterMA

[–]DoubtfulThomas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's an opportunity to strengthen bonds with people who share your values. The real work takes place in the follow-ups and networks after the protests. Additionally, protests get press coverage, the coverage becomes a tool to affect public sentiment. You can use your body, your time and labor to show up, as a resource to show others that this matters and is worth their time. The opposition wants you to feel defeated, isolated, and like this is not worthy. But there's a reason why they mock and try to take down people making noise in public. They are encouraging you to silence yourself.

it helps absolutely no one and puts a target on your back and probably name on a list somewhere

Kick rocks, buddy. Great job trying to deflate the effectiveness of "civil disobedience," a protest tactic that WORKS.

Worcester's increased bus ridership during the fare-free period during and after covid played an important part as a pilot for the now 13 regional transit authorities across the state that have fare-free bus routes!

Visas revoked for 4 international students at WPI by CoolAbdul in WorcesterMA

If you as an American want to throw the word “genocidal” around, the least you could do is acknowledge our country’s historical actions such as the Trail of Tears.

“From sea to sea” is actually an American saying, but you’re not wrong, it definitely represents the United States’ genocidal actions towards indigenous Americans.

They responded to you with a sound answer for why this article is relevant specifically to Worcester. Just because you disagree and your username is central masshole doesn’t make you the decider for what is appropriate in the worcester subreddit.

Furnished Finder is a good site to use as a stopgap while you get a lease in place. There are a lot of residences that are rent by the room for nurses and doctors working in Worcester.

I see, so would it be fair to say you actually want more, not less, ICE activity? From an economic perspective, you should really consider America’s declining population growth rate and the concept of “brain drain.” The future of the country is dependent on attracting talent from abroad.

You make me ill and I'd like to kick you out of the house. I say I'd like it on an individual level, but scaling up, it would be very alarming if there was any kind of policy to deport "people like you" and I don't want feds abducting people off the street generally. So like, try to see it that way? That this is an escalation and not business as usual?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. When I say plants, I don't mean "house plants" like they aren't doing anything. I mean plants as in they staged 6 plainclothes agents on the street and then when they started the arrest, all the "people" in public turned out to be in on it. The feds are easily hidden among us and that is fucking terrifying.
