Feed the People Mutual Aid

I believe there is a fifth one as well

These are our friends, our neighbors. We can continue to give these folks food and tents, but these are really only temporary measures to hold back the effects of state violence against the unhoused. These deaths are always avoidable and, arguably, intentional. May they rest in peace 🖤

A devastating loss. And completely avoidable.

May they rest in peace, they will be missed 🖤

Surveillance state implements surveillance tool, who would've thought?

Relatable

At distro this is referred to as the Anarchist Mocha

It's the classic IDF tactic, targeting those trying to document their crimes and call them an aggressor. The armband really just makes you a target. That's one of many reasons why people on the street utilize the tactic of uniformity of appearance. It's often best to not stick out

Cops kill people pretty much every single day in this country. Stop saying that “ICE isnt law enforcement - it’s a fascist street gang”

Cops ARE a fascist street gang. And the fact that you can’t see that is one of the reasons we’re in this shit

What even is your potential positive vision for them? "They're a potential source of labor during humanitarian aid operations!" Do we literally need armed goons, who would execute some protestor if their commanding officer ordered them to, doing whatever in your far-flung scenario? It makes no sense

I can't really say what I'd rather them do, but turning weapons on us is not it. The point is that they are one order away from mowing down every protestor in sight because these people are made into robots, attack dogs for the state who run on command and authority alone. They are a threat, period

I would frankly argue your pedantry is more dangerous. They're all part of the same military-industrial-imperial system that serves capital and nothing else. Who really gives a fuck about their SOPs and all that? It makes no real or practical difference. The Guard can never, ever be a tool for good

People will seriously celebrate this fake ass charity while turning around to spit on their unhoused neighbors and groups like us who support them. This is not cute. This is not sweet. It's exposing the hypocrisies of American liberalism and the reasons why someone like Malcolm X saw them as enemies

I cannot stress this enough, if ordered to do so, these people would be putting bullets in the heads of every single protestor without a second thought. This is imperial propaganda and military apologia at work. They are a threat to us here just as other branches are doing terrorism abroad. Wake up!

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

The National Guard is still patrolling DC, carrying handguns & long rifles, patrolling vibrant community spaces in packs to intimidate residents, especially Black residents, of the city.

Keep that in mind as you see the videos of them handing out pizza & coffee in MN.

You should not be falling for this imperialist apologia. Literally anybody could be doing the minimum Remora is describing. God knows Black and Brown mutual aid organizers have been doing so well before any of us were even born. It's no different than watching cops play basketball with children

What are you talking about? Fuck every single soldier in every single capacity. Are we not all on the same page that the US military is a tool of unmitigated evil and that "following orders" is not a serious justification for carrying out said acts of terrorism? If not, our politics aren't aligned

ICE is not untrained, they’re unrestrained.

Abolish is the floor. Democrats need to come along or get out of the people’s way.

Here are some ways you can support your unhoused neighbors during this winter storm!

Cash is incredibly helpful, it lets folks get inside as paying customers & can help folks get a hostel bed or hotel room to get through the night.

Give what you can to folks, we’ll only get through this together!

Today we were able to send another $2300 in rent support & security deposits to keep people housed!

Thank you all for making this work possible 🖤

For folks not in DC, Malcolm X Park is a huge gathering space for people in the middle of the city west of the river.

We’ve hosted community events there, stop the bleed trainings, Narcan trainings. They’re deploying the military to a vibrant community space.

People are dunking on the posts from rapid response groups in the DC area about why they don’t use whistles

But those groups are making these kinds of decisions after talking with a whole bunch of people in the targeted communities. They’re not doing it arbitrarily

I haven't seen the dunks but I will say that LOCAL CONDITIONS have to determine TACTICS. Folks, whistles are just a tactic and tactics vary according to context. Why waste time on this? If you've organized for 10 minutes, you know this is true. Keep it moving.

My wheelchair won't turn on and a wheelchair technician won't be available until the 15th...

Thank you thank you thank you!!! :)

It’s Giving Tuesday! This year, why don’t you give to mutual aid, either groups or literally just give money to your neighbors in need? If you’re in DC, @remorahousedc.bsky.social and @ftpmutualaid.bsky.social are awesome options

Yes, you can send donos to cjr00 thank you ❤️🖤

Thank you all! Love & solidarity!

Hey y'all, this is genuinely the last day to support Melissa. You all can help prevent the loss of housing! Any small amount helps!! En masse, it would take so little from everyone. Please support and share if you can. We have been working with her for a while now and can vouch - she is good people!

Show some love for our neighbor!
