Stand With Minnesota Donation Directory Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

This takes enormous amounts of resources and sacrifice to pull off. Sharing this to support people on the ground:

"This directory of places to donate to all comes from activists on the ground, plugged into the situation. Everything is vetted, with the exception of individual GoFundMes"

The president of a university actually defends forcing a professor to remove Plato from his course by saying, "We didn't ban ALL Plato." Um, first, no one said you did. Second... dailynous.com/2026/01/13/a...

To Trans Youth, We see you. We love you. We will fight for you.

To Trans Youth: YOU ARE NEVER ALONE.

There are MILLIONS of loving, caring people who will continue to fight to protect you and your future.

These loathsome creatures who call themselves Democrats seem to believe that every trans person exists on an ice floe you can gently push out to sea. But trans people, besides being people in and of themselves, have families and friends and communities, and now we're coming for you.

I will NEVER vote for a politician who votes for anti-trans legislation. Never. I don't care who it is, it's a dead issue. Move on. If my vote is so important to the future of democracy they should have thought of that before they voted to exterminate my child.

Sparks fly up Once you’ve seized the tools of political life to build communal power, it’s hard to forget what a hammer feels like in your hand.

I'm so psyched about @bonfire.bonfire.cafe.ap.brid.gy's work on making the open social internet good for real communities by putting in the culture work right from the very beginning. I'm a scavenger and a pragmatist *and also* I think the way we do things matters.

It’s a great day to donate to Wikipedia.

This is the right answer. I will never stop standing up for my trans brothers and sisters. And if you want to be mean, you'd better not do it around me! 💯

Cried watching it the first time and cried reading all the background I did not know. Another sliver of hope and light in the darkness. 💗

I would like everything everywhere to stop getting worse all the time

This stopped me cold. I just keep reading the headline. It seems literally impossible to me, that this thing that cut through an entire generation has an answer now.

It's impossible to convey how terrifying those years were, how much loss there was, how much pain. My heart. It feels like a miracle.

Really enjoy following the process of your process. Thank you for sharing it!

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

A small comics panel, with a drawing of a King ace of spades playing card drawn in the style of traditional playing cards, but with the features of King George III, and the upper portion resembles Trump. Excerpts from the Declaration of Independence are written small around the card. Each of these phrases refers specifically to the injustices imposed by the King (and connect to this current moment – references to Tariffs, to transporting us overseas…) At top in Large letters – “DISCARD.” At Bottom, #NoKings and my info: Nick Sousanis @nsousanis.bsky.social www.spinweaveandcut.com

single image closeup on the face of lady justice, in the background, all dark, human figures, faceless prisoners, seated, packed tightly together, bodies merging into a sea of heads, with each figure’s head another’s back. At top in large letters right above her head, text reads "Due process is not optional" A smaller caption box centered on her face where her blindfold would be reads: "No matter who you are." We’ve discarded a king before, we must do it again. #NoKings (excerpted and remixed from my comic on due process - with alt-text, notes, process, printable versions on my site - appreciate sharing https://spinweaveandcut.com/due-process/)

A small comics panel - foreground lady justice holding the scales in one a prison cell in the other a court house. In the background, all dark, human figures, faceless prisoners, seated, packed tightly together, bodies merging into a sea of heads, with each figure’s head another’s back. Caption at top “What Process is Due?” Text caption: “Succinctly, due process means no one shall be deprived of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” Next Caption: “this is not optional." This next caption is now on the scales of justice - right about the prison cell side: “Before bringing down the power of the state to remove a person’s rights,” Caption, above the other side of the scale, wherein a courthouse is held: “we raise up the protection of the law, this extends to everyone -“ caption now right over where Lady Justice’s blindfold is, obscuring it entirely: “No matter who you are.” Caption below: “whatever we think of you, whatever you might have done,” Caption: “it’s’ imperative everyone be treated fairly,” final caption lower right: “to ensure freedome for all.” and here we see a tiny image of the statue of liberty’s torch and hand.

Alt-text: A comics page in black and white, addressing the concept that a country is an idea - and ours is built on among other things the concept of due process (which goes back to the Magna Carta). Images and text all snake across the page across a backdrop of humans imprisoned, and packed together, becoming a black mass in the lower right. I’ve written full description of the imagery with all the text on my site at the link (can’t put enough characters here…) Alt-text: A comics page in black and white, addressing the concept that a country is an idea - and ours is built on among other things the concept of due process (which goes back to the Magna Carta).

Defying DeSantis, Florida Pride Marchers Light Up Jacksonville Bridge with Rainbow Organizers demonstrated that they didn’t need state permission for queer visibility.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.

So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.

They opened the drawbridge to block them.

So they marched to a different bridge.
