Food Access โ€” DC FOOD PROJECT

For DC folks looking for help with food insecurity or to help neighbors experiencing food insecurity or needing other essential resources, this org is fantastic.

As SNAP and potentially WIC is halted and decimated, this will become even more of an issue.

i hope that a governor spanberger and a democratic general assembly uses its authority to discipline the university for its capitulation and to remove these BOV members who have decided that they work for donald trump and not the people of the commonwealth

A photograph from a No Kings protest in northern Virginia showing the flag if the USA and a sign reading "Rebellions are built on hope." The sign is black and all of the words are in white except the word hope; it's blue. There are also blue flowers drawn on the bottom corners. The blue sky with whispy clouds is behind the sign along with a few trees just beginning to change colors for the Fall.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

UNTIL ITโ€™S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trumpโ€™s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

I'd also like to add that most 4-year state universities were tuition-free until the Republican Governor of California, Ronald Reagan, led the charge to end tuition-free college in 1960. Brown vs the Board of Education was passed in 1952. They made college unaffordable to keep black people out.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

Good question. I don't think that any thing's ever gone awry so I'm not sure there tbh, but I've definitely seen no changes happen. Then I usually turn to divination to see if I can discern what's up. And, sometimes I just trust that maybe it wasn't meant to be ๐Ÿ˜…

Mutate Fleshlasher Mutate Fleshlasher is a level 10 - 81 NPC that can be found in The Botanica. This NPC can be found in The Botanica. This NPC is the objective of Culling the Herd.

The mutates in the Botanica (like www.wowhead.com/npc=19598/mu...) are classified as beasts but untamable. I keep hoping they'll be tamable one day (even if only as an accident).

May every single human being on this planet be safe.

May every single person be protected from harm.

May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evilโ€” together, speedily and in our days.

By biting words, and grasping hands,
No unjust power in this land.
Their poisoned wealth, their cruel decree,
Shall break and falter, bound by thee.
For those who stand, with voices strong,
Protected now, where they belong!

We now live in a country where the President can personally threaten a 16-year-old girl in the morning and by the afternoon a Democratic state will agree to target and segregate her from her peers for the crime of being transgender.

"The products you love are tangibly worse. We're richer than ever, especially after all those layoffs. We're also building giant data centers that cost billions of dollars to force new and bad features into products you're already mad at, at the low cost of "the environment and every work of art."

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

TCL brings folks together not in spite of their differences but because of them. If you think the world could use more bridge builders, more peace makers, helping us out with a donation between now and March 6 will help us immensely! Give here: www.amplifyatx.org/organization...
