Fuck being "too emotional" about the occupation

There is no such thing

It is an excuse for cowards to stay home and never allow their lives to be touched by solidarity, even accidentally

This framing is brilliant.

Too often we are told that someone is "too close" or "too involved" to be able to exercise good judgment. But I agree completely that not participating in the defense of this community disqualifies you from participating in its recovery.

Let how exhausted I look here give you a window into how hard mutual aid organizers have been pushing to keep our neighbors safe and housed when no one else will. Please write to your councilmembers and the mayor and urge them to pass Pause Evictions, Save Lives!

Existing actual social safety nets like Minneapolis Public Housing Authority and St. Paul’s equivalent are among the biggest evictors in their respective county’s court right now.

There is no institutional support for keeping people housed from non-profits or the public sector.

People are still trapped in their homes in my neighborhood here in Jason's ward, unable to go to work (at jobs which may not even exist anymore), sick with worry over how they’ll pay utilities and remain housed.

It's not over. ICE is still here, and the least we can do is afford families more time.

ICE was still riding around dangerously at 1 AM last night. That’s why we can’t rest until every single one of them is gone

tonight we had to go to costco. 7yo had texted me every 30 minutes since 4:30 asking when i can call, and in the last 20 minutes it has become “it doesn’t take 2 hours to go to the store” and “can you hurry up” my god

This is who the Minnesota WILD GM wanted in the US Men's locker room to celebrate. Someone who is actively covering up the murders of 2 Minnesotans.

A government which does not want trans people to exist, and is legally allowed to force detransition in prisons, has created incentive for itself to put more trans people in prisons.

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

REQUEST: The people caretaking the Alex Pretti memorial are looking for archival storage boxes/materials to store the room full of memorial items they’ve preserved.

Does anyone have a lead on where to get some?

Child rapists are dropping bombs on little girls and the best the Dems can do is ask them to file the proper paperwork.

Just so you all know, we are still signing every male up for the draft when they turn 18

I literally have to do it if they arent already signed up and i work with youth who have to be low-income w/ other significant barriers to employment if you catch my drift….

That argument exists because the lives of non-white people are cheap in imperial discourse. Mass death on the other side of the world has no reality outside of what space it takes up on the american tv news cycle. If it were otherwise, the old normal would have been as insupportable as the new

$607ish?/$700

Ya'll are amazing. A lot of bills are hit with this already as well as rent. That last little bit isnt a rush and maybe i even find a way to get it with a random bit of work something.
