Solidarity, not charity! We served chicken pot pie casserole and passed out survival supplies at this week’s distro.

A flyer that says: “Emergency funds needed! A local community member needs help with an unexpected financial burden.” A link to Venmo is included with the handle @SWMO_Solidarity_Network

🚨URGENT - FUNDS NEEDED!🚨

A community member is facing eviction and needs funds to pay rent.

Tenants rarely have legal representation during eviction proceedings while most landlords do, resulting in an unfair imbalance.

Please take a moment to make your voice heard and show support for the proposed ordinance to ensure tenants have a right to legal counsel!

Volunteers cooked pineapple fried rice, orange tofu, sweet and sour vegetables, and beef and broccoli for a small group at the GLO Center this week. Solidarity forever!

it was always disingenuous claptrap but as someone who came of age in the Bush era it’s still genuinely stunning to see Rs go from wrapping themselves in The Troops to “vets are all lazy bums who don’t deserve jobs”

True/False 2025: Deaf President Now! is a crucial reminder of the power of collective action Deaf President Now! // Courtesy Apple TV+ Missouri-based film festival True/False is running currently, and this is one of the many reviews about new, innovative documentary & documentary-adjacent mov...

“Deaf President Now!” was of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a while. Such a cool story, the folks interviewed were hilarious, and it highlights an interesting part of social justice history.

If you need something to feel like maybe, just maybe, the good guys can win, it’s this doc.

Unfortunately, SGF City Council passed Bill 2025-35. Anyone with expired tags is now subject to having their vehicle impounded at the whim of the police.

Hardinger, Jensen, and Horton voted against it, and in the interest of the working class.

Please let them know their votes are appreciated.

I’m still learning how to navigate the world on ADHD medication. I got side tracked today and spent an hour trying to make an origami paper crane instead of doing actual work. My focus was impeccable, just on the wrong thing. Oops. (No paper cranes were made, sadly.)

Mutual aid can take many forms. Sometimes it looks like totes full of coats, hats, and bus passes to share with folks who need them.

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

Fantastic read.

🚨 STOP the City’s Unfair Towing Plan! 🚨

On February 24, SGF City Council is expected to vote on Ordinance 2025-035. If passed, police would have discretionary power to tow cars with expired tags from public property - punishing folks encountering barriers to paying renewal fees. Read more below ⬇️

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Anyone Can Push Updates to the DOGE.gov Website "THESE 'EXPERTS' LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN."

Yeah, that’s what happens when you let 20 year olds with minimal experience into your production systems with no oversight. Good thing we’re slashing government cybersecurity budgets and staff, right?

In case you don’t know (and I didn’t until recently), here is the city of Springfield’s process for making laws. We’re at the 2nd reading stage for the towing bill. There’s still time to email your council reps! The only ones who will benefit from this are towing companies, NOT working class folks.

Lmaooo remember when we tried to make “freedom fries” a thing? Anyone?

“Circle-slash” No sign that shows a car being towed

The city wants tow cars with expired tags parked in public spaces.

This means:

❌ Struggling families losing their only transportation
❌ Workers unable to get to their jobs
❌ Impound fees making it even harder to recover

Join us Feb. 10 @ 6:30PM - 2620 W Battlefield Rd and say NO to the TOW!

Big yikes. So many red flags. No doubt our adversaries are trying like hell to break in knowing these back doors exist (wouldn’t be the first time). Watch the US Treasury get pwned soon thanks to this move.
