Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops

"5-year-old arrested" should not be a sentence we have to utter. I'm a nonviolent person but I wish only the worst fate upon ICE and every single person involved in detaining literal children. Nobody should be kept in these vile conditions, especially not kids, like wtf are we doing as a society.

Another victory for the eugenicists in the White House, and a disaster for world’s ability to respond to disease outbreaks

There is a direct line between the IDF using Palestinian children as human shields, and ICE using 5 year olds as bait. That line is that the IDF trains ICE. That is what the training is in "they just need more training"

hi, i really need help. i’m a disabled nonbinary autistic person. i only have $25 in my bank account and have no way to pay my $1000 rent due next week. i have no backup, no savings. please share and donate if you can 💞 #mutualaid

You can't abolish ICE without abolishing deportation. Otherwise you're just giving it a new name.

heartening thread here. there is real, meaningful work we can do to protect our communities, we can learn how to do it from each other, and we don't have to do it alone.

On the one hand, having no job means not making any money, but on the other hand I’m finally able to put my Unemployment degree to use.

as someone who feels most grounded in nature, yet unable to be in nature anymore without my body betraying me, has been making me feel both trapped and as if i’m floating adrift. my body has become so much more disabled due to my last job and it’s hard to cope with that.

Tough morning. Kona had her oncology appointment and is staying at the vet for more x-rays and tests before we can decide what we're going to do. Just tests alone are a couple thousand dollars so forgive me if I plug my shop a lot coming up. (I even have greyhound stickers!) shop.breelundberg.com

that ring camera your neighbors have? It’s a fascist snitch and will be used to round up people you care about. Your Alexa ? Whelp I have some bad news about Amazon and it’s increasingly blurry relationship with law enforcement and ice.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Imagine just...being a cat

I deeply appreciate this podcast episode.

How to get into nature.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

A couple years back I did a trio of Enantiornithes illustrations for wikipedia/free use. Enantiornithes are underappreciated & wikipedia has too few of them illustrated, making it harder for people's imaginations to be sparked by how unusual they are! Here's the first - Lectavis bretincola 🎨🐡🦉🧪

A third immigrant held at Camp East Montana has died, reportedly by suicide. Victor Manuel Díaz was detained in Minnesota. He is the sixth migrant to die since Jan. 1 in ICE detention. My story: www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

A thread of things you can do to help folks in MN. If you've got funds to throw our way, the below website is a great place to start. I also repost fundraisers regularly as do other people on the ground. 🧵 www.standwithminnesota.com

Disabled people don’t survive without community care. So for us to be considered worth surviving, that’s building a world where we all survive by supporting each other.

Don’t share ai slop even if it makes fun of Trump. It is the tool of the enemy.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

I wasn’t being glib saying AI is fascist

Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

support CANMN! please!!! we plugged into them as drivers in early december and everyone we've delivered to has been so grateful. their needs have increased exponentially and will continue to. everyone deserves food.

Yes, literally.

something like this maybe

middle of the month and i’m already so stressed about not having money to pay next month’s rent and bills. i’m going to have to beg internet strangers for money again and who knows if they’ll help. why would they, when there’s so many more important fundraisers rn

I DO NOT CARE IF THE PERSON ICE IS BRUTALIZING IS A U.S. CITIZEN OR NOT AND EVERY TIME YOU MAKE THE DISTINCTION IT'S LIKE YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE FINE WITH THEM BRUTALIZING IMMIGRANTS

When you focus on the regular people showing up magnificently in all of their flawed beauty, it helps you to keep going.

About this: This practice of churches providing groceries/supplies to immigrant families who are afraid to leave their homes out of fear of ICE is widespread, and widely reported. What's different here is the *scale* of operations this one church is overseeing, and how public they are about it.
