Hey y'all I've taken the boo fundraiser down now because we have got her op funded 💜 thank you to everyone who contributed, it really does mean the world to us. I've still got a tip jar over at www.ko-fi.com/wrassletrash which will go towards post op meds and treatment she may need going forward

So excited for today’s happy hour with 5 or 6 of our unhoused neighbors. Took orders this AM. Will offer drinks, snacks, showers and laundry service, for our close friends who need these items more than we could ever imagine. Any assistance is welcome‼️ Venmo: @JohnathanPerk CashApp: $JohnathanPerk

Wounded Knee was a massacre of innocent people, including women and children. It was one of many atrocities committed by the United States against Native Americans. The heroes were those who fought against the US military. They deserve our honors. Not those who used Hotchkiss guns against children

I made myself a pair of crochet slippers over the last couple days. They're very cozy and comfortable.

"They are going to call protesters terrorists and they are going to call activist groups terrorist organizations and they are going to call foundations and donors terrorist funders and they are going to try to scare all of the above into not doing what they do."

I started my elderly Corgi/Chihuahua mix on a supplement I'd heard had benefits for early stage canine dementia, but hadn't expected much from it. I *thought* she was doing better on it, but wasn't sure if it was confirmation bias. Then we missed several days of it. I rarely endorse a product,

We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

(I do not want a staff and a building. I want the money people to give said money to people who want to do more structured things but can't because of current realities. Please I am begging you, just give money to people so they can do things like eat food and stay warm and learn things.)

I spend weeks asking strangers for cash to help specific cases and get maybe half usually. Give me a staff and a building? I hire all those people to help other people so I can do my actual job. Not rocket surgery.

Checking in from LA once again: yesterday ICE kidnapped at least 23 people & today they beat a patroller (US citizen, not that it should matter) unconscious, forcibly took her from the hospital, switched vehicles to confuse those following, & then released her out on the street.

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

The more time that passes, the more sympathetic I am to answers to almost any question like “Why is Y thing so bad lately?” that basically boil down to down to, “We had a catastrophic pandemic and tried to tell ourselves it wasn’t that bad.”

If only we were a nation of laws.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Portland residents scoff at Trump threat to send military: ‘This is not a war zone’ "Claims of violence by US president contrast with reality of life in vibrant, peaceful Oregon city, residents say" MSM you need to call this out! @nbcnews.com @msnbc.com

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

NEW: Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families. But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes. With @theassemblync.bsky.social

Yup. This is why. I know we often like to think it’s because he is incompetent or looking for a distraction. Multiple things can be true at once. They have to try to take down the people who will stop them. This is what all authoritarians do.

🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨 People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend. Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6

Alright, Cascadia. First things first: there’s some Lists/Feeds that people can follow to stay up to date with what’s happening in the PNW. Going to make a thread. If you have accounts that should be added to the list, let me know. Tag them. I’ll add them so everyone can find what they need.

If anyone from Portland, Oregon, sees this post, just know you’re in our prayers. Are there any survivors? How many days until you run out of food and lifesaving supplies? We’re sending care packages filled with lavender honey and goat milk preserves. Godspeed!

Happening TODAY until 4pm Loring Park @phoenix-rights.bsky.social

This year I've read 145+ books. No, I don't use books as a form of escapism, why would you ask?

And because they think Portland is the only city where people will physically fight back. They need folks to physically fight back to continue the crackdown with any support at all. They need their burning trashcan.

Crocheted a slipper and a start on its mate today despite my upper back being in constant spasms. Spinal stenosis pain is around a 7/10 tonight. Medicated and sleepy

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. - Assata Shakur Pic of the day #photography

The generals, broadly speaking, probably don't want to touch this with someone else's dick and a twenty foot pole. They have no option just now except to attend the meeting, as the order to show up is a lawful one. What should worry us is they're leaking they don't know what the meeting is for.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

The protest has moved to the intersection of 25th and Harvard. Join us.

Remember too that we are not dealing with one intelligent entity with a master plan to authoritarianism. We're dealing with who, he's on first, and I don't know is running around here somewhere after what. clown car levels of stoplight fire drills. Endless palace intrigues. There is no right hand.

At this point, whenever I hear ICE or other law enforcement yell “Stop Resisting,” I assume that the person isn’t resisting and the officer is yelling it to excuse his own violence towards the person.

If you don't want homeless people to be in public libraries unless they're reading, I have to wonder how you pull off the first part without effectively excluding many of them from being welcome to do the reading.

Since the term has been in the news recently

Every single person kidnapped by ice terrorists and held in concentration camps must be released NOW. Just to be clear, we have no respect for media that fails to pursue this relentlessly every time they speak to government officials.

If you and yours have a roof over their heads tonight, please help my friend have the same? Even $5 goes a long way. 15 $5 donations would cover tonight for them

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Folks, I'm asking a lot here, I know, but my friend is really struggling with SI right now, and feeling like their life has no value. I know it does. You know it does. Help keep them housed for a week so they can feel community support. $400 needed $critterscrazy or PayPal.me/Starbroken

If you are in the US military, this is your reminder that it is illegal to follow an unlawful order.
