In a recent piece for @npquarterly.bsky.social, Alison Chopel, Orlando Velázquez Pérez, Belinés Ramos Negrón, & Eduardo J. Rodríguez León discuss the findings of their recent research on community-owned housing in Puerto Rico.

"The edges of our movements hold the deepest lessons." This @npquarterly.bsky.social piece follows Katrina Schaffer, who seeded the #DisabilityFrontlinesFund at TWF. Only 6% of disability funding goes to rights & justice. Here's how DFF is closing that gap: https://bit.pulse.ly/xr2dk1t2zd

Reminder: today, this week, this #BHM, this new year of old fights: “I had to examine, in my dreams as well as in my immune-function tests, the devastating effects of overextension…Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”—Audre Lord

Hundreds of millions spent on human misery

Early giving is one of the clearest ways funders can protect democracy. In a new @npquarterly.bsky.social op-ed, @joegoldman.bsky.social outlines why internal processes, not external barriers, are often what slow election-year funding, and how funders can fix that now.

Right now Rikers Island, the physically largest jail in the entire United States, is holding under 7,000 people. ICE's warehouse plans include detention camps which will hold between 8,500-10,000 people in buildings not designed for human habitation.

The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people. The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it: Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted
