There are no moderate remedies to an extremist government.

On this day in 1944, Leila Khaled, legendary Palestinian revolutionary, was born in Haifa. She is very ill and in the hospital right now. If you have time today, you should read some of her autobiography from 1973: My People Shall Live. Here’s a free PDF: ia601208.us.archive.org/1/items/MyPe...

We wear pink rags. If you see someone with a pink rag, tap them. They should be willing to support you. This is what we teach. The pink rag is so we can find each other. If you are in danger, we will fight with you. Queers bash back.

🚨ALERTA ALERTA ANTIFASCISTA Nazis are attempting to claim West Hollywood (WeHo) Today on my walk westbound on Santa Monica Blvd (SMB), I spotted no less than NINE sw*stikas painted on the sidewalk, curb and old payphone shells. Some of these tags contained the Star of David along with sw*stikas 🧵

Poinsettia Pl / SMB swastika w the Star of David tagged on the sidewalk outside of Westlake Recording Studios famously where Michael Jackson, Nas, Britney Spears, and so many other A-list musicians recorded hit albums.

Sierra Bonita Ave / SMB Outside of Paris Modeling House which was famous as a nude strip club (now permanently closed). “Trump Owes Me” tagged on the auto repair shop’s parking lot fence across the street heading eastbound.

Curson Ave /SMB Outside of a dental clinic where it has been targeted in the past with slurs and hate speech.

Genesee Ave /SMB Stickers that read anti-LGBT speech outside Taylor Rose Hair Studio, one of the only black-owned shops in West Hollywood. swastikas painted on the curb strip in front of the liquor store next to the hair studio.

Ogden Dr / SMB swastikas and the Star of David tagged on a garbage can in front of a thrift store, and opposite of a pawn shop.

Orange Grove Ave / SMB swastika and a gold Star of David painted on an old pay phone cover posted on the fence of another auto repair shops’ parking lot. Sticker that reads “Love Live Israel” on a bike rack.

These are targeted attacks in front of black-owned and Jewish-owned businesses in WeHo, queer populated areas with lots of foot traffic on the Russian refugee side of town. Even Block by Block ambassadors (petty cops) reported sw*ztikas west on SMB heading down towards the “Rainbow District.”🧵

N*zi tags have been painted all across WeHo, the “gayest city in America.” It is time to organize your direct neighbors and build a solid community defense network. We keep reading reports of ICE kidnappings of so-called US citizens to asylum seekers. Organize and defend your neighbors next to you.

🚨 ALERTA: Neo-Nazi activity reported in West Hollywood, CA. Rows of swastikas painted across Santa Monica Blvd. Report documented by @anniejump.bsky.social & @transrescueaction.bsky.social in West Hollywood, CA. More info coming soon. Follow these accounts for current info.

Remember to hug your trans sis today (& treat her to dinner)!

Posting this so y’all can plan for Monday!!!

One of the best things I've ever seen in a comic book

When your enemy tells you who they are, believe them. And plan accordingly.

I know this crosswalk intimately. Too many drivers ignore the blinking light and keep going without even slowing down. I’ve been almost hit so many times. Pedestrians are at the mercy of cars/drivers. This is wrong. @anniejump.bsky.social herself has brought it to the City’s attention so many times.

Demand changes to your city streets. The design of these streets are to isolate each of us, and to feel the only way to be outside is in your own personal climate-controled tank. Demand road blocks and obstacles that make driver anxious. Drivers should be anxious, not pedestrians.

WE NEED TO SHUT IT DOWN!

It is impossible to overstate how horrifying it is inside of LA County jail. It's been inhumane for decades.

This thread provides rare insights into mistreatments and abuses that go on inside jail. Please read and start voicing demands for jail closures. Men’s Central Jail must go. Inhumane conditions in jail mirror and magnify the oppression that goes outside on the streets.

12:47PM LA County - Sybil Brand Commission for Institutional Inspections (SBC) arrived shortly after the water came back on. sbc.lacounty.gov Winter & Kauja were the inspectors of the day. They entered w/out police, locked in w inmates. There was a line of inmates ready to voice their concerns. 👇🧵

Update - call from the jail block: Water was restored, people are being fed extra meals, and interviewers are asking inmates about the living conditions regarding their treatment. These wrongfully incarcerated folx are relieved to see that taking any action at all made monumental leaps.

County Board of Supervisor contact: 1st District: Hilda Solis (213) 974-4111 2nd District: Holly Mitchell (213) 974-2222 3rd District: Lindsey Hortvath (213) 974-3333 4th District: Janice Hahn (213) 974-4444 5th District: Kathryn Barger (213) 974-5555 Tell them to turn the jail's water on!

This is outrageous. Shut down IRC Men’s Central Jail. Stop the criminalization of the poor and all disadvantaged & disenfranchised!!!

Liberation from constrictive gender roles is for everybody. Everyone benefits from it. Trans and queer people have no choice but to be on the front lines, but all of us should be there together. This is not just about protecting "minorities." It's about freedom for all, in every aspect of life. 🏴

As an agender person, I fully endorse and resonate with this statement. I am aware that most of us trans folx really want to be left alone and lead quiet lives with loved ones. However, by virtue of our revolutionary existence, we have been put in a position to fight. Let’s celebrate you/us!

Sheri has been assisting others in jail with food pushing back against the torture of malnutrition and starvation She's actively feeding people using the money you all sponsor. Sheri is a beautiful soul who is doing something beautiful in a dark place and dark times Please show Sheri you support

This week so far we raised $70 to put on inmate's books. Last week while i was locked up, ya'll raised over $900. Lets show the folx the system is trying to disappear that we see them and we support them! Jail Foods LA- Venmo: @WeKeepUsSafeCA Every dollar goes straight to the Gay jail block ✊

Going to a barbershop in São Paulo, Brazil, and being treated like no big deal was one of the greatest gender affirming moments of my life so far. I know some may think this is trivial but… it meant a lot to me.

“Kindness in jail is revolutionary.”

🚨 Kindness in jail is revolutionary. Helping others eat in jail breaks the war crime torture of starvation. Folx like Sheri are making sure systemic oppressive tactics are ineffective, and demonstrating kindness can exist in places that try to rob you of it. Support Jail Foods LA today

Sheri want to continue her work supporting the Gay jail block while she is still wrongfully incarcerated. Last week, we raised $900 and put every penny on mulitple inmate's books. This week, we have raised $20. Donate to Jail Foods LA via- Venmo: @WeKeepUsSafeCA 🧵/-

Sheri Singleton: "You know it feels good to help people. Me and Quentin have been doing what you said and handing out food to everyone." "If you can keep it up, we wanna keep helping. You know we're giving food to people who dont have any at all first." 🧵

25 years in prison over fucking fried chicken? With a bail of more than a million dollars??? This fucking country cannot even feed its fucking ppl, and it criminalizes ppl for just trying to survive. Who are the real criminals? Pls donate if you can. What we can each spare goes a long way.

🚨 Sheri Singleton, a black trans Cherokee woman, is facing 25 years over friend chicken. She's being held at the IRC Men's Central Jail, Gay block w bail set over $1 million dollars. Sheri calls frequently to provide updates about her case and her work in Jail Foods LA 🧵 Her statements below:

They are literally black bagging Palestinian protesters and paying to send immigrants to Salvadorian gulags we cannot be fucking doing our usual discourses right now Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Why would you shorten it to Annie, when my sister has such a fabulous, fun name like Annie Jump? “Annie” does not describe her. “Annie Jump” completes her and describes who she is!!! That @anniejump.bsky.social one and only Annie Jump Vicente!!!

🔔 When publishing her name, please keep in mind that she is first name Annie Jump, last name Vicente, and her pronouns are (she/her). She is not Annie. We are not Pride Was. You are not a conveniently shortened version of your name. 🏳️‍⚧️ Annie Jump is her first name & you are asked to respect this.

Annie Jump’s pre-trial hearings both got moved to later dates. The Feb 15, 2024 case will be heard on 4/29, and the most recent case (2/27/2025) on 4/15. Thank you so much to all who were out at the courthouse to support her today!!! @anniejump.bsky.social #FreeAnnieJump
