There’s a weekly protest at the facility every Wednesday. This week there were almost 1000 people present. bearingwitnessne.org

This is a great idea that I am going to steal for Providence RI

In 2021, Greg Abbott abandoned unhoused Texans to die in unsurvivable cold. We quietly coalesced to fundraise money for hotel rooms then drove virtually every unhoused person to a safe, warm place to ride out the storm. Direct actions like these are more effective when they fly under the radar.

Anarchists get shit done. Quickly, quietly, respectfully and on a shoestring.

that’s it, i’ve finally taken my best photo of all time 😅 (this chubster is an unapologetic beggar so don’t feel bad for him) 🧪🌍 #bird #birb

The professional grade logistics of the 9,723 individual pop-up leftist supply depots are running laps around the people paid to do these jobs

The more I see of everything, the more anarchist I become: because centralized, hierarchical systems keep committing the most horrific atrocities imaginable, while regular people, often in decentralized networks, keep engaging in the most incredible acts of community defense and care.

I also found two postcards from my last batch of radical postcards, and will hopefully make more (if I can find where I put the blank postcards, lol).

Experimenting with earrings! God I just love bead so much, I want to play with them all day.

Libraries are fucking AWESOME, you guys. Last night, my local library had a book bedazzling workshop, and I got to make @mskellymhayes.bsky.social's new book sparkly! ✨️

We have shipped 325,686 whistles in February (these last 12 days) so far. This is about 651 kg of filament that we have gone through. It really does help to get gift cards for non-Amazon sources!

Hello folks! In our neverending quest to get our filament needs away from Amazon, I'm doing a call today specifically for elegoo gift cards! They have really nice affordable bundles & a few of our printers love their PETG! Send to [email protected] 💓 us.elegoo.com/products/ele...

In the same way that using prison labor is morally worse than most things people are in prison for, this is morally worse than anything cops could possibly be worried about these groups doing.

HEY, LEFTISTS AND PROGRESSIVES REPEAT AFTER ME ANARCHY DOES NOT MEAN CHAOS ANARCHY MEANS ANTI-HIERARCHY WE LIVE IN CHAOS RIGHT NOW UNDER FASCISM FASCISTS CREATE CHAOS, THEY CREATE DIVISION, THEY CREATE INTENTIONAL CONFLICT AND COMPETITION STOP MAKING UP THE DEFINITIONS OF WORDS

I am loving this new LUCE flyer

🌯 Big burrito update 🌯 With good feels & a way to keep paying it forward exponentially. You donate to feed unhoused folks & it's done by placing large orders with local immigrant-owned businesses, keeping people fed while keeping others afloat financially! It's truly beautiful!

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because: 1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it. 2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

I'll believe it when I hear from likely targeted folks that *they* believe it's over If it is true (or whenever it finally happens) then we have a mountain of subsequent questions; Big one is how do we get people back who've been abducted?

we know this, but a reminder: anytime ICE CBP etc says they’re drawing down their presence in a city, it’s bullshit. whatever their numbers, lawless federal agents remain behind & still cause havoc & kidnap people. Also relocated agents just go somewhere else to destroy lives. Abolish ICE end DHS

MEGA VOUCH for allison and reed. Please chip in and/or share this need as you can to get this barn raised. 🌻

I want to practice a bit more and improve my bedazzling skills, but would anyone be interested in a raffle for a bedazzled book to raise money for mutual aid funds? And if so, are there any particular books you'd want to see bedazzled?

So glad I've been bitten by the crafting bug again, because making crafts to sell for mutual aid fundraisers is pretty much the best way I can find to stay sane in these times.

I also found two postcards from my last batch of radical postcards, and will hopefully make more (if I can find where I put the blank postcards, lol).

Stars / Quilt #Februaryfrost26 #art

things maybe changing? but today shit’s still fucked! so, i’m raising money for someone in south minneapolis. they’re white but have been impacted financially by the metro surge. they are facing eviction & need $3500 to pay off fees + jan/feb rent anything helps!!! www.paypal.me/whinterqueen

It’s day 72 of the ICE occupation of MSP. We received some DMs after yesterday’s post asking how to help with rent relief: check out the rent relief funds at StandWithMinnesota.com

Experimenting with earrings! God I just love bead so much, I want to play with them all day.

guess who was paying people’s rent the fastest? 🏴

Week 2 for #februaryfrost26 playing with fun colors and shapes inspired from quilt patterns! #art #traditionalart #illustration

“…we are going to have to fight for everybody, which requires us to divest ourselves from the notion that some people are not worth fighting for—whether because they are “criminals” or they’re criminalized for being migrants, trans, unhoused, disabled, drug users, pregnant, or their political views.

“Just, as could be observed so often in Gaza, 25 direly needed humanitarian aid trucks carrying essential basic necessities for people in besieged Kobane are still halted at the Turkish border just outside of Kobane.”

NEW: Indigenous activists erected multiple tipis at Coldwater Spring outside Fort Snelling and near the Whipple Federal Building -- headquarters of ICE's Operation Metro Surge -- establishing an occupation demanding 'land back' in the form of “returning Fort Snelling” to the Dakota people. [Video]

What a fantastic fun project for a library put on. I want to bedazzle a book!

I know DC is different because the federal government has more direct control here, but please stop saying stuff like “they’re removing the national guard from all U.S. cities” because it’s not true and it erases DC

Libraries are fucking AWESOME, you guys. Last night, my local library had a book bedazzling workshop, and I got to make @mskellymhayes.bsky.social's new book sparkly! ✨️

I’m genuinely happy they’re pulling national guard out of other cities. I don’t want anyone anywhere harassed by militias. But I don’t want this to be normalized, and the only way that happens is if we stop talking about it. So I will keep talking about the continued occupation of DC.

Huhuhuhhuhuh ass snails

Ominous bird valentines.

I want to live in a world that doesn't have one class of people that makes all the decisions, and another class that has to live with them. I want to live in a world where everyone can have a say in the decisions that affect their lives. *anarchism intensifies*

KEEP GOING PUSHBACK WORKS

So uh, we just looked at some numbers and... You incredible people have hosted 3,310 CONFIRMED events using our map in the last year. 3,310 protests. In one year. Absolutely incredible. And for those keeping count, more than half of the hosts had NEVER ORGANIZED an action before. Amazing.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

a mutual aid fund organized in part by the congregation of a trusted friend, www.yesodfund.org went through their first $50,000 in SEVEN MINUTES. everywhere in MN needs our support now. here's one more way to do that:

Okay but this would be a really great college course

I like how certain self-proclaimed Leftists can't just accept that Noam Chomsky may have been a shitty person and so now have moved on to confidently saying he was state-controlled opposition it can never be humans are complicated, contradictory beings
