Maine, it is so cold. You know how cold? If you are a person that run an errand today and has the cash monies, you should take some of the cash monies from the machine and give some cash monies to people who don't have the cash monies. Thank you for your consideration. Lizzie Lou, Dog

I don’t spend energy on : thinking about punishing people doing evil I know that is on so many people’s lists. It doesn’t have to be and I don’t want it on mine. I’m thinking abt preventing, blocking harm & creating just economies, liberatory futures, being a good neighbor, communicating love

i am so grateful for : learning

Keep AI out of your health care. I have now had two meetings with a nurse practitioner where i have had to say DO NOT USE AI to take notes. I have been explicit about what goes in and not in my electronic health record. I know even a correction/deletion is in the cloud.

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop. PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!! People need homes they can afford!

we have to get kids out of all types of detention centers especially trans kids. for people who still don’t understand what we mean when we say “a jail by another name” or have never experienced these types of supposedly “soft incarceration” you need to trust us in that this needs to be a priority

abolition, comrades, abolition we can’t have people in cages now or ever. there has never been a good cage but we can’t find people, the reform is proving to be (well) reform, and we’re seeing the torture (until we can’t)

One memo I’d like to write to candidates/people is: 1. You can stop encampment sweeps & support housing first policies 2. You can stop data farms (people are flipping districts on this) 3. You can be an immigrant who supports immigrants 4. You can be anti-racist, class-conscious & intellectual

when I regained consciousness a stranger handed me an orange juice she got from the store on the corner my friend thanked her and asked how much it was so she could pay her back the stranger shrugged and said "I dunno, I just went in and took it" and then walked away. all of this to say: I miss NYC

There are 25 tents on this wishlist at the $50 price point. Can we clear this list? @remorahousedc.bsky.social asks you to let them know if you order a tent.

Remora House needs tents in DC. It’s actually important to move on these requests quickly because of need, supply chain issues, and how manufacturers manipulate prices. Let’s do this for folks without housing in one of the most militarized places in the US.

‼️Donations Needed‼️ Extreme cold & snow incoming as the city continues to clear camps during hypothermia alerts. We need tents!!! If able order from our WL or donate so we an order WL: tinyurl.com/remorahousew... Cashap: $RemoraHouseDC Givebutter: givebutter.com/remorahouse Love & solidarity

Steal one book from a bookshop: get charged with shoplifting Steal millions of books to feed to your plagiarism machine: make a pile of money ⚖

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

This is now standard leadership in the US. We are here. We hear about it after. We have to find very, very early places to intervene — before the tech is made, before someone takes the job to kill…

This is what Newsom should do, instead of staging photo opps to destroy homeless people’s belongings.

mayor promises to treat homeless people like people in groundbreaking progress towards equality lol

Would love it if @mayorwu.boston.gov took note.

Let’s get him in and talking to other Mayors. This needs to become a resolution at the US Conference of Mayors. It is an unconscionable level of local policy violence that kills constituents.

On the morning when the guy who shot up the subway was caught, I was a block away at Tompkins Sq Park as NYPD tossed all the belongings of unhoused folks who were hurting no one. The guy who sells flowers at the hardware store on 1st Ave is who actually spotted the shooter while cops were harassing.

Trans people suffer the most violence in prison. PREA was never enough but it’s just disgusting to roll it back.

They aren’t being shifted . They agree . They want to preserve this power for later , because many of them actually like the triangulation Trump uses

The sheer number of Silicon Valley tech families I know who would immediately sign up lol. Nobody enforces no screens as much as that crowd. I regularly get death stares because I park my kid with Miss Rachel when he gets restive in restaurants lol.

PSA: If you're reporting on undocumented people, their safety is more important than your story.

It may not happen soon, but Mitch Bradley should remember that he can be recalled to duty someday and court martialed for ordering murder.

i’m not even clicking that. first day free from federal funding — be the journalists we need

I did some work of whiteness theory. It’s white supremacy. We don’t need a million articles on what is so obvious in racial capitalism during an authoritarian regime.

it’s been at least a decade since I’ve been able to find work without overt carceral links with some ease I think it’s becoming increasingly impossible to not have work tied to the police state — cops, ICE, DoW, surveillance, the criminal punishment system, contractors contracting with

NEW: Federal agents wearing tactical gear and wielding assault rifles busted into an apartment in Jackson Heights Thursday morning as a helicopter hovered overhead, according to eyewitnesses and video obtained by THE CITY. buff.ly/hbjzh2q

They will say they had a “warrant” and then either be forced to release them without charges.

We continue tomorrow. Sign up!!!

Day 8 Failing & succeeding in big ways each day. I'm openly saying that this is a huge experiment in DIY non-carceral care without the resources necessary -- and I'm patching it together with mutual aid, virtual offerings that make life-saving differences. breakfast: saltines & tea dinner: yummy

We can think of things. I know we can. And they won’t be performative things.

Trans women continue to be maligned as predators and invaders even as regimes basically make it legal to rape us.

We must fight for abolition to make everyone safer. To be queer is to be an abolitionist. Reform is not the answer. #FreeThemAll

also, all gratitude to facilitators and thoughtful facilitation

I just had one of the most powerful community experiences of my life -- and it was virtual. I'm always mindful of the my own and the movement's ableism in the push to onground (inaccessible) spaces -- sometimes it's alright to be where we are, together. It can be & is beautiful and revolutionary.

Mutual aid can be 3-5 ppl you commit to mutually looking out for. It can be sending $1-$20 when you have it. It looks like babysitting. It looks like sharing food stamps. It looks like being of service when you can. It looks like giving af about ur neighbors & ur neighbors giving af about you.

it’s not just any school i was an organizer with moms at that school in the 90s — I know that neighborhood better than where I live now i know that school answer your phones check in on your neighbors

We are freezing… 💔🥶 The cold hits us every night, and we have no safe place to stay. Our situation is getting worse… no stable income, nothing to survive on 😢 My children shiver from the cold we are freezing, freezing 💔🥺 Please… any help can save us 🙏💔 gofund.me/78aa2a366 ✅ @mommunism.bsky.social

I hate being a burden and I’m sorry I keep needing help, it’s just I’m down to $6.65 to my name and SNAP doesn’t come in for six more days, I’m out of food, and I don’t have shelter after the 6th. #crowdfunding #transcrowdfund #mutualaid #disability #homeless

One of my neighbors and I exchanged phone numbers today. He’s not on signal. We talked about emergencies and what to use the phone for and not. He didn’t feel safe having the hotline texted to him but has the number. Have these conversations. Answer your phones. Be neighbors.

Everyone in Chicago needs to read this AND TAKE ACTION. Everyone else should read this and ask what's happening where you are with your public library systems.

thanks @businessweek.bsky.social 💚

& I was trying to take a nap since I’ve been up since 2am or something. I get it. I hate the phone. But if some kid isn’t picked up because their caregiver got kidnapped & you were the misdial — well, you want to get or return that call. It’s inconvenient to be a neighbor-ing. We’re here. It’s hard.

Pretty sure what just happened was a misdial but people should be answering phones & messages. I just got a vm from an elementary school for a student in Boston. (Obviously called back & left a message saying think it’s a misdial but if per chance I am the emergency contact happy to help!)

God this breaks my heart so fucking much We need to be showing solidarity every fuckin day, building relationships with the folks most targeted and keeping them from feeling alienated and afraid as much as we can.
