Reasonable candidates will ignore this questionnaire. Questions about public health, housing, and criminal justice are already covered by many others. This PAC is part of the movement ecosystem fueling Trump’s criminalization of poverty and houselessness.

When I was displaced, I lost both my home and my medical home. I've gone without healthcare for years. There are so many reasons why. I'm reading this and crying.

I broke down making coffee this morning because I just want to drink coffee with another person. There isn't a thing that doesn't remind me that I'm alone in this.

Organizing off the anger of white people is unwise. That's my understatement of 2025.

may the nightmares of our waking hours not cross over into our dreams

OK. Nice seeing some of you. Going back to breathing through the pain.

I really wish fundraising worked the way the big creators on here think it does. It doesn't.

When I'm in this much (abdominal) pain I fantasize about opening the door and letting my dog Lizzie walk herself in the neighborhood and all of the adventures she would have.

I think daily about the opportunity costs of keep us un/under employed. For me & communities I care abt -- 5 years where I've been too unstable to organize. Multiply that by every leftist you know abt in the same situation. I'm just looking for a modest job w healthcare.

The level in which civilians are aiding the cops is beyond me. I wasn't prepared to see someone in my community investigated by homeland security for a bumper sticker. And, I've always been careful because on some level I knew. I just thought someone would kill me. I miscalculated.

I went to an in-person organizing meeting. It had been originally planned as mask-mandatory. I wore a mask despite ongoing dental pain & fending off a panic attack. I'd say that fewer than 10% of people did. I was told one of the facilitators didn't "like" masks.

Malak, through a US-funded genocide, is fundraising to keep her family alive. They need a tent ($1000). Her sister Maali needs a wheelchair. They need food & the most basic supplies. Here is the link for when (inevitably) this app deletes Malak's account. Please share & donate generously:

It’s 2:45am and I’m watching my dog Lizzie sleep. I’m thinking abt the weeks/months many of us were “on call” in Boston for encampment raids. I was living in a barricaded room w my phone turned to high Someone I helped elect, a Democrat, lied to my face abt those sweeps We have prepared for this

I miss phone calls, meetings, and actions.

A few people have asked where me & Lizzie are and if we are ok. I'm not ok. I'm exhausted to the point that opening my computer is hard. All of the energy I have is going to walking Lizzie and occasional job searching. I can't handle asking for help and being ghosted. And, I still love you.

I need to take a break from social media. Please keep sharing Malak’s fundraiser. Her account is deleted daily and often hard to find. chuffed.org/project/1423...

I am so close to poor choices I’ve resisted despite being poor and in untreated pain for so long. I just want to sleep.

horrific

I taped my tooth to the microwave today so I don’t lose it with my untreated ADHD. I’m hoping I can find a non-toxic way to fix it myself. To glue it back in my 55-year old mouth. Five years I’ve been living like this while people have said that I need to have an “abundance mindset.”

Sameer Project's daily updates tell us all we need to know about how Palestinians continue to fight for their existence and dignity in this genocide. Dr. Al-Farra at Nasser Hospital Pediatric ICU continues to save the lives of babies. 1 can Ensure = $28.25 Donate: chuffed.org/project/1368...

I’ve learned to meditate and breathe through incredible amounts of pain but I did not need to just lose a good part of a tooth when I’m already struggling to eat and speak. I really can’t do this anymore.

Language evolves to become more accurate.

The cruelty is the point: ICE releases woman it had locked up for 10 days by shoving her out the door of its Burlington hole in the pouring rain, with no phone, 30 miles from home; she walked over to the Burlington Mall and begged for help at the Cheesecake Factory. www.masslive.com/news/2025/08...

ice must be destroyed

anyways the problem with the Democratic Party is not the language its leaders use but the principles they lack if you know what you believe in it’s not actually that complicated to express it effectively

Sometimes Maine does feel like living in a Stephen King story. www.pressherald.com?p=7486072&uu...

I hate having to move forward with decisions that are awful for me but necessary for my survival. I would love to be a person who could say “no”

Now someone wants to call references before a second interview. Nonprofits need to agree on some best practices. Those of us looking for jobs edit each cover letter, answer your essay questions, modify our resumes, fill out online forms & now asking time from our references? For $45K/year

Stop even thinking about running Democrats who laid the foundation for Trump to violently displace unhoused people in a militarized DC Connect the dots

Everyone has completely lost the plot. The plot has gone missing. Has anyone seen the plot? Is the plot in the room with us right now? Did anyone leave a trail of breadcrumbs behind so we could find our way back to the plot?

The angry white man is not an appealing candidate and not the answer to the angry white man currently in office

IDK, I thought intellectualism was one of the things we were supposed to try to preserve in the face of fascism. Banning words seems antithetical to that aim.

I literally explained this in a job interview at an enviro-adjacent org yesterday. Yes, a job interview. Yes, I may die on the streets over this take but people are being ridiculously naive about AI and also shifting the costs to poor people they can’t see where server farms are being built.

At my lowest moments I have the deepest love for humanity because I can see our shared imperfection with such clarity And then it quickly disappears when I think of the atrocities people commit under the guise of “safety” or “community” and I wish I knew less I wish I could close my eyes & sleep

There is a place for everyone. That place is not always leadership.

Exactly. This is why we look for long term consistency and growth in choosing leaders. Consistent growth. Sudden turns (esp out of anger) show us little about how people will behave in office over time and under pressure.

I get that he is "honorary." This also gives me a lot more confidence in fighting ICE. I'm pretty banged up from surviving the past 5 years but I get an adrenaline rush when needed.

Someone who runs a circle I'm in has said to me multiple times: "You chose your life. You chose to give up your privilege. You didn't have to live this way." I think some of that is true as a white person who grew up poor. And I try to not have regrets when I am in physical pain from my choices

Time to organize a national night to get high, sit on the stoop or porch, and meet your neighbors wearing a KN95

An execution is the most obvious way to kill someone but there are other ways we kill people. Starvation is one of them. Lack of healthcare is another. Sometimes those things are very obvious and sometimes, less so.

Posting Malak & Maali's fundraiser. Malak's accounts continue to get labeled as spam and canceled on here. She posted 15 minutes ago. Access to cash is access to food in Gaza. Everything is more expensive than most of us can imagine. chuffed.org/project/1423...

I am afraid that at any moment I might lose my account, the same feeling as if I could lose my life at any moment. Both sides want ethnic cleansing for me

I love my dog and today like many days walking her was incredibly painful. I’m never giving her up and like most things in my life, I could really use a break now (and every once in a while)

The Bad Bunny PR residency sounds incredible

Most Americans have no understanding that what we are seeing right now is just the beginning phases of the right wing police state and now that key players are in place and they have become comfortable Things are going to accelerate rapidly in a way that is much darker than what we’ve already seen

One of the things I’ve learned a lot about this past year is how in many smaller towns, the sheriff, judge, real estate developer and construction company are either the same person, same family or just as good as. It’s all landlords all the way down.

ICE is ramping up its hiring efforts to support President Donald Trump's mass deportation goals. Here's a look inside the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia preparing these new #ICE recruits for the Trump administration's war on immigrants. Photos via @apnews.com

I made it through last time with a professional team of 5 and friends — one of whom ate with me weekly. He took me out and there was no judgement. He always paid to take that stress off. I’m trying to do this mostly alone where I need to make every single thing I eat and I’m exhausted.

In on-line forums I’ve seen mounted defenses of cis-het white men when those of us who aren’t bring up ?s and criticisms. These men have often expressed their anger in the present & past in unhealthy ways. Some are (former) military. I think abt the way masculinities are playing out in 2025.
