Folks – there are several families who do not have individual GoFundMe fundraisers set up, and so they may be relying heavily on the funds raised by the local school PAC. There are a few independent links for specific children and/or their families, and Johnny Malcom Foundation has the list:

"Genaro" is pruning grape vines in Fresno county, CA. "We are paid 32 cents per vine. We start early in morning around 6:30am when it is very cold and finish for the day at 5:30pm." #WeFeedYou

Nora Rose Hendrix was a pillar of Vancouver's Hogan's Alley. She built the community, and worked tirelessly to save it from demolition by the City of Vancouver. Her grandson Jimi was also a pretty damn good guitar player. This is the story of Nora Hendrix! 🧵 1/11

Not that I’m ~*going through it*~ or anything, but currently watching the replay of free dance from the Olympics and crying semi-uncontrollably

This is just awful

In 1793, Chloe Cooley, an enslaved woman in Upper Canada, was beat, tied up and forcefully taken across the border to be sold in the United States. The incident led to the first legislation in the British Colonies to restrict the slave trade. This is the story. 🧵 1/9

On this day in 1960, four weeks before the Little Rock Central High School graduation, a bomb exploded at the home of Carlotta Walls. She was the youngest of the nine Black students—known as the Little Rock Nine--who integrated the school in 1957.

These farm workers are preparing for the strawberry harvest. They're weeding & removing the runners (leafless stems) that can steal nutrients from the plants. This step will also make it easier for workers to move efficiently and harvest more during the harvest season. #WeFeedYou

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

#BadBunny's performers continued to dance and party outside the stadium after the #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow

the bushes were people 😂

You're laughing? The team that lends their plane for deportation flights and whose owner is best pals with Trump got utterly humiliated in front of a hundred million viewers, and you're laughing?

On this day in 1968, white state troopers fired into a mostly African American crowd on the campus of South Carolina State College, a historically Black college in Orangeburg, and killed three young Black men.

Talked with a friend yesterday who was down from Minneapolis for a few days and she emphasized the huge amount of unseen, unglamorous work and security behind the scenes, which all activists know is what enables the visible work. She's part of an amazing network. Minneapolis is the best of us.

lol according to the state of Florida I majored in Woke-ology

On this day in 1902, a white mob seized Thomas Brown, a 19-year-old Black man, from a jail cell and lynched him on the lawn of the Jessamine County Courthouse in Nicholasville, Kentucky.

"Fernando" is hard at work tying the stakes in place used for harvesting blackberries. This process helps keep the plants at a reasonable distance from each other vand provides enough space for the plants to produce as much fruit as possible. #WeFeedYou

On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.

"Iliana" has been working in the strawberry fields in Watsonville, CA for the last 16 years. "She and her coworkers are currently planting strawberries. "I get very tired because I have to bend over all day long to do this type of work. But it feeds my family." #WeFeedYou

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.

"Gustavo" is harvesting lemons in Fresno CA. They earn $45 per bin. "It takes an average worker around 3 hrs to fill a 900lb bin as we work carefully to avoid getting pricked by the many big thorns. In our 7-hour work day, we usually manage to fill two bins." #WeFeedYou

Can confirm. Nothing has changed on the ground. ICE still attacking people, kidnapping, all that stuff—and the city is still out protecting and helping neighbors

Watching the film A Mighty Wind in honour of Catherine O’Hara and weeping like a baby

This is so sad.

On this day in 1956, in Montgomery, Alabama, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s home was bombed while his wife Coretta, seven-week-old daughter, and a neighbor were inside.

My 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents. “We’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said. I started sobbing uncontrollably.

Workers in the Moss Landing area are planting strawberry roots. These plants could begin bearing fruit in March. The workers have to crouch down almost all day long and share, the work is exhausting. #WeFeedYou

There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.

San Jose as a city doesn’t deserve to have a hockey team

Genuinely impressed and delighted by the people of Rock Springs who showed up

It seems that Tom Homan’s shift to a more humane approach is just ICE agents targeting local schools. Reports of parents getting abducted outside of schools, agents entering schools, hanging out around children’s bus stops.

YESSSSSSSSS

“We’re very happy for this union contract. We now have somebody who can represent us. We’re happy for this increase, but more so, we are happy for the recall rights.” Read about the latest UFW victory for farm workers in New York: jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lead...

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

Lol. Lmao even. Get rekt, hag

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

"Juan" is pruning grape vines in Fresno County. "After we finish our row, we go back to pick up any branches and do a quick clean up. The branches for these grape vines are cut completely off as these are the ones that will be machine picked. We earn 24 cents/vine." #WeFeedYou

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

On a cold and sunny Arvin CA day, "Ernesto" is working in a field of bok choy. He is carefully cutting and filling up boxes, placing the last vegetables into his final box before taking a break for lunch. #WeFeedYou

Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing. While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/
