People gotta fuckin stop doin this. I won't vote for Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom will lose. I'm saying it now so y'all have time to listen, tho you never do. But nah I ain't voting for diet fascism just because he has a D. Candidates have to do what we want to get elected, there's no fealty here.

I got excited recently thinking I had met an activist I could collaborate with on some projects and then he asked me "Do you ever use AI to do zine work?"

Gaza is a wasteland of starvation and destruction, bombs raining from the cold winter sky, hunger dogging every step. Please give what you can to help my friend Sama'a. chuffed.org/project/157569

I guess this influx could be bots... Hey! If you're a bot, share my friend's gofundme. You non-bots should share it too, just in case. gofund.me/f6ecd8bb

hi! i am working with @ziibiing.com today to raise rent funds to help a family keep their housing. this is an urgent need! you may send to my venmo or to the salon’s, which i manage directly. Need: $1718 V: allisonannecollage V: jamesirving $: jamesirvinghair Memo: 🏠 cat tax for morale ♥️♥️♥️

We both thought the 30th was the last day of the month. Boy were we unpleasantly surprised.

First thing my mom said to me this morning: "Today is the last year of January!"

i'm at $105 so far yay!!!! ^_^

i also set up a @chuffedorg.bsky.social fundraiser as another donation option. this is an additional place to donate beyond venmo and cashapp, both options help so much. we have been trying to get mutual aid funds distributed ASAP to help folks in the twin cities pay rent and stay housed. thank you❤️‍🔥

hi crew, here are some updates about mutual aid efforts today! as always, thank you so, so, so much. we're especially working on meeting rent needs for folks right now! shares and reposts help a ton! thank you so much! Venmo: @jamesirving Cashapp: $jamesirvinghair Venmo: @allisonannecollage

Gaza is in ruins, and the winter is unusually brutal. please give what you can to help my friend Sama'a survive. chuffed.org/project/157569

you can help by calling @governorwalz.mn.gov's office at (651) 201-3400 and asking ‬for a rent moratorium now, which has been unanimously supported by the city councils of both minneapolis & saint paul

we're working closely with a bunch of folks as the end of the month approaches and rent is coming due we're gonna continue raising aid, venmo donations especially help us get funds to folks quickly, but i'm gonna start looking into setting up a chuffed page too

hi, here is today’s update, shared with utmost care and respect. sending love and hope to each one of you tonight. i can’t give specific updates for safety reasons but you are making such a huge impact for families here in the twin cities.

You know me I don't share fundraisers unless I can tell you I trust them with my whole heart and my own wallet. This one gets protective gear to legal observers in Minneapolis / Saint Paul www.gofundme.com/f/help-equip...

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

you can turn off autoplay, and i reccomend it

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Turns out all the fear mongering about China spying on your every move through TikTok was projection

Yeah so TikTok announced they are now going to gather information on whether you're trans or not, and it belongs (in part) to major Trump allies. So uhhhhhhhhh you probably wanna delete your TikTok right now if you're transgender

Please donate, this is urgent and a simple way to put your money where your mouth is when it comes to supporting Black queer people. My dear friends need help so they can work their multiple jobs and visit hospitalized family without hemorrhaging money. Donate and share ❤️

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

here's a great way to show up for Minneapolis families sheltering in place! it can be hard to sort through a zillion donation links but this fundraiser is confirmed “verified, urgent, and there’s a secure distribution plan in place” and is also, bonus, tax-deductible gofund.me/3a8673ee3

This is a St. Paul diaper fund to be uplifted if you need another one

Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism. www.jphilll.com/p/the-first-...

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

For people in South Minneapolis, who are being heavily targeted by ICE, Midtown Global Market is remaining open today (individual businesses may be closed) and offering their space for people who need a place to get out of the cold. They are offering free coffee and hot cocoa while supplies last.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Very informative thread ♥️

I'd love to build out my list of BIPOC illustrators interested in book covers or page illustrations!! If anyone is interested (or if you want to rec an artist), please introduce yourself, ideally with some art samples and/or portfolio link!✨ *Absolutely no AI allowed, and please tag any NSFW art!

This is so righteous. Acessible and translated flyers in 5 languages

my pal @everybodylikesliz on instagram made this great resource about tear gas exposure. prints double-sided, 8 to a sheet — she’s made it available via canva: canva.com/design/DAG_FFY_DHQ/ybY-SlBaIUp9xTwIJut9gg/view?utm_content=DAG_FFY_DHQ&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2

anyway here's the little project! i think it's neat, even if i'm a lil sappy :) kck.st/49Yvlxf

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

EVERBODY CONCENTRATE REALLY HARD

napping so much lately I’m gonna change my pronouns to honk/shoo

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

I dreamt of a talking Psyduck that told me "you'll never get your pronouns into me!" ???

Look at this absolute queen
