Look for the helpers

Grr. Today, in my sojourn to FB land to manage a Page, I caught a family friend’s indictment of the “injustices of China” both in China and in Canada, in response to the announcement of a trade deal btwn Canada and China. Glaring omission: Canada’s injustices both here and abroad.

These eugenics machines took everything learned about making something (say, an app/game) addicting and applied it to GenAI. We should have put guardrails in place years ago, long before these particular eugenics machines.

LAST NIGHT: Israeli settlers set fire to homes and vehicles and injured Palestinian residents in a Bedouin community near Mukhmas, northeast of Jerusalem, in yet another escalation aimed at ethnically cleansing Palestinians from their land. (1/3)

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...

as it is particularly cold in Minneapolis and we hear scary rumors, I want to highlight a few groups. MIWRC is operating a warming facility to make sure unhoused people are not on the street, especially during the hours traditional shelters are closed. www.miwrc.org/donate

Black women of the Civil Rights Movement are most often remembered in 3 ways: as part of a larger group (the Little Rock Nine); as isolated individuals disconnected from broader political strategy (Rosa Parks); or as wives of male leaders (Coretta S. King). afro.com/claudette-co... We can do better.

Inuit from Alaska and Canada stand with our relatives in Greenland 🇬🇱 Quyana @ayyu210.bsky.social for organizing this video

📚💙 request!!! Please tell me your favorite *fiction* that narrates *Black* life during the Civil Rights Movement era 🙏🏽

Urgent Help Needed! Nasra's son Jawad had to have an emergency appendectomy, Nasra needs help buying medicine, painkillers & healthy food for Jawad. Her fundraiser hasn't seen donations in too long, if you can please donate, at the least share. Verified by Molly Shah. gofund.me/754592a5

Upside: I got to witness a sibling to new sibling stuffy transfer (What's the teddy's name? "Teddy.") Downside: we've had multiple babies already and I have another 10 hours to go and am I in the red. Tonight is a 3 ring baby circus and I could use an emergency parachute if you can help.

Yep! We need to undo the mysteriously deep-seated yet rarely acknowledged immunity to tort liability that software companies enjoy. (Where immunity functions not as immunity but as the very cause of action being somehow unthinkable.)

Anyway, it's 2 degrees out, with a windchill putting it at -15. I didn't wear my gloves from the car to my door - a single city block - and my hands were already turning red. Our unhoused neighbors will die out there tonight. The MN Indian Women's Resource Center needs funds to keep the heat on.

These are things we are in need of, groceries, gas for medical appts., some guinea fresh veggies and cat food for Ollie. I hate that this is our new existence but its the new existence for many others too. The more poor we were a few years ago, we are well below that now. Thank you for sharing 💕

Honestly, I don't give a shit about respect for Denmark," an illegally-occupying colonial force. I DO give a shit about "respect for Greenland," which is an illegally-occupied INDIGENOUS land that needs reparations made and then to be left the fuck alone by every colonizer entity.

Reposting with alt text! This is from the photojournalist who was violently tackled and detained by ICE earlier today.

You don’t have to live vegan to make a better food system You just have to get out of the way and restore Indigenous sovereignty

In addition to my art, if you're in need of a hoodie, blanket, charcuterie board, or more, check my apparel shop at johnniejaedesigns.store

hi party people wondering what kind of know your rights/ice related resources are out there for children specifically. i'm packing whistles and i want to include a zine and red cards but if something already exists i'd love to use that. TY

Native Americans protested in Minneapolis today after the ICE abducted four Oglala Sioux Tribal Members. Three of them are still missing. (1/17|26)

shout out to @ziibiing.com for coordinating, fund raising and supporting Minneapolis from afar {while also being a parent, author, working, and having a whole life.} Native women don't get enough credit for constantly being ground and organizational support. Ashley Fairbanks rocks.

I'm live now!! Let's have some fun chats and watch me play Final Fantasy XIV!! Thank you for the support!! I think I fixed my OBS issues. Sorry for my previous streams having issues. The latest update messed up my settings. twitch.tv/bibiblossoms

There are ways to help Minneapolis even if you don’t live there. Check collection of #MutualAid for people there that have various needs in wake of ICE raids.

It’s been interesting hearing the “local” radio station (it’s actually not that local, it’s a Grande Prairie, Alberta rock station) play Killing In The Name Of several times a week — perhaps even several times a day but we don’t listen that frequently.

PLEASE HELP

My little daughter and I are going through a very difficult situation💔 Hard headache, severe dizziness, and chest pain😩😭 We can no longer feel our bodies😩😩😩 It is also extremely cold here💔 I need any help to provide urgent medicine and warm clothes🙏 tinyurl.com/4un9f9r6 ✅ @mommunism.bsky.social

Urgent Appeal🚨 I am Nema, a mother of three children My children are still living in extremely difficult conditions inside the Tent, severe cold and hunger. Their small bodies cannot endure this. I need 200$ to buy blankets and food for them💔 ✅ Verified By Molly Shah tinyurl.com/SaveNemaFamily

As if we need them stealing more Indigenous babies and really, making anyone giving birth a "parent compancy" test that includes shit like the rorschach/ink blot test to determine if someone can parent. If you fail, they will take your baby. The test is to see if you're "civilized"

Hey Bluesky. This one is urgent. This weekend I’m helping a Native person with disabilities on limited income in Calgary raise funds for their late rent after the holidays. Two grandchildren in the household. They’re short $450 please help through my PayPal/Etransfer [email protected]

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day. I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

It's a shame more white men over 35 aren't yelling at them then. Get to work.

Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

To hope, to heal

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

Are the elected democrats seriously trying to do a victory lap about Minneapolis when they haven’t done shit but continuing to vote for ice and funding the Nazis who executed Renee good in the street do I see that right?

💔 Ibrahim is not just a number in the news… He is a 5-year-old child in pain, waiting for a chance to live. His treatment is possible, but time is running out. Your donation or share could mean the difference between life and death 🙏 🔗 gofund.me/ffd62c2a

With ICE Raids targeting Native communities especially our homeless, #SettlerSaturday is essential for our day-to-day survival. Please go through the tag & try to bring warmth & light back into our world, as it’s truly community care that will save us during these times. Natives, post needs below.

Less than $5k!!! I know we can get this past the goal by the time I wake up!

This trauma is lifelong - tear gas exploded under their vehicle, the air bags deployed, doors locked them in as it filled with chemical weapons. They fought for their lives to get out & give CPR TO THE 6 MONTH OLD BABY WHILE CHOKING ON TEAR GAS THEMSELVES. Please help support their GFM

We’re a community. And communities are made up of different roles. I remind myself that I am out there providing support, shelter, food, and infrastructure and that is enough. I am not lesser than because i’m not physically able to protest.

What on earth!?

They must be SO mad watching Renee Good become the murdered folk hero they wanted Charlie Kirk to be
