Art is such an integral form of humanity and communication, is IS humanity and communication..AND resistance. Dont forget that.

paragraph from the quoted article.

"On her first day in the facility, Becky asked for a scrap of paper and a pen, and began to draw the inmates on the table next to her. She was immediately inundated with portrait requests. A Mexican woman called Lopez, who had a photo of her children stored on one of the iPads, told Becky she would buy her some paper and colouring pencils from the commissary if Becky drew her kids. She soon became the dorm’s unofficial artist-in-residence, with women huddling around the dirty mirrors to make themselves look presentable before they sat for her. They would decorate their cells with Becky’s drawings, or send them to their families. Lopez declared herself Becky’s manager. “She kept saying, ‘Becky, you need to ask for stuff in exchange. Ask for popcorn.’ And I’d be like, ‘Lopez, I don’t need anything.’ I thought, I’m here briefly, you’re stuck here a long time. I’m not going to take your food away from you.”"

Chicago's "know your rights" campaign is working and keeping more people out of detention than otherwise. These people can be opposed, can be fought, and can be stopped. So we have to oppose, fight, and stop them.

"Who Is Superman? A Private Interview With Lois Lane" A story about hope and connection ☀️(1/4)

A comic cover for a fan comic. The cover portrays Superman carrying Lois Lane (she is depicted as a Southeast Asian woman in a purple office suit and skirt).

Superman sets Lois down gently as she says, ‘That’s going to take some getting used to.’ The two are far from the city, in a roadside canyon with a view overlooking Metropolis. Standing in front of a fence with Metropolis and a sunset-colored sky in the distance, Superman asks, ‘The flying?’ Pulling something from her pocket, Lois says, ‘Oh, that and everything. Let’s get to it, shall we?’

The item she pulled from her pocket turns out to be a recorder device, which clicks on as she says, ‘This is Lois Lane of the Daily Planet, interviewing the elusive Superman. The date is – nevermind, let’s cut to the chase.’ He looks somewhat surprised as Lois paces around. She says ‘Although some feel that you’ve made your intentions clear to Metropolis through your acts of heroism and good will … others feel that the way you’ve avoided giving an official statement has led to speculation and worry.’

She holds the recorder up to him and asks, ‘So why speak up now, Superman?’ He pauses before responding.

Superman smiles and says, ‘Well … because I’m ready to talk.’

Looking incredulous, Lois asks, ‘Can you explain why you feel “ready” to talk.’

Now floating a few feet off the ground, he replies, ‘I guess … people have always been nosy about me, even before I started flying. Lately it’s like every other day someone’s trying to figure out who I am and how I’m like this.’

He finger guns in her direction and says, ‘Why, you were the most gutsy about investigating me, Ms. Lane. Didn’t you pitch that one theory about my strength being the result of a lab accident—’ She cuts him off- blushing in embarrassment as she says, ‘Okay, listen!’

Via @maketheroadny.bsky.social: If ICE shows up, know your rights.

“ICE does not have the right to enter your home without a valid warrant signed by a judge.”

maketheroadny.org/we-protect-us/

IF ICE SHOWS UP, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!
If immigration (ICE) comes to your door or stops you in the streets, you have rights!
1. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR
ICE does not have the right to enter your home without a valid warrant signed by a judge.
POLICE ICE
?
ICE will not always identify themselves as
ICE. If there is a knock at your door and they say "Police" it could very well be ICE.
ICE will often say they are police to gain access to homes. If at any point they try to enter, or do enter, continue to say
"I DO NOT CONSENT"
If they insist they have a warrant ask them to slip it under the door.
2. REMAIN CALM
Don't run and most importantly do not lie about your name, age, immigration status, etc.
Anything you say or do can be used against you.
If ICE questions you, under the 5th Amendment, you have the right to remain silent and to not incriminate yourself.
If you are detained, ask for an immigration attorney immediately. Although immigration does not provide attorneys, once you ask for an attorney they should no longer question you.
3. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING
Ask to have documents translated. If you do not speak English ask for an interpreter.
Have an attorney look over any documents that ICE gives you.
5. MAKE A FAMILY PLAN
If you have children, identify a caretaker.
4. RECORD
If you witness someone being detained by ICE, you have the right to record as long as you do not interfere with the arrest.
Pictures, videos, and any information you can gather, can help verify an immigration raid and also help someone's immigration case.
Make sure your family is prepared if ICE arrives at your home. Have all your personal documents and finances secure.
Make sure you have at least one number memorized in case of an emergency.
MAKE THE ROAD

Sorry to steal from Tumblr but this is so accurate it actually made me cry. The "paralysis of will" described here is the most painful symptom of my ADHD.

Some individuals with AD/HD, especially without hyperactivity, have an activation problem as described by Thomas Brown, Ph.D. in his article AD/HD without Hyperactivity (1993). Rather than a deficit of attention, this means that individuals can’t deploy attention, direct it, or put it in the right place at the right time. He explains that adults who do not have hyperactivity often have severe difficulty activating enough to start a task and sustaining the energy to complete it. This is especially true for low-interest activities. Often it means that they can’t think of what to do so they might not be able to act at all, or, as Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo say in You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!, they might experience a “paralysis of will” (pg. 65). “The clothes from my trip—a month ago—are just still lying in a heap in the suitcase.” “I spend a lot of time in bed watching TV but my mind isn’t watching TV. I’m thinking about what I should be doing, but I don’t have the energy to do it.”

- Sari Solden, Women With Attention-Deficit Disorder
