SCOTUS has announced it will review a Hawaii law that forbids gun owners from bringing firearms on private property without the property owner’s explicit permission.

If it falls, the court could make it harder for states and cities to keep guns out of everyday life. trib.al/XP9fwpZ

The Supreme Court Could Make It Easier to Bring a Gun Everywhere

The justices just took up a challenge to a Hawaii law that bars people from carrying guns on private property against the owner’s wishes.

Final two hours 🚨 You either click/share this or you don’t. But our responsibility to Palestinian life will persist—forever.

This isn’t about guilt. It’s about whether humanity shuts the door once we’re sated by “good news” or we continue onwards.

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.

If you have a library you can run for the board of, do it!

Otherwise you end up with a list of corporate interests being represented like we have in Philly.

(Ours are either voted in by the board or appointed by the mayor so they're all representatives of local power)

LIBRARY BOARDS
Pursue a seat on your local public library board. Your board may be elected, or it may be appointed. Need help finding details about your local board? For the People: A Leftist Library Project has you covered: data.librariesforthepeople.org

I bought art today from an extremely talented friend & local artist. And instantly felt better. Art, music, reading, crafts & fiber arts, metalwork, gardening, design, dance, so many beautiful interests, hobbies & gifts we can share with one another. It restores your soul a bit.

I have only about 200 of this which leaves about 3.1k and need to knock as much of this out before court on the 16th so I don't lose my housing.

Okay somewhat decent news.
I actually only owe 3.3k in total and they said they're going to let the courts know I've made payments and we will reach on some kind of payment plan.
So still urgent but slightly less urgent

I'm here to once again say that convenings and gatherings are going to be extremely important for people to organize in the coming years. If that's part of your skill-set, put those skills to use.

11 hours left ⚠️ I can’t physically type out 24 hourly posts per day because of my degenerative arthritis but I’ll do it if it means folks will understand that the genocide continues until the last uncertainty about a meal, shelter, medicine, education vanishes. That did not happen this week.

The IRS is laying off people during the shutdown, even though it was rehiring staff it previously fired because it was so shorthanded.
This one stands out because firing IRS employees costs the government money, since they bring in about $6-8 for every dollar spent on tax enforcement

IRS Halts Layoff Plans, Begins Rehiring Amid Staffing Shortages
The agency is attempting to rebuild its workforce and restore public confidence.

Treasury Department: Treasury cut 1,446 employees on Friday. Two Internal Revenue Service employees confirmed layoffs were taking place at the tax agency, which has already shed more than 25,000 employees. One employee who was laid off was working Friday and exempt from shutdown furloughs.

I'm so sorry Sean. That's so incredibly hard. I also have aging parents and these are such difficult choices and conversations and decisions.
