I don't want to ever have to come here to tell y'all that Zay has perished due to lack of meds, LC complications and lack of shelter.

It doesn't have to be that way, but it almost happened recently.

Please, who can chip in? Who can amplify often?

Zay has been in and out of the hospital and UCC with LC complications. They have been trying to reach a week or two goal since their hospital discharge to stay housed. 43 would at least cover today due by noon. Any aid is appreciated, including amplifying.

Zay has been in and out of the hospital and urgent care with long cov¡d complications and has been trying to reach a week or two since their hospital discharge to stay sheltered, food, and necessities.

450 weekly rate is the cheapest vs the 80 daily rate. 43 would at least cover today due by noon to remain h0used. Any aid is greatly appreciated, including amplifying.

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

In the West, you can make big bucks justifying genocide, but speaking out against it can cost you your career.

You can't have colonialism without "colon" because colonizers will always f*ck you, and their ultimate purpose is to steal everything from you.

80 years ago Adolf Hitler wiped his bum, and on that toilet paper there was an orange stain.

Now that stain is President of the USA.

I donated some copies of Let This Radicalize You for distribution at an ICE watch training for folks who want to join school patrols in a nearby neighborhood. Not everyone got a copy, because 120 people showed up for that training tonight. I am endlessly proud of Chicago.

A display of copies of Let This Radicalize You on a table in front of a sign that reads: "Let This Radicalize You offers stories, strategy and heart for the kind of collective care and resistance we're building together today. It helps us move from reacting to organizing. Showing how ordinary people protect each other, build power, and keep hope alive. Take a copy. Read it. Stay connected."

The best thing Apple INC is good for is selling you genocide bloodshed phones sprinkled with extra blood and pain from ICE's broken up families. The bad apple doesn't fall far from the ACAB tree.

Donald Trump said he was going to release his healthcare plan to replace the Affordable Care Act in “two weeks,” 159 weeks ago.

Republicans’ only plan for your healthcare is to cut it.

Another day of feeling unwell. Another day at the clinic, getting advice on what I should and shouldn't do about my long-term cov¡d symptoms from unmasked health experts. I don't think I can roll my eyes any longer without them falling out the back of my head.

The Atlantic, the NYT, and so many others also participated in the destruction of public health by repeatedly publishing the lie that COVID is mild, and now an organ- and immune-system damaging airborne virus is running rampant everywhere—w/ no infection control anywhere.

Great work everyone.

The Atlantic, the NYT, the Post, the Free Press, Persuasion ... god, so many others ... they did it. They participated in the destruction of norms against bigotry & now bigotry is running rampant, out in the open, at the highest levels.

Great work everyone.

White boys aren’t the only ones consuming right wing red pill media, it’s a lot of black boys falling into the pipeline too and more parents should give a fuck about it

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

THREAD. Across the U.S., a lot of skilled lawyers, many of whom are well meaning, pose a big threat right now to our society. The legal advice the profession is giving to clients is walking us off a fascist cliff. We as lawyers need to shift our thinking.
