If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20.

Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

For those of you who have been looking into that very bizarre/dangerous “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” website, I’ve got a piece coming in a couple hours that raises a whole lot of questions about who might be behind it and who they might be connected to.

Hi! Stop telling protestors to RSVP for your events.

Why are you still telling people to RSVP to things when Trump wants to ship off "home-growns" to concentration camps? Read the vibes, buddy.

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

The vast majority of these things are stuff you'd get a citation for, but the feds are using them to harass people and bump up their arrest numbers to give the appearance of effectiveness.

With all the feds and MPD around, we've been wondering... Where in the World is Jason Bagshaw? Has anyone spotted him lately?

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego edited to put Jason Bagshaw, a corrupt and violent DC police officer, in the middle with Carmen's hat. The background is a map of the world.
