In case you’re ever wondering if there’s a point to calling/emailing your concerns:
“Councilwoman Odette Ramos, the task force chair, said … that she and the mayor’s office had received about 1,000 emails about the proposed move to the Jones Falls Valley.
Of those, two favored the plan.”

Go through and like your MLB teams to have a label placed on your account!
(Orioles Sky, get on this! Let’s really show how much of a presence we have here. Maybe that will help convince the team to start using the account!)

Signal boosting - anyone in Baltimore have need of a turkey?
Does anyone in Baltimore need (or could use) a 20 lb turkey? Because reasons, we have acquired one, and while we can come up with uses for it, it's A Problem for my allergy issues and if someone needs it more, Sarah is happy to deliver anywhere in Baltimore

Big demand for whistles in New Orleans and 3D printing is the fastest/cheapest way to produce them right now. If you can help with printing, DM me. There are volunteers already handling pickups, dropoffs, regular printed materials and bundling. We could just use more people printing.

Thread. Mending, rewearing, buying 2nd hand when possible*, caring for your clothing (appropriate laundering etc.), and avoiding synthetic fabrics are the things that are easiest for the average person to do.
So there's a side conversation about slow fashion and sustainable wages, and I have a lot of thoughts because I went through a period where I was trying to figure out how to get things that would last that were ethically made and also fit me.

NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill.

This is how you create an economy out of carcerality. So that even if the day comes where people admit this is MORALLY wrong, they system cannot be stopped or even disrupted because people depend upon it financially now.

More than half of who ICE targets aren’t undocumented. They’re in various stages of legal residency.
More than a third of who they target are US citizens who were born here.
This isn’t about hiring undocumented labor.
