Hey all - Aji and Wings desperately need sales to make it through the end of the year, so I'm going to thread some of @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social 's posts of their jewelry here. The most reliable way to purchase is to email Aji at ndnsilverbywings (at) gmail (dot) com. All of these are handmade.
The federal government and the general populace didn't start taking AIDS seriously until babies and young kids with hemophilia got it from blood banks that weren't screening for it because testing was "too expensive".

He’s lied in court under oath multiple times. Just the perjury charges alone would do the job.
I think it is important that Greg Bovino, personally, is prosecuted for what he has done and continues to do in service of all of this
Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

If this is what they do when they're out on the street with people pointing cameras at them, what do you think is happening inside the ICE prison camps that they keep denying Members of Congress access to?

As someone who has been in negotiations with Schumer: YOUR CALLS TO HIS OFFICE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER NOW. You are not wasting your time, our goal is achievable, but Schumer requires constant pressure, constant pressure....

Less important note: I may turn the drawing into a sticker and double down on proceeds donated opportunities. The sticker won't be in-hand for a minute though.

as a parent I cannot imagine how absolutely fucking heartbreaking and awful it must be to have to put out a statement like this because the federal government killed your son and is telling monstrous lies about him
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."

Another thing I learned in the town hall is that the events in Minneapolis are being well-documented because of the thousands of people who trained to become legal observers after the murder of George Floyd
We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

Not that we don’t protest too — we do — but Renee Good and Alex Pretti (and those who witnessed and documented their executions) were legally observing ICE kidnappings and alerting their neighbors to ICE presence. It’s not a protest, it’s a public service. It’s how we’re protecting our neighbors.

John Brown died in 1859 after failing to incite a slave rebellion
In 1861, Julia Ward Howe would hear Union soldiers singing "John Brown's Body" and adapted their song into "Battle Hymn of the Republic"
John Brown has no idea that even 167 years later, his bravery and humanity are still celebrated

It can be a hard pill to swallow but you have to accept that while you will prevail in this struggle, you may not be there to witness it.
Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
