it's still abolish ICE and borders
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Friends, this relative lost his life due to exposure in the elements last weekend. His family needs support, and this GFM is woefully underfunded.

i had a check-in with library workers in Hennepin County this morning, Hennepin county includes Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs
they were feeling tired and energized at once and something we can do if we don't live there is pump everyone up who is there
morale is so important

Thinking a lot about those worms eating at the rind today.
I am so tired of waiting,
Aren't you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two -
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

you deliberately misinterpret me, like constantly

but not the hundred that I've built

I shall give you a feast

some of this is clarified in maternal theory
positioning care work as the opposite of policing ignores the very real policing that happens inside mutual aid allowing the ideology behind intensive mothering to flourish, reinforcing patriarchal structures

there are some thoughts swimming here but not yet clarified on how it's actually misogyny directing the language of care work which simultaneously does not serve as an interruption of policing
it doesn't even create the options to interrupt policing, it's like a weird parallel play offering

reclassifying police abolition and mutual aid as care and begging for the valuation of that is not where i want to spend my time
i have seen enough spaces that would never publicly call attention to issues by calling police but institute their own social control, treatment as they would say

Every person from a mango growing country thinks mangos from their country are the absolute best and will ride or die for them.
Get a few people from these countries in a room, ask them who has the best mango and then…

one question that has reappeared over the years, really decades, is do we want racial balance in schools and who should manage that choice

This happened just yesterday, so we are still navigating a situation with a bunch of unknowns. Please help if you can. Positive vibes also requested!
Our community-run art gallery flooded. Building management will get the space back into habitable condition, but we lost a bunch of stuff and we're closed for who knows how long.
We're a tiny volunteer org that spends like $20K a year, so a $3,000 emergency is a big problem. Please help us out:
