Hello new followers! I'm your auntie who likes to remind you that you are enough.
I swear, I knit, I read and write romance and read almost anything, I am chronically ill. I post about anything and everything and fangirl over BTS and many other kpop groups. Kindness matters. Remember that.

I really need people who see this to ask themselves what good reform is going to do. Another law on the books? A constitutional amendment?
What does that matter when the people in charge of the agency are hyping them up and telling them to do violence and that they are inherently immune if they do?

We should not fund DHS without serious reform. We could return CBP to border. We could require warrants for immigration arrests. We could beef up training and require identification.
The list of possible reforms is long. What's unacceptable is the current lawless status quo.

there are days my heart breaks and reading that woman's statement, knowing she's terrified to go home, knowing we can't tell her that she's wrong to be terrified...
I believe we are going to win.
I will hate them forever for making us fight.

I'm going to go stand out in the cold and light a candle for those we've lost today, last week, last year, since white people first stepped foot on this continent. So much loss. So much collective pain. A candle isn't enough but in this moment it's what I have.

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank!

So jist for people who seem confused or newish
An agitator is someone who is pushing for violence, and it's often phrased as 'you oughta' or '"we" oughta' but they're never the ones. They're just trying to rile up others.
It doesn't mean your friend who's having a meltdown, there you reach out.

You should also always block agitators.

I'm holding you close even as my own heart cries in an eternal scream. I am walking with you even as my legs collapse from the weight of my tears. And I am demanding of the divine for more better angels than hateful hearts. I am holding you close cuz steel-laced compassion and solidarity must win.

JANUARY UPDATE: This month’s housing update is short. I don’t really know what to say and I’m not sure if it’s because it’s difficult to think when it’s so cold or all the other intense things going on in the world. I hope you are all having as kind a January as possible. gofund.me/9afb38a92

I'm not seeing alt text showing up, so FYI, it's a picture of a marcher in Minneapolis with a sign: "For those who believe in 'Paid Agitators': You couldn't pay me to be out in this weather. But for our neighbors, we'll freeze for free!"

Time for everyone paying attention to Minnesota's General Strike to read up on Aquatennial & Bloody Friday - Minneapolis
The last general strike in Minneapolis was in 1934.
It started in May, leading to a series of small battles between strikers and police. The two sides agreed to a contract on May 25.
Employers reneged in July, and police opened fire on protesters who flooded the streets. Two died, 67 were wounded.
