At a time when President Trump is going after foreign laborers in the U.S, and saying unflattering accounts of U.S. history should be removed, Rock Springs, Wyoming has put up a new monument to ethnic violence there.

A friend is going through some rough times, signal boosting or chipping in as able would be brilliant. We (Grump's friends) will be figuring out some incentives and other ways to help too.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Per my last reposts: Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights is doing a lot in the Chicagoland area & can help people there support their neighbors with money, time, or skill. Other ideas here truthout.org/audio/raids-...

Raids, Retaliation, and Radical Solidarity in Chicago

“History shows us that repression always breeds resistance," says Chicago organizer Miguel Alvelo Rivera.

Friday morning reminder that there is lots of back-of-house stuff--coordinated & not, though coordinated is more efficient usually--that you can do to keep the warriors alive & well, make their work smoother, hold up people they'd usually support but can't right now, etc.

Protest discourse has dominated the last couple days but resisting fascism can also look somewhat mundane rather than flashy. Making a different hire. Buying a meal for a homeless person. Sending $20 a month to a bail fund, an abortion fund. Stuff that helps the lives of people most targeted MOVING.
