Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.
CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

“8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

The girl's death underscores the crisis precipitated by large groups of families seeking asylum where there are inadequate facilities to detain them.

I wrote this curse in 2018 during Occupy 🧊 in Portland, Oregon.

The image is printable and shareable.

Aim the spell toward a person or leaders of an institution.
Speak the words: “I curse you with justice, and with so much compassion your heart cracks wide open.”
Repeat as many times as feels necessary.

Wash your hands. Take a breath. Become willing to take on justice and compassion for yourself.
Hold the symbol of the triangle and cracking heart in your mind.
(Or draw it on a wall. Staple it to a utility pole. Trace it in the air.)

Once again, it is time to level curses at the hoarders of wealth, the architects of brutality, and the stealers of families, innocence, and dreams...

The Oceti Sakowin (Dakota and Lakota people) have just established a tipi camp at Mni Owe Sni/Coldwater Spring, directly across from the Whipple Building.

The oracle card of the week: the 3 of Crystals. What helps you slow down?

Scroll up for thread.

(And thank you to everyone organizing against these detention centers/internment camps in your communities)
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

There’s “no ethical consumption under capitalism,” & we all must make hard choices, daily.
I was an early adopter of Substack, my readers loved it, & it became an income stream.

I quit 2+ yrs ago when @marisakabas.bsky.social organized Substackers Against Nazis even though it hurt my business.

Our love and fierce rage makes a community
Richer than all the billionaires combined.
To call upon the words of the queer poet,
We are an army of lovers,
And we shall not fail.

Here on the streets and sidewalks
A broken twig forms the rune for wealth.
Here on the streets and sidewalks
We are each other’s wealth.

“If your freedom causes more oppression, you’re not free.” — Tinu Abayomi-Paul

Tinu died because of systems that do not care for Black, disabled women. A believer in freedom, she never stopped helping others until the day she died.

The Crespo family was seized in a parking lot by agents in Portland OR as the parents arrived at urgent care seeking medical attention for their 7yo daughter Diana.

The Crespos have pending asylum applications and both have legal work permits.
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Did you know Suleikha also wrote an antifascist romantic suspense shifter series where (unnamed) Cynthia Nixon became governor of NY?
She did! It’s called Third Shift and you can buy it.
