yesterday while on foot patrol I saw some eyes looking at me from under a bench. I investigated and found a Gilmore Girls vinyl and I posted a joke in a signal chat and someone checked it out, determined it was a dumped stolen package, and got it to the address.

so uh yeah I think we keep us safe

“my right to swing my fist ends at your nose”

“reasonable enough”

“i believe in the healing power of drinking urine and i’ve been pooping in the ground water”

“hey that last part actually affects me so you need to stop”

“incorrect, i have already determined you have not been negatively affected”

bonus: you get to watch/patrol while you’re doing it - ICE is still around and we have to stay vigilant

This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained.

She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families.

She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/

tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day.

my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.

ah yes the heart of powderhorn park where neighbors of all stripes gather to vote, swim, and play 👍
This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/
