My dear friend is living outside and Maine cold weather is here.

Can you help us get her housed for the next week? She is working tirelessly to find housing with her voucher. We just need to keep her alive another week to keep fighting.

The shelter is not an option for trans disabled people.
MUTUAL AID FOR DISABLED COUPLE Naomi and Amy need $500 to secure housing for this upcoming week. Both have been sleeping outside for over a year. With Maine temps dipping below freezing, they are fighting to survive. They have found a motel that will allow them to stay for an entire week. Naomi is a seasoned abolitionist organizer, Black trans woman, disabled, and an incredible friend. Her partner, Amy has suffered from multiple strokes and is disabled.

Nikki Giovanni came to my evangelical college my freshman year, making fun of us all through her talk, and inviting us into a new way of thinking. I'll be forever thankful for her invitation and works of love.
Love Is Some people forget that love is tucking you in and kissing you "Good night" no matter how young or old you are Some people don't remember that love is listening and laughing and asking questions no matter what your age Few recognize that love is commitment responsibility unless no fun at all Love is You and me Housecleaning i always liked house cleaning even as a child i dug straightening the cabinets putting new paper on the shelves washing the refrigerator inside out and unfortunately this habit has carried over and i find i must remove you from my life

We've got so much to learn from Clara Fraser.

"The family values brouhaha is a depraved and insulating attempt to deflect our attention from the basic problems of the world economy into the usual scapegoat suspects. Don't let this happen!"
Photographs of Clara Fraser giving May Day speeches and job training program Photo of text that's says: Revenge of the Dykes, Choicers, Witches, Ghettoites and Single/Working/Welfare Moms 1992 Any time some unctuous hypocrite pontificates about the absolute morality of the traditional family, reach for your pocketbook, look around for lurking fascists in government, and cling like mad to your personal integrity. Male politicians, dutifully echoed by wife-robots, are trying to make you, the victims of their horrible anarchy, into the reason for economic disaster and social dysfunction. How dare they! How dare these extollers of a system that starves and exploits and crucifies untold billions blame the underpaid and the destitute for the poverty, miserable education and training, crime, dope, cynicism, domestic turmoil, and rejection of obsolete middleclass values that the profit system itself generates? The sinister self-righteousness flown under the "family values" banner at the '92 Republican convention powered a Photograph of text that says; capitalist state needs women to be subordinate; taken to its type of taily to perpetuato the subordinate; taken to its outer limits, this means kinder, kirche, küche-"children, church, kitchen" —the slogan of Hitler, the Quayles, shorthaired preachers, and, I fear, the muzzled Hillary. So anybody who thinks that the Democrats are going to vanquish the New Nazis is suicidally naive. The U.S. today is Weimar Germany after World War I, facing the same choice between fascism and socialism. And the U.S. today will set the pace for the rest of the world —Germany, Japan, France-in deciding what to do about Hitler's heirs. That is why militant activism by anti-fascists is vital. Feminists, people of color, lesbians and gays, all workers: wake up! Social revolution is the only viable alternative to the concentration camps-and the only answer to vanishing jobs. With a technology geared to produce goods without producing jobs, high-tech capitalism is becoming an oxymoron, a contradiction in terms. Socialism is computers plus justice. The global order of competitive trade and multi-currencies is absurd. It cries out to be replaced with production for use, not for greed, so as to eliminate the endless wars and hatreds spawned by dwindling markets and poverty. A rational analysis for the mess can provide a rational solution-but never while the reason for the worldwide crisis is massively attributed to women, gays, ethnics, and unions. The family values brouhaha is a depraved and insulting attempt to deflect our attention from the basic problems of the world economy onto the usual scapegoat suspects. Don't let this happen! Give the looters-with-license hell. Tell 'em to take their bourgeois values and shove 'em. And once we have created a revolution in the way we deal with wealth, this proper Jewish mother promises you that family values will take care of themselves. As always.

this election is moving every centrist dem so much more to the right
Screenshot of an article from the Portland Press Herald that says "We've got to talk about pocketbook issues and get over identity politics - that's in the past, I think - and get rid of buzzwords," she said. Mills said Democrats are portrayed as being for "transgender this and that, every multicultural person," which creates the perception that they are "forgetting a whole bunch of other people who don't view themselves falling into that pigeonhole."
