People are struggling. I want us to think about how we're going to help each other hang in there this winter. How are you going to support your friends, co-strugglers, and community as they push through this moment? How can you help people muddle through, materially and/or emotionally?

"Amid the war, the rubble, and the harsh life imposed on the Gaza Strip, young people like Al-Madhoun have turned to the things that remind them of their humanity, and that they were made to be creative, not to die."
Young creatives in Gaza are still singing, drawing, & dreaming, writes Ghada Abu Muaileq. Some use their artistic talents to soften the darkness of reality, some use them to portray that reality & others try to reclaim the passion that the genocide has stolen from them.

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

The federal blitz moved to Charlotte, but the trauma and damage in Chicago are still with us—and DHS says 1,000 agents will hit our streets in March. I wrote about what this moment demands of us: care, clarity, and preparation.
