Screenshot of text that says: I'm a single disabled mom of four. I have uterine fibroids that causes excessive bleeding and fatigue, POTs and PTSD from Covid turning into long covid and causing my health problems. I was working two jobs prior to not working until it caught up to me and I ended up in the ER with a heart rate that wouldn't slow down until I had to take medication. I have been trying to get on disability since. A year later I started to caretake for my disabled child by myself as well. I had help previously but it wasn't working out and l've had to do a lot of it on my own, now I'm stuck in a situation where working isn't possible for my health and while I'm already caretaking for my disabled child that needs constant care. I did not ever envision this happening to me and have always worked hard to take care of my family but now I'm in what feels like an impossible situation trying my best to take care of my kids and myself so I can stay around for them as long as possible. Im not enjoying coming online asking for help but I have no where else to turn. I'm doing

Screenshot of text that says: have no where else to turn. I'm doing everything I can to get help but it's not enough to survive off of. I'm sadly the only responsible parent and have limited family that all live too far to help. I live in California which is a bit expensive but with the state of America right now I'm trying to stay where my trans child and disabled child are the safest. Any help is appreciated and keeps my kids and I surviving while waiting on disability or other options I'm pursuing to happen. I don't know what the future holds but as a mother I'm doing everything I can to keep my family together, healthy and happy. Even if it means coming online and begging for that help. Thank you if you read.
Please boost if you're able. The chances someone who can help sees my post greatly increases with more eyes. Lots of love

The Air Force has launched a massive investigation into cancer cases and the environment at three intercontinental ballistic missile bases and a California launch facility. The goal is to complete the research by the end of 2025.

Nuclear missile workers are contracting cancer. They blame the bases

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

We MUST keep folks fed, medicated & housed. Saving one another is the MOST important goal.

Don't let folks be unhoused & unfed when fascists are scooping us off the streets to dispose of for profit!

Mutual Aid IS community! The sooner folks figure that out the better off we'll be. 💜🙏

Honestly, everyone who considers themself a leftist should be part of the mutual aid community. Whether you're giving, boosting, or making sure an emergency doesn't have a chance to turn into an eviction.

The more comfortable everyone is with shared needs the better off we all are. #MutualAid

♿🏳️‍⚧️ Wylder needs HELP @wylder.bsky.social · Feb 21

The stronger the mutual aid community gets the better off we all are. Adding another person in need doesn't weaken us, it spreads our reach.

Administration officials pile lie upon lie upon lie. When a president and his aides are doing that, it’s no longer America.

When masked government thugs take potshots at a priest, it’s no longer America.

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

The courts have ruled repeatedly that we have the RIGHT to record public officials in their duties..WHY..so they don't do shit like this. Keep on recording and posting all their illegal bullshit. As far as distance..that one was bullshit.

www.npr.org/2024/08/10/n...

When police say 'stand back,' these states say how far

Some states have passed minimum distance rules for when first responders warn the public to stay back. Journalism organizations say it's really about discouraging bystander video

Trump is freezing $350 million in education grants for Minority-Serving Institutions, including $250 million for Hispanic-Serving Institutions. The move puts federal funding at risk for over 600 colleges serving 1.5 million Hispanic students, according to an ethnic studies scholar.

Trump is cutting funding to universities with large Hispanic student populations – here’s what to know

Hispanic-Serving Institutions enroll over 60% of all Hispanic undergraduates in the US and include large schools like Florida International University.
