✨ And now, for my next trick… ✨

This is the book I was born to write. Growing up with a rare disability, I often felt all alone in the world—until I found the sideshow and the disabled performers who brought it to life.

I can’t wait to share their stories—and mine—with you.

The sentences handed down today are a huge threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years in prison even for those not involved in planning the protest? The evidence of an illegal conspiracy is non-existent, but this is how the authoritarian dragnet targets those fighting against repression. Everyone should be learning about this case. https://t.co/XLki7OBuID

Please read this statement by Benjamin “Champagne” Song and share it as far and as wide as you can!

people who showed up to a protest outside an ICE facility and left when things got chaotic are getting HALF CENTURY sentences in federal court right now, my god

Breaking: The Prairieland concentration camp protesters have been sentenced to over 350 years in prison, cumulatively. Judge Reed O'Connor, who was just added to the case, said he did this to "send a message to anyone who shares similar ideologies".

Since May 22, 300 detained immigrant workers at Delaney Hall in Newark have been on a hunger strike and work stoppage.

“We are also doing this to demand freedom,” one worker said. “We’re not treated like people. We’re treated like animals.”

A court case in Media, PA will decide the fate of 9 individuals, and the outcome could very well affect you down the line. Let’s talk about the Swarthmore 9.
