everything you are afraid of is already happening to your unhoused neighbors. has been happening to your unhoused neighbors. mob violence, deportation, being rounded up and herded into camps… it’s been happening. are you ready to organize for and with unhoused people?

Strangely, it's moments like this that I feel most lucky to be queer. I think about our elders. How hopeless they must have felt. How easy it would have been to give up. But they fought for the life I get to live today. What an insult it would be, to them, to succumb to despair

anyway one thing we can keep doing is actively trying to build the world we want, with each other and for each other. that option is never gone, the roadblocks just shift. your community is the same one you woke up with yesterday

[kendra @kendramorous]

lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.

We all watched Israel burn Sha'ban alive while he was attached to an IV. His brother just succumbed to his injuries too but we can still save his sisters. Please boost.

When I say I am an abolitionist, I mean I am invested in building systems of robust & imaginative mental healthcare, education, living wages, housing, rent control, affordable food—a society so dynamic in care that renders prisons & police obsolete.

No bank executives arrested for laundering $670,000,000 in drug cartel money. But jump a turnstile and get arrested or shot for $2.90.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Just a reminder that Native Americans are not a historical people, that we are still here, and that the biggest injustice in U.S. history—the dispossession of land from Indigenous nations largely by fraudulent treaties—remains ongoing

there are lots of people in Atlanta under a boil water advisory after a water main break. they can’t go outside to buy water because of the chlorine gas in the air from a chemical plant explosion. some won’t hear any of this news because they still have no power from the storm.

Look no further than your backyard.

White Earth Nation is currently seeking land back from Minnesota via a state forest.

“Once [Natives] get a little bit [of land back], they’re just going to keep taking and taking.”

The reason why the state of Missouri is willing to execute an innocent man is because otherwise they’d have to pay him a settlement for the wrongful imprisonment and then spend a ton of money re examining all those cases that prosecutor touched.

[queer as in 🔻🪂 @faghouse90]

let this be a lesson: the tried tactics won't work.

instead of 1M+ signatures, 1,000 ppl and cars blockading the prison; instead of a 10k person march, 100 different 100-person direct actions

it's time to shut it all down, literally. what more can be said?

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

The NYPD spent $150 Million *extra* last year to catch people who weren't able to afford to pay the subway fare. They owed just $104,000.

$150 million could buy free fares (at going rate) for 95,000 poor New Yorkers per year.

Instead four people shot, including an officer.

As the school year is just about to begin, Columbia SJP has been permanently banned from Instagram. Our account was permanently deleted at 124k followers at the same time as our backup account, and when we made a new page it was deleted within 2 days.

The sheriff featured by Democrats last night is same sheriff we recently sued over taking cash from private equity-owned telecom companies to eliminate the ability of children to visit their parents in jail, on the theory that families would spend more money on monopoly calls.
