Two years ago today, Israel executed Hind Rajab with 335 bullets.
First, they murdered her family.
Then they killed her.
Then they executed the paramedics who tried to save her.
She was only 5 years old.
“I’m so scared, please come. Come take me. Please, will you come?”

I'm looking to talk with Texans who lost a job or otherwise suffered a material loss after being arrested at a protest, esp. if your charges got dropped.
Please DM me if this happened to you!

one giant pile of money is actually not a great way to help people. people choosing a variety of places to give helps keep the money moving. no one org gets flooded to the point of breaking.
a PTA, the mutual aid venmo, can move $ even faster.

This is a must-read, beautiful essay about how important PBS is to kids.
“It was a cultural life vest,” said Lawrence Sonntag, who grew up in Azle, Texas. “It felt like looking at the world’s vibrance and beauty through a straw, but that made it the most important straw.”

“For families like mine in Wichita Falls, Texas, @pbs.org was oxygen,” writes @briangaar.bsky.social . “It was proof that humor could be silly, intellectual, and a little dangerous all at once.

PBS Was a ‘Cultural Life Vest’ for Kids Like Me Before the Internet. The Fight to Keep Public Media Alive Feels Personal.
From late-night “Doctor Who” to “Monty Python,” PBS beamed in the wider world to kids in Texas.

While the Trump administration is forcing the National Park Service to remove mentions of slavery from George Washington’s house, sites like the Legacy Museum in Montgomery continue to tell the story of enslavement in a direct, uncompromised way, making clear the connection between past and present.

Montgomery shows what’s possible when museums aren’t subject to capricious executive orders.

So to keep people in the loop, one of the biggest school districts in the state is closed Tuesday and Wednesday because they need to give teachers time to build hybrid options for families worried about their children getting kidnapped on the way to school by lawless masked armed federal goons.

A wordy update! News of ICE hitting us with a retaliatory audit went kinda viral and we've received a HUGE amount of support. Not only were we extremely busy all weekend, but we also received over $1000 in unsolicited donations.
Friday afternoon, ABC News ran an interview with one of Mischief Toy Store's owners about the store's practice of giving away free whistles. Hours later, ICE agents showed up at their door.
Here's my story (gift link):

Sometimes reading the posts of federal elected officials feels like going to the doctor and having them suggest homeopathic remedies for late stage cancer
The problem was not labeling Trump correctly as a fascist. The problem was not treating him as one. They still aren’t! That creates a gap where you’re warning people that things are on fire, but instead of evacuating or getting water, you’re casually sitting down with a cup of tea.
You want to know why Chuck Schumer is talking about affordability & not Trump being a fascist? It's because we already tried talking about him being a fascist *& everyone ignored us*.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I need people who don’t live in the Twin Cities to stop telling people not to join massive Signal groups right now. People are doing it. They’re going to keep doing it. Give them good advice about it.
The actually practical advice is don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t say in public
