Starting up a DNA testing company.

People sign up, pay, and get sent a DNA testing kit to send back.

I get the kit, burn it, and then send them back a letter saying "Don't send your DNA to random companies what the fuck is the matter with you. Keeping your money btw"

ICE is WHIPPING through my suburban neighborhoods — not uncommon to see them going 50 mph — race through red lights, veer across multiple lanes to get to off ramps, no blinkers. They’re going to hurt or kill someone (else)
One detail about the MPLS ICE invasion that I haven't seen many comment on: these goons drive like maniacs and they're eventually going to run someone over. They speed, run red lights every chance they get, and because they don't know the roads, they're constantly going the wrong way down one-ways.

If we can raise $682 this weekend, I can start next week with rent paid. That would be such a huge relief!

We still have $2182 left to reach the full goal, but that last $682 to pay rent weighs heaviest on my heart and mind.

If you can share this, that would be a big help. Thank you all so much!
Good news, y'all! I start a new job in early January! Yay! Beyond relieved at the prospect of a regular paycheck again.

The bad news, I won't get a full paycheck until the end of January when February's bills are already due.

Help? 💜 Thank you, friends.

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea.

This should not be a difficult concept.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hey all,
I have abt 30 families in South Minneapolis who need grocery support. I’m hoping to raise $3000 to do a big Costco run, but I don’t have Venmo & I don’t have the ability to float it on my credit card. You can verify this need w/ @jchavezmpls.bsky.social. Please let me know if you have ideas

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

a lot of people think the cops should be allowed to shoot you dead if you disrespect them. No word on what you should be allowed to do when the cops disrespect you.

The US Army published a white paper a few years ago about how they would occupy Mexico City. The conclusion was that they had no idea how to do that. Granted, that's a huge population, but no more than the greater Los Angeles area. They don't have the people, and basically can't have enough.
Did I say we’re incredibly hard to govern centrally? Sorry, I should have said “fucking impossible”

They don’t have the people or the material resources to occupy more than one or two cities at a time. National martial law would be very hard to maintain for any significant length of time if at all

No. Fed. Posting.

Seriously.

Incidentally if there’s a guy a little too excited to hurt people in your orbit, he’s either a fed or a liability. Block him.

They use "civility" as a weapon against us. Because they'll say stuff like, "while what happened was a clearly tragedy, there's no call for that kind of language about it."

An elected official saying "fuck" is not worthy of equal debate with a murder by "law" enforcement.

That's oppressor shit.
People out there annoyed at politicians saying “fuck” should spend a little more time fighting fascism and a lot less time policing the usage of a word you can hear in a PG-13 movie.

Too many people are trying to differentiate between ICE and police.

I will hold your hand as I say this:

Police in the US treat marginalized people the way ICE treats everyone. They're far more similar than you want to admit.

Defunding the police and abolishing ICE are the same fight.
