“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Over £9million raised so far in this 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity' to do something truly meaningful for nature on a really large scale. It's absolutely doable. Can you help?

It’s crazy to me that Valve continues to refuse to acknowledge John Freeman, who was Gordon Freeman’s brother. With his brother’s help, John Freeman was able to stop the Enemy and bring freedom to all hummens. Gabe Newell is a coward.

🚨Azine had to take extra meds since she couldn't get the pollution off her stuff w/o water. She's running out of multiple essential meds, one of which comes with potentially lethal withdrawal. And she could still be kicked out at any moment.

Azine's informal free housing arrangement is about to end abruptly. We don't know when; it could be at any time. We need to raise money to get her into an Airbnb as quickly as we can manage.

We don't have the resources for long-term solutions, so I'm just keeping her alive as long as I can.
ID: A pond with a duck trailing ducklings on the water & a fox on the shore. Surrounding the lake is a forest of evergreen trees and a snowy landscape. The words are in white with black borders. Transcript: Azine's Story Azine travels the world to meet people dear to her. That is her reason for living, as she doesnt know how much time she has left. This goes for everyone, especially with how the world is today. Goes extra for her because of heart-lung disease from birth + a series of embolisms in 2016. Embolisms are kept at bay by medication, due to having had more than one. Dystonia and seizures, were made worse by Lyme disease (tick bite 2009). MCAS, probably from birth, is made a lot worse by environmental toxins. She takes 4 antihistamines including compounded ketotifen (expensive) in very high doses to keep her skin from peeling off & to keep limited food down. "I dont have access to health insurance, even though that is mandatory where I was born.Because people with Lyme and ME/CFS are routinely denied healthcare, persecuted, and jailed in psychiatric hospitals. That is why I became a traveler/refugee. That is why my mom, who still lives there, is deep in debt. Because there was never gov. support or funding for me, not even welfare." I've done all I can out of my own resources. We need your help. Please, boost & share her story, & if you can afford to, donate any amount* you can spare to her mom's PayPal: MadeleineWedemeijer@gmail.com *Literally $1 helps. Fundraisers with more activity, regardless of the size of the donations, are more successful overall as it motivates people to pitch in. And if you include an encouraging message in the memo line, you'll help to lift the severely flagging spirits of all those involved.

Israeli forces killed 11 members of the Abu Shaaban family in Gaza on Friday—the deadliest single violation of the fragile ceasefire since it took effect eight days ago. This is what 'ceasefire' means under necropolitics.

This is. And thou art. There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.

Watching Piers Morgan drag out the “what is a woman” question with Zack Polanski and using it to try and diminish Polanski and then reminded that Morgan’s allyship to women stretches all the way to calling Mohammed Al Fayed “a bit of a rascal”

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Could still really use your support. I'm still paying the bills for this, the hospital bill alone decimated most of what I got from the GFM and the med cost and therapy cost are genuinely crushing me. If you wanted to throw in it would help a lot.
