Hi! I’m Lauren. I have a very important and perfect dog named Pan, I’m a writer (graphic novels, CNF, fiction), and I’m starting a Masters in Creative Writing at the University of Cambridge in the fall. Big astrology/mythology nerd and I make linocut prints for fun.

This kind of gross Zionism from the BM is how the past becomes a weapon of genocide… www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
It’s disgusting and ahistorical - not surprising from a colonial warehouse of stolen loot - and will show for the rest of time what genocidal complicity looks like.

The British establishment ever ready to prop up the ailing Zionist project. This latest speculative gambit by UKLF* needs to be challenged head on.

Having an “oh no” moment during this writing for performance module where I’m so enjoying writing screenplays and miss the collaborative aspects of being in film/television but I also know exactly how shit it is trying to break into that industry and it’s worse now than it was when I was in it!

Read this til the end. Note the very last speech recorded here. No loose reference to “Nazis” but a very specific reference to them: ICE bought a building the size of seven football fields in Surprise, Arizona, outside Phoenix, for $70 million.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

I'm reiterating what other Minnesotans are saying: no matter what the news is reporting, nothing has tangibly changed on the ground. ICE is still out patrolling the streets, they're still looking for people to abduct, and they're still threatening observers. Do not let up the pressure.

[NEW) Minneapolis is showing us how it's done. Over the past few weeks, I've received questions about how to adapt the Social Change Map for emerging efforts. I put together a short planner that can support folks in:
facilitating meetings
identifying roles
evaluating growth

dont let a few ICE agents leaving mn fool you. nothing on the ground has changed yet. this is a way for them to distract and give a scapegoat so the rest of the world will turn a blind eye.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

CNN is seeking to actively normalize the federal government publicly executing you & your neighbors in the street for holding a phone.
ICE executed Alex Pretti. Anything else you’re told is a lie.
UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

feel like people hear 'chronic fatigue' and they think like 'chronically feeling drowsy' or 'chronic illusion of feeling sleepy when youre not actually sleepy' instead of your body genuinely doesnt have any energy to split up between all its tasks like walking around, digesting food, etc

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:
