This is a very small request. If you live in the US please do not purchase any of our videos tomorrow (Fri Jan 30) because there is supposed to be a general strike against ICE.

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.

His health is declining.

Public outrage might save his life.

Say his name:

Demand the Release of Rodney Taylor from ICE Detention

Please share🙏🏾 The low is 6° tonight and I’m homeless. My feet are freezing and I’m so cold it hurts. I’m trying to raise $100 for a room just to get out of the cold and survive the night. I’m trying to save for a home, but right now I just need warmth. Please help or share. ❄️💔 allmylinks.com/ienbean

January 29th. #HelpFolksLive2026 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

Okay, can we get this covered this morning?

They slept in their truck overnight, running the heater periodically to keep warm.

Which is NOT remotely safe. They've raised $90. Another $310 will give them 3 nights in an area AirBnB, until it warms up a little.
Now, tonight's local urgent needs.

God, there are SO MANY. But these two are emergencies, and need to get covered immediately.

First up, the unhoused young couple sleeping in their truck tonight:

Local emergency need!

A young unhoused couple lost their temporary shelter arrangement today. They were planning on trying to sleep in their truck, but it's dangerously cold at night right now.

Can we raise $400 for 3 nights for them in an AirBnB?

My philosophy is to vote as if it can save us while preparing for the growing possibility that it will not. Giving up hope this early just doesn't seem like the right strategy to me.

One of my new year's resolutions is to practice sketching. Not because I'm good or any particular reason. Just for fun. I used some basic tutorials on YouTube for these. Are they good? No,but at least they aren't AI. #create
