🚨 Voices for Freedom and Local Elections 🚨

Last local elections VFF encouraged people to run for local council. Their plan was semi-successful, electing dozens of councillors and board members. This time around, they're far more organised. Read: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Samuel Leason has been abducted QR code leads to templates of letters to send to Parliament to demand his release Image includes a sample of the letters Our government has already made it clear in recent email responses that they will not advocate for the release of the New Zealanders on board the flotilla This is unacceptable We need to apply pressure to ensure that they take every diplomatic action available New Zealand lives are on the line, and we must demand their immediate release, safe and unharmed

Here’s an update on Barbara Marques from her husband Tucker May. If you’d like to help, contact your reps, especially if you live in California. There’s an easy script on this gofundme:
www.gofundme.com/f/help-barba...
This update just came in from Tucker: "Barbara was able to call me today — she is currently somewhere in Arizona but will be moved again soon (we are not sure where). She is being denied medical equipment needed for a chronic back issue and even ibuprofen. She and the other detainees she’s with are going 12+ hours without food. We know she is still in the US but not much beyond that. PLEASE help is in contacting local governmental reps (especially Rep Judy Chu, senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff and Governor Gavin Newsom) to demand action taken now to help these suffering detainees.” This update just came in from Tucker: "Barbara was able to call me today — she is currently somewhere in Arizona but will be moved again soon (we are not sure where).

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice.

When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

Same as it ever was.
Screenshot of a NYTimes headline and subhead that reads: "N.Y.C. Mayoral Candidates Move to Capitalize on Adams’s Departure Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa hit the campaign trail on Monday after Eric Adams left the race, while Andrew Cuomo called donors." Highlighted in blue is "while Andrew Cuomo called donors."

A script you can use if you’re not good at speaking on the spot.
I'm calling to demand that Senator Schumer not allow Donald Trump to take away access to transgender health care for anyone, let alone people with federal or state health insurance. Trans healthcare is lifesaving medicine. It is not cosmetic or frivolous; it is miraculous and it is vital. It is not something trans people can just go without. [You can add a personal anecdote here-how it has helped you or someone you love, how long you've been receiving trans healthcare, etc.J Trans people are also over twice as likely to live in poverty, which means they are often receiving this care through government-funded programs. They simply cannot afford it otherwise. If this care is lost, trans American lives will be lost too. This is the truth. If none of this stirs the Senator's compassion, please understand that trans people are, as a group, politically active, and they are rarely Republicans. The Senator should understand that if he caves and allows Trump to do this to us, it would be a betrayal of his constituents at an unforgivable level. If he caves, I will never vote for a Democrat again. I will not vote for a Democrat for president, for senator, for dogcatcher. This is a promise.

It’s my birthday 🥳🎉

It’s incredibly homophobic that I’m sitting here with a cold for it and have 2 dissertations to work on, ON A SUNDAY

But hey check out my work and give it a share 🥳
Illustration of a WWI French soldier in a field of tall grass. He has a prosthetic arm and mask on, and is ablaze too. The weather is foggy and behind him lies church ruins. The tones are blue and orange Illustration depicting a terrifyingly skinny woman with long silver hair parted towards the front. The illustration depicts her from behind. She's missing an arm and has a damaged prothestic limb as replacement. She's holding a cutter pointed towards a bright red square in the centre of her spine Digital illustration of a young woman with long, silver hair and wooden antlers, poking out of her skull and eye sockets. In between her open hands, and all over her face, red rot is crawling reminiscent of guts He's wearing a thick jumper with "Sarajevo 1984" in reference to the 1984 Sarajevo olympics Digital illustration of a young woman with long, straight white hair wearing a traditional czech crown. She's standing by a foggy lakeside with a black hole behind her. She's snucking her face into the collar of her pastel wind jacket

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital.

“Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

There must be consequences for this brownshirt behavior. This was not America, and in the future it will also not be — but to make that future happen many people must go to prison.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
