what is @samreich.bsky.social doing in there?

the above website & www.iceoutofca.org/act.html have resource guides as well as info on state & fed policies to educate people the cases inevitably built against ice & federal government

some of the digital resources can be sent to people's phones if they have access to them during detainment

only ice anyone should be defending is in the polar regions but I doubt many of these spineless cowards in office will do much to protect vulnerable communities by abolishing ice

Day 9: "To Die for the People" by Huey Newton.

This collection, edited by Toni Morrison captures the vision of the BBP co-founder. Newton challenges police brutality, racial capitalism, & U.S. imperialism & calls for community self-defense, solidarity across oppressed ppl, & a better future. 🧶

I wish they were as empathetic as pigs

every time the sun tries to peak out from the marine layer, I'm like no, no, no, I should see you again until september!

who tf earns rental money from an ice detention facility like it's a casual apartment complex any old landlord has across the country?! aren't they owned by a huge for-profit company? it's not like these are little white collar managers, the company gets like a billion $ from these facilities a year

I wasn't worried about it with how blurry it is in the background, I'm just surprised I missed it in the pictures on my initial observation

I just realized the reference photo in the first picture that I took 🧡🩵🤍

nudibranch nerds who love good yarn should take note!

Quadrilateral? Quad for short?

after we cleaned up, a pair of ravens flew over us, croaking & swooping between each other, then as we reached our car, the same ravens flew by us again

no tears this time, my grandma was calming & grounding compared to my grandpa & I knew I made the right choice connecting w/ her to heal

I picnicked w/ my grandma & we had tea, sandwiches, scones, & I left her some milk as is traditional in Scottish ancestor veneration

I also brought her some flowers, sea shells, sea glass, rocks that I've tumbled recently, cleared her grave with a heather besom, & burned some saining herbs for her

I stopped by to see my grandpa in the San Francisco National Cemetery before we go to my grandma's grave & while I was talking to him, a raven showed up & started croaking at me, so naturally, I started crying

this is the theme of my day so far, just constant crying

Day 7: "The Fateful Triangle" by Stuart Hall.

Jamaican-born theorist Stuart Hall’s book is a powerful critique of how race, ethnicity & nation are entangled. A radical, essential read on identity, power & belonging in a postcolonial world. Clear & accessible writing! 🧶

Day 5: "The Wretched of the Earth" by Frantz Fanon.

A blazing anti-colonial manifesto, demanding revolution of both society and us too. A radical, necessary takedown of colonialism & its aftermath. Fanon reminds us that liberation is collective or it is nothing at all. 🧶

Day 3: "I Refuse to Condemn: Resisting Racism in the times of National Security" edited by Asim Qureshi.

A relevant, powerful 2020 compilation of global voices, from scholars to writers & journalists shining light on root causes of imperialism & racism.

Paired w/ an orange/red gradient skein.🧶

Day 1: "How Europe underdeveloped Africa" by Walter Rodney.

Essential reading by Guyanese historian & activist W. Rodney who explains how Africa has historically been deliberately exploited for western gain. It's an eye opener.
