My friend Aequus is having a rough time, navigating a divorce and ongoing health issues, which make it challenging to support herself and her daughter. This GoFundMe is to help her cover immediate expenses such as rent, utilities, and groceries as she continues to job-hunt.

It seems impossible to replace the essential services cut by the govt on a community level.

But the govt only started providing many of those services because the Black Panther Party was doing it so effectively that the govt got scared and wanted that power.

Now we can take the power back.

A sad day for America—Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist, has been arrested by ICE, not for any crime, but for his political activism. The Trump administration claims he was involved in “pro-terrorist” activities, yet no formal charges have been filed.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war!

How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

It's important to get on the phone with your Congresspeople today, if you possibly can, and protest Elon Musk's takeover of the government. I actually got a live person at my representative's office. *And* do all the other things you can. Protest in person, if you can. We can do this thing.

Yay, this makes me so happy. Speaking up makes change. It's not all there is to do, and it makes change.
It is our honor to serve you. America, you broke through— the media is finally picking up on what’s happening. We love you!! 🦬 💚 🇺🇸

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
