Will Gaza Ever Know a Real Ceasefire, or Just a Pause Before the Next Bomb?
What does hope mean when your city is flattened and everyone you know is slowly starving?

I want to report some good news from LA:

ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

The idea that acknowledging a threat automatically makes you "afraid" is one of the most annoying conflations that "Covid is over" people make.

BREAKING: We're back at Tesla's showroom in Manhattan to read our statement in response to the Musk-Trump regime threatening us with federal investigation.

We are volunteers dedicated to nonviolent creative protest. We are not scared of this threat and we will not back down.

Bold font that reads, "The pandemic isn't over just because you're over it." Below we can see a graph of wastewater data for Covid from 2020 to the present day, with fluctuating levels. Most of the post 2021 peaks exceed the peaks of 2020 and 2021.

The protests are working.
If Protesting Tesla Is Domestic Terrorism, Then What Demonstration Against Musk Isn’t
In a bid to boost Elon Musk’s car company, Trump did a live White House ad and threatened Tesla protesters would “go through hell.”

Help us raise $ to pay Black trans artists for the Fri, 2/28 vigil for Sam, Tahiry, & countless Black trans siblings lost to violence.

Venmo: CommunityDaddy
Memo: Use flower emojis 🌹

Lake Merritt Amphitheater: Oakland, CA
Masks provided 😷
#TransCommunity #Oakland
#MaskUp #MutualAid #QueerCommunity
At the top, centered is “Community Fundraiser” in black text with a white text bubble. Underneath is an electric blue megaphone facing to the right, with a speech bubble saying “We’re raising funds to pay Black trans artists & culture keepers for the vigil in Oakland on Friday, 2/28 at Lake Merritt Amphitheater. Join us in supporting Black trans community. Extra funds go to vigil supplies & fundraisers for Sam & Tahiry's families.” There’s another bubble with the fundraiser details: “Venmo: CommunityDaddy / Memo: Use a flower Emoji” In the bottom lefthand corner is a small version of the flyer in slide 1. The background is an abstract airbrush with the colors of the trans flag, blue and pink. At the top of the flyer is white text reading “Black Trans Lives Matter CA” and underneath in red and white text are the words “Candlelight Vigil for Sam and Tahiry”. Sam is pictured on the left and Tahiry is pictured on the right, both looking ahead at the camera. Between their faces is a white dove carrying an olive branch, with light radiating out. Beneath their pictures is red text reading “Friday, Feb 28th 6pm - 8pm” and the following line in white text reads “Lake Merrit Amphitheater” A white oval surrounds Sam and Tahiry, as well as the event details, with red roses in the four corners. The flyer background is a blue sky with clouds, the colors of the trans flag, and trans symbols. Behind the flyer, the background is an abstract airbrush with the colors of the trans flag, blue and pink. Underneath the flyer is a text bubble that says “GFM for Tahiry’s Family: tinyurl.com/ForTahiryB / GFM for Sam’s Family: tinyurl.com/ForSamN”

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza was mourned Wednesday in Gainesville, Texas. The 11-year-old girl died by suicide after classmates bullied her and threatened to call ICE to deport her parents.

Jocelynn was in the sixth grade. She loved playing the French horn, making TikTok videos and swimming.

Many folks are returning to masking regularly as US healthcare infrastructure shudders under corruption and collapse; as you find the one that works for you, have you ever tried these ones? What’s your favorite mask? How do you style it?
