You owe no one access to your trauma or any of your stories. Ever.

Friends and allies should have no expectation of access to your trauma. They will wait and follow your lead.

Anyone demanding it is neither a friend nor an ally.

We’ve gathered £83 so far, but we still need £292 to complete this month’s school installment for my children.

Please I don’t want them to miss another chance of learning.🥹

Your kindness can open the school doors for them and give them back their childhood after genocide.💔

My sons were all about learning about farts and poop when they were little. "The Gas We Pass" and "Everybody Poops" were two well-read titles in my children's library. I got them books about pooping and farting because colon cancer runs in my family. Learn about gut health. It can save your life.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, even the smell of your fart can reveal hidden clues about your digestion and overall health. Smelly, odorless, or sour — each tells a different story. Your body is alw...

Please help these kids get clothes for the winter!!
One of our emergency goals is STILL winter clothes. Most of these six families are kids, including a newborn: ALL have been repeatedly displaced & had to leave belongings behind. Last winter was deadly for children exposed to cold.

Help them. It matters.

My 6yo has started pretend electronic locking her bedroom door at night so Trump can't get in. She seemed to think that he himself is going into homes and causing harm. There are children in her school whose families have been impacted by ICE so we assume this is where the concern came from.
A Wash Post review found instances of parents arrested near campuses in at least 10 states so far this year. Actions near campuses—which include shooting a man, releasing tear gas and engaging in a car chase—have prompted lockdowns. @justinemcdaniel.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
In cities targeted by ICE, empty desks and school disruptions follow
One in 5 students in Charlotte missed school after a recent ICE crackdown began. It’s the latest city where schools felt the impact of Trump’s deportation effort.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Now, tonight's local urgent needs.

First, huge thanks to everyone who helped clear our mutual-aid group families' wishlists in recent days. I'll have one for a new family up sometime tomorrow.

For tonight, though, it's a couple of crowdfunds.

As these days—and every hour—remain tenuous, dependable help matters more than ever.

Six families: Medicine for urgent health conditions. Food for ongoing malnutrition. Supplies for a newborn. Tents for those stranded in the rain.

Anything helps:

jfc. It was determined by a US judge that she could not be deported to Sierra Leone due to danger she would face in the country she fled. So they deported her to Ghana, a country she had never been to, and Ghana deported her to Sierra Leone.

This country is fucking sick. Deeply deeply fucking sick

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.

But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

With @adn.com
Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names.
When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀
