a NorCal Resist comrade's father is "choosing" "self-deportation" over state violence*. this small fundraiser is to help him start his life over in Mexico. gofund.me/5c827bbe3 *quotes because how much of a choice is this?

My name is Saeed. The war has destroyed my life. I am homeless, and no one is taking care of us. I am trying to rescue 11 members of my family and get them to safety. We have no work or income. I kindly ask you to support our story and help us overcome this hardship. 🥺🙏 chuffed.org/project/1876...

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

Dear friends, please let's help Reem. The situation in Gaza is catastrophic. There is no food and prices are very high. Please share and, if you can, donate. Thank you.

"A Genocide Was Committed in Sudan’s El Fasher. A Year Later, Survivors Recount the Horrors" The RSF killed, raped, & disappeared thousands as they overran North Darfur’s capital in Oct 2025. No one has been held accountable in the year since, writes Eisa Dafallah. zeteo.com/p/a-genocide...

Please send Osama's family help if you can. ❤️‍🩹

Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

I am b e g g i n g people to mask up at major cons, *especially* ones with 5-digit crowd sizes!! Lightbox this weekend was absolutely ravaged; I’m hearing of SO many attendees and exhibitors who got sick from doing the show this year!! Please stay safe out there! 🙏 🙏

Ahmed's 💌 In Gaza, hunger is stealing our strength day by day. Ahmed’s family is struggling to find enough food to survive. We need just €150 more. Please, even €1 could help put food on our table. Don’t scroll past our suffering Help us survive and share our cry for help chuffed.org/project/1696...

Vote Blue. Since the fall of Roe, 1000 women have been charged w/ pregnancy related crimes, mostly miscarriages. Yet the people who should be held accountable for REAL CRIMES roam around free. This is toxically ass backwards. #pinks

please help 💜 chuffed.org/project/1863... 3 MONTHS WITHOUT DONATION ⚠️

Mohamed and I talked today. We'll persist. When he can write his own words, on his own time, he receives more donations, and his situation is dire. He said, "A bullet entered my tent on Thursday night. Thank God, no one was injured." Today the watercress sprouted. chuffed.org/project/help-mohamed

It’s incredibly hard to not be completely demoralized about the job search. I can work but for medical reasons it HAS to be a fully remote job—and there aren’t a lot of those. I’ve applied for at least a dozen positions (including temp, PT, contract) to no success. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.

🚨 STOP! STOP! PLEASE DON’T SCROLL! 💔😭 Reem in Gaza couldn’t afford lunch today. Food prices are unbearably high, and hunger is breaking her. 💔 She desperately needs your help to eat and survive. Please don’t leave her starving! 🙏😭 chuffed.org/project/help...

Please help Reem and her family if you can. ❤️‍🩹

I’m having trouble breathing, and it’s becoming difficult to breathe.

There are thousands of detainees on Rikers who haven't been convicted of a crime, who have the right to vote on paper, but not the ability in practice. 🎥 The Public Advocate and @cmbrookspowers.bsky.social on their bills to expand voting access in city jails, passed by @council.nyc.gov Thursday.

The colonizers are blocking food and forcing starvation even more than usual. Send help where you can, share if you can't, demand accountability from your "representatives".

These bits are astonishing (or maybe not, since the US has forever thought of its soldiers as cannon fodder):

1) After four years of trying to conceive, Faiqa Al-Aridi, 33, from Al-Bureij refugee camp, finally experienced the joy of becoming a mother. Her baby girl, Nour Abdel Jawad, was born without arms, amid the war on Gaza, famine, and exposure to toxic substances from missiles and artillery shells.

Im so so sorry to push so hard but I currently need help affording transpo to my appts & bills. I currently only have enough for the iron infusion on the 22nd. I NEED to at least also see my neurosurgeon. I know everyone is struggling & I apologize. Thank you for continuing to help me too. [Cont]

Hey, it’s the official release day for Seeing Like a Supply Chain! And of course I’m swamped with grading and lesson-planning, but maybe I can say a little about the book and the process of researching it. yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

The Mississippi AG says police are justified for killing a baby because someone thought his mother shoplifted diapers that she paid for. The police have refused to release body cam footage. Fuck everything about this story.
