The mere PRESENCE of a gun in the home increases the risk of suicide by 300%, and the leading FORMER gun violence prevention org is going to train you on how to purchase a gun.

Abbey Winter @abbeymwinter.bsky.social · Sep 6

Their BeSMART training addressed all of this, including unintentional (not accidental) shootings. Live fire and marksmanship training will do NOTHING to prevent kids from accessing unsecured guns. They are selling a class on how to BUY a gun 👇🏻.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."
www.calonews.com/featured-top...

Carlos Jimenez, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, was on his way to work at a food bank when he was shot by ICE officers in what a DHS spokesperson calls “defensive shots.”

On Thursday morning at approximately 6:30 a.m., ICE officers were at Vineyard Avenue in Ontario when Jimenez, who was not in the target vehicle, attempted to pull in front of the officers.

According to Javier Hernandez, executive director of the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Jimenez was trying to assist and provide aid to the person who was being stopped by ICE officers.

After Jimenez was shot in the shoulder, the LA Times and LA Taco reported that he drove to his brother’s house so he could take him to the hospital.

Protest tomorrow at Fenway Health at noon over abandoning trans youth. If you're in Boston, come out and support.

A colorful flyer with a textured background promoting an event titled “Paint and Protest for Trans Care.” The text reads:

“Saturday, 11/1, @12pm - 1340 Boylston St. - @ProtectTransFutures.”

It invites people to join for an afternoon of sign making, chalk art, and hot chocolate to show support for gender-affirming care at Fenway Health. It states the protest welcomes community members of all ages and encourages bringing friends, kids, and neighbors. It also mentions that those unable to attend can donate art supplies by contacting @ProtectTransFutures on Instagram.

At the bottom, bold text reads:
“OUR GOAL: Bring the Boston community together to show Fenway Health that we won’t turn our backs on trans youth. Healthcare is a human right.”

Logos for ACT UP Boston and Protect Trans Futures (PTF) appear at the bottom.

If you can make it to Rush Hospital in Aurora, IL, an ICE patroller got pulled out of her car, assaulted and pepper sprayed by agents. She's in the hospital and nobody except ICE is allowed to see her.

There's a call to assemble and demand ICE leave the hospital, and let her husband in to see her.

FWD: 👁️‍🗨️🍂 Support Request from West Chicago Rapid Response group (WeGo Angels):

⚙️ Two patrollers we regularly work with were arrested, and one patroller, who had a baby in the backseat of her car, was pulled out of her car, assaulted, and pepper-sprayed in the face, for peacefully documenting ICE's actions from her car.

⚙️ She has been taken to Rush Hospital, where nobody EXCEPT ICE is being allowed to see her, including her husband. We are calling for back-up: we want as many people as possible to show up at Rush Hospital in Aurora, IL to PEACEFULLY demand ICE leave the hospital and demand her husband his legal right to see her.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Sara Whitmer

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.
