Pinned
a collection of organizations, but I'll highlight Al Otro Lado and Border Kindness.

In San Diego, nonprofits, Mutual aid groups, and locals care for migrants when border patrol detains them in camps without food or water: borderaidsandiego.org/what-is-happ...
Border Aid
Border Patrol detains migrants at open-air sites in the desert. Community volunteers provide the only food, water, medical care, shelter, or sanitation.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

this song (MTV Get Off the Air by Dead Kennedys) was written to be about MTV and its effects on engagement with music as an art form and subculture, but it's 150% relevant to the conversation about GenAI- and LLM-produced content

I really loved Sinners but how come we don't get to see more of the Native vampire hunting group? They deserve their own movie, or maybe a series.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

Hey y'all, this interview is a really important look at what trans protesters are facing, especially when the cops haul them off to jail on allegations like...writing "trans rights are human rights" in chalk.
BREAKING - Overnight in August, the city of Orlando, Florida took down the Pulse Nightclub memorial rainbow crosswalk. The next day, people began protesting. TNN interviewed one of the protesters, who recounted horrific human rights abuses after her arrest. Written by @thefreeradical.org

Seeing a lot of posts like "they want say we are angry, but we showed them we are all about joy"

It's ok to be angry, too. Anger is necessary, actually.

I know it’s the most obvious thing in the world but it’s really sad that so many people have absolutely no desires or dreams in life except to accumulate money and our entire world is becoming a fucking pit because of it
