if you are rightfully concerned if not frightened about the continued dissolution of U.S. healthcare infrastructure, would you take an action every day to resist it?

Another thing regarding mutual aid & who your community is, is a lot of disabled people in particular are very isolated. They're in deep poverty & complete abandonment. Literally. So they hop online to have community. Sometimes it's the only community they have & the only way they can get help.

Please boost to Help Me see the dentist to treat this painful abscess?

At $230/$1200 (estimate) needed for next round of dental work to get this infection under control.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

I'm an unemployed Puerto Rican trans woman desperately trying to save up enough money to flee from the USA. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and used to pay for visa, travel, and shelter expenses—which would help me flee earlier than I could without assistance.

Thank you for reading. 🫂❤️

Shamelessly piggy-backing off of Wylder's post to share my own request for #MutualAid.

I'm a currently unemployed Puerto Rican trans woman living in Texas desperately trying to raise funds to help me flee these Fascist States of America.

Whether you donate or boost, I'll be forever grateful. 🥲💖

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.
