I always say that everyone who attends a protest is marching for 10 people who can't.

Are you one of those 10 people? Can you spread the word? Pack lunches for friends who are going? Donate? Make zines? It's all The Work!

AND! There are a lot of things to do that AREN'T specific to this Saturday ⬇️

If you can’t attend a protest, there are many other ways to resist:

• Get connected to the resistance: fiftyfifty.one

• Get trained on noncooperation:

Raising $200 = really important b/c this = 1st week I'm opening as assistant manager!! So, it = critical that I get the $$$ to cover this week's rides!!

Considering 2K people follow me--& many more = reading this, can anyone spare $5, $10, $20, $25? Those amounts will help achieve the goal!

The Take it Down Act, which makes threatening to distribute nonconsensual intimate images a federal crime, was passed on May 19 of this year. According to reports, Mills made at least one threat after this date.

Quote from Daytona Beach News-Journal article: "In another message exchange, dated June 12, Langston said to Mills: "Leave me alone."

Mills replied: "Okay Linds. Get me his number and I can send him videos. Take care.""

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

E.P.A. Canceled $20 Million Flood Protection Grant to Alaska, Parts of Which Just Flooded

The remote village of Kipnuk planned to use the money to protect against flooding. On Sunday, it was inundated.

Happy #PortfolioDay! If you're looking for cute characters, I'm your person! I've worked on everything from indie games to paper goods. I'm available for freelance illustration and product design (my merch is also available for wholesale). ✏️🐰

Illustration of a happy looking cute kitty character eating a big piece of candy corn while surrounded by more candy corn. Its colors and markings look like the candy corn itself.

Photo of a pastel square blue zine that says "Lucky Buns, Roll for a Cute Bonus" on the cover with an illustrated D20 and a cute bunny face. Another copy is laying opened showing a "how-to" page and cute black and white art inside.

Because marginalized people are the ones whose speech is most often disapproved of, the burden and consequences of deanonymization laws falls extremely disproportionately on them, and always will. No one should ever support mandatory age verification, ever.

I know one of the lawyers working to get Emmanuel back to his mom, who was deported to Venezuela without him. I've donated, and if anyone has extra to spare, this is a family reunification we can make happen. ❤️ Reshares welcome!

Gushingly praising Trump for “securing peace” is sick business even by the sick business standard we’re operating under. This kind of ”peace” has always been possible. Whoever was in power just needed to say yep you know what no more arms for you unless you act right.

Remember when you tried to tell us “the younger generations don’t think that way.” And “the young people will save us.” There are a lot of great, humane, decent, bright young people out there. But there are also a lot of these young people. And they’re not going anywhere.

Useful to whom isn't specified, that's true. If it's solely not useful to the payer, that still leaves plenty of scope for doing things that have no effect on our lives but would be useful to the recipients

The only thing I can think of offhand that truly isn't useful at all in any way is harmful stuff.

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you!

But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 2d

NO KINGS, y'all! October 18! Find a rally near you and GO!

🧵Here's a thread of some of my stories this year on the impact of the Trump administration on America's public health.

Hi! I'm a public health reporter moving from THERE to here. Give me a follow if you're interested in my writing & take:

Public health isn't only about outbreaks & vaccines. It's about making society healthier outside of clinics. It requires systemic change, equity, a belief in the common good.
