To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Anyway, venmo me if you wanna help stock our local food shelf’s inventory. Crisis levels. Our neighbors are struggling. We have raised $30+K in six annual drives and it flies off the shelves. Top requested item, 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 4 teens experience period poverty every mo. Halloween deadline.

8yo, as I try to objectively answer his questions about the period drive: “Wait. I can’t believe you have to pay for pads and tampons. Every month?? It’s, like, a major NEED. And then you can’t even use help (Ed. note: He means SNAP) if you don’t have enough money? They should change that.”

This was appropriated from the social media feed of Ted Chiang. I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment.

I’m only thinking about this article in the content of SCOTUS rehearing the Voting Rights Act case. This is what Republicans say in private. Republicans who are elected. Republicans who serve within their party apparatus. Republicans who work for the Trump administration & work in state government.

Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social I have made “How to Report ICE” zines for many localities in the US. The SALUTE protocol is included and the LUCE hotline as well for MA. Zines are available in English and Spanish for Massachusetts.

I spent the morning at a rally for striking CMRJB Workers United union tannery workers at Twin City Tanning in South St Paul. They are fighting for better wages and working conditions. Many of these workers have been there over 20 years and are still barely making 20 dollars an hour.
