Hey Army!!

I created a feed and a hashtag for us to be able to easily look for bts tickets to sell/buy/trade between armys over on borasky

By using #bangtantixhelp on your post it will appear in this feed, and the feed can be pinned to your skyline or just saved:

I'll also add, if you can't protest for whatever reason, replying to people on the ground at protest sharing content with alt-text and captions can be a good way to participate.

I'm very pro team alt-text, but also have sympathy for how hard it can be to type in the cold for people on the streets.
Once again, I ask you that if you are sharing images in your post, particularly those involving news & activism, you include alt text so that your message is accessible to everyone. Disabled people are among the targets of this administration & there is no inclusivity without including them.

“I live on a rural island in Alaska, reachable only by plane or boat. In our little town, 50 to 100 people stand outside each week at our town's roundabout to protest and hold vigil and stand in solidarity with you. We hold signs supporting Minnesota and demanding ICE Out.”

TIL about this barrier for deaf people calling Congress.
Nothing definitive--basically we are used to being hung up on because of the lag in translation time, so my workaround for these calls has been using ip/text relay and having the message typed out ahead of time so you can copy/paste it in fast enough before the phone tree or staffer hangs up!

The BBC is not “lost” as someone else said, they were never “found”; the theatre was simply better once. Your perception has changed dramatically, these institutions have not.

Lots of very irregular activity spotted on TM Mexico for BTS sales: no seat map, no entry, unaccepted membership numbers, people blocked from queue, declined payments - you name it.

And a physical queue of touts spotted at a ticket office 😳

Help report & request Hybe ask TM to cancel tout seats

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

I just made myself something warm to eat, did some stretches while it was warming up, refilled my water and added electrolytes, and took 3 deep breaths.

Now you.

Please keep circulating. Please keep donating. They are trying to raise 100k for their neighbors to keep them housed, fed, and safe.
This was just given to me by someone on the frontline in Minneapolis.

This fundraiser is organized by a group of neighbors, community organizers, and friends to help with housing payments for the neighbors in the Bryant neighborhood.

Share, give, share, and give again!

📣📣📣IMMIGRATION IS A FAKE PROBLEM
Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

I'm not even going to bother to point out what's wrong with this bullshit statement.

People need to do what they need to do to keep themselves and each other safe. There is no government protection. We must protect ourselves.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Hey. While I'm giving y'all the whole "Black people experience this every day, it's not new for us," let me give you one more important Black nugget of info:

"You don't have to watch the video."

Seriously. You don't.

Your life won't be improved by seeing it. Especially if you already oppose ICE.
