I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.
Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

Please for the love of god take breaks, do stretches, TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY!!! I would be ten times the artist I am today if I didnt have a surgery in my drawing arms shoulder which kept me from drawing for months and still acts up now and then. Your body has limits, and not all damage can be fixed

This is true for your car as well. ICE does not have the authority to remove you from your vehicle without a signed judicial warrant. Do not open the doors or windows. #Warrant
Before opening your door to ICE, know your rights, as recommended by the Immigrant Law Center. Remember to assert them calmly and safely.

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers.
the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

oldhead advice from an oldhead.
every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"
and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work
gotta build for long term
