I hate asking but I’m running very low on food and other things, need to do laundry, have no funds on hand etc. I could really use help if anyone is able. Thank you! 💕💸💸💕
It’s fun homeless crippled Kait time again, and I raise my beggar’s bowl and ask for help, please.

If you can spare anything, my links are in my bio. 💸💕💕💸

It’s gonna be like $270 for five nights at the Super 8 plus $50 fee for early check in because I can’t stand and have nowhere to be between 11 AM and 3 PM. $50 cash deposit I do have. $50 in the bank I have. I think I can cover Uber.

So, $0/270 ATM

Let’s meet and seek to undermine the escalations as they do change conditions. It’s vital that we do. But not without recognition of the victims who fought and called for solidarity before this point. Not without connecting the dots between ICE abolition and the abolition of police, borders, states.

The rapidity of institutions to lie and victim-blame when state enforcers murder someone is something Black and brown people on the margins have had to contend with for the entirety of US history. Cops have always been an occupying military force kidnapping and murdering BIPOC with impunity.

Every violent act of ICE/CBP agents has precedent in police violence. What we’re witnessing IS an extreme escalation but it is NOT an aberration. It is in historical continuity with settler colonialism, slave patrols, eugenics, police brutality. Cops kill over 1,000 people in the U.S. every year.

Hi friends, we're in a severe cold snap with temps dropping to -30 & lower. Please consider helping folks live by making monetary or material donations toward supporting our houseless neighbours in Kitchener-Waterloo, or to ppl & initiatives in your own region.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

Pro tip: If you are attending a rally or action, wear a N95 mask & bring extras to give to others.

High quality masks can serve triple-duty: they prevent you and others from getting sick from airborne viruses, they keep your face warm in the freezing cold, & they can protect against surveillance.

A friend with Project HOME in Maine is asking for urgent help.

With ICE descending on neighborhoods, people are afraid to go to work—cutting off income and putting families at immediate risk of eviction.

This is a solidarity fund: 100% of donations go straight to rent.

The people of Rojava, especially the women, hold strong. Their resolve to defend their hard-won freedoms and rights is beyond incredible. It will serve them well, and I hope they will make it through.

The spirit of liberty will never falter.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I feel vindication in a way that is hard to grasp. To FINALLY wake up to this. A few of you reached out to me, and I to a few of you, over the last year. So now it's the best time to talk about this.

Buckle up.

Gently: I think the sweet little leftist fiction that right-wing politics are the result of epistemic gaps---that you can just newsletter and educate and evangelize your way to leftism---is dead.

Consider: many people want to hurt others. Want to feel superior. Want to inflict pain on the lesser.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
