ICE is still terrorizing our neighbors in Minnesota. This is not over

An update on your generosity and the continued abuse by ICE of the families we are supporting (and thousands of others). Thank you for reading, sharing, donating - or just remembering that we are all human.

We are supporting four families that cannot leave their homes. They cannot work to earn income to pay bills and buy groceries. Children cannot safely attend schools. PLEASE help us help these families - or pass this on to folks who can.

Request for funds to support mutual aid for four families in the twin cities

For my mother and sister, both nurse practitioners. For every nurse who ever cared for me or the people I love. For all the folks who will die because they lack competent, compassionate care. But #thoughtsandprayers y'all Substack: open.substack.com/pub/interdep...

My design. Yours to download/steal/modify for the #nokings protest Saturday.

An image of a fictitious crossword puzzle with "Trump" as the only clue. The answers are Felon, Liar, Autocrat, Rapist, Fragile, Murderer, and Fascist. Letters spelling out "TRUMP" are circled in red, and the words NOKINGS are in red at the bottom of the crossword.

#WIC runs out of money this week. 6.8 million mothers and babies lose food. Formula. Milk. Everything. #Project2025 mapped this out. The shutdown accelerated it. This was the plan, and our nation deserves better: open.substack.com/pub/interdep...

Fact: Because iron lungs were primarily available in large cities, families from rural areas often had to travel long distances to visit their family members in hospitals with iron lungs. Future without Vaccines and Medicaid: see Fact. A portable home ventilator costs $15,000 base w/o insurance.

IMLS has already been gutted. NEH is next. That means losing the stories we’ve spent generations protecting. I made a toolkit. You can use it to fight back. 🗣️ Call your reps. Share it. Speak out. #saveNEH

I wrote a toolkit because IMLS was shut down. This wasn’t a budget cut—it was an erasure. Of public access. Of tribal memory. Of rural infrastructure. Of so much we cannot afford to lose. 🧾 Toolkit: drive.google.com/file/d/1jMP1... 🗳 Reps: www.commoncause.org/find-your-re... #SaveIMLS

In our "it doesn't matter unless it matters to me" world - The tax breaks will not positively impact us. They will trample us beneath the boots of oligarchy and fascism, leaving us bleeding, waiting for an ambulance that may never arrive, and then stick us with a bill we can never pay.

When a community’s history is censored, it’s not just about silencing stories—it’s about erasing the community itself - see images for more thoughts 📢 Take action: www.nps.gov/ston #SaveStonewall #LGBTQHistory #ProtectHistory

The text discusses the censorship of community histories, stating that erasure is an act of control meant to instill fear and erase the identities of marginalized groups. It emphasizes the importance of resisting this erasure by preserving history and amplifying silenced voices. The message specifically highlights the censorship at Stonewall National Monument as part of a larger pattern of historical erasure, not just of LGBTQ+ history but also of Black, Indigenous, immigrant, and women’s histories. It calls on readers to defend historical truth to ensure that public spaces reflect the full and diverse story of the nation. The text ends with a firm statement that allowing this erasure to happen means accepting a future where only the privileged and powerful are remembered—a future we cannot allow.
