and if you can't do street protest due to disability or other reasons there are lots of other ways to contribute!!! a bunch are in this nifty zine spencersunshine.com/wp-content/u...

cover identifiable marks and tattoos. wear nondescript clothes that you don’t usually wear (people have been identified by SHOES before). be wary of anyone trying to split you off from a bigger group; they may be leading you into getting kettled

Does anyone have experience with and/or resources about using Signal app with screen readers or similar accessibility tech? Is Signal compatible with screen readers? Any tips or tricks or barriers to be aware of? Disability communities need infosec, too! I appreciate boosts as much as replies!

HEY NEW YORKERS If you want to vote in the DEMOCRATIC primary, TOMORROW is your last day to register Check your registration here: voterlookup.elections.ny.gov Register (AS A DEMOCRAT) here: e-register.vote.nyc ****YOU CANNOT VOTE IN THE PRIMARY IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED AS A DEMOCRAT****

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

LA people, Critical Resistance is offering a “We Keep Us Safe” workshop on protecting the community from ICE on Monday at 6:30. Register: criticalresistance.us4.list-manage.com/track/click

1) don't talk to cops, 2) don't clean teargas with milk, 3) don't sit down in a protest, and 4) I'm serious: don't talk to cops

and please mask at protests and in organizing spaces. disabled people deserve access to those spaces without facing undo risk from our comrades, and this is probably not going to be a short fight and we need to keep each other healthy. long covid will greatly reduce your ability to organize.

Protest near Los Angeles at the DoubleTree in Whittier - trying to make #ICE Agents leave their hotel.

Hey y'all. Little to no movement on this one. Every effort to uplift and meet his goal is appreciated. Very little time left. #helpsky #fundsky #mutualaid #maboost #helpfolkslive2025 💞💸

Thanks for wanting to help! Should we go on strike, the most important thing is not to cross the picket line: don't click on, read, listen to, or watch any Vox Media products for the duration of the strike. Should we go on strike, we'll have more specific ways to help out, so stay tuned! Thank you!

Update: We've removed the paywall for all ye who enter.

“If you’re looking for a way to be in community on Saturday, FREE DC and Harriet’s Wildest Dreams will be celebrating D.C. rather than the military: D.C. Joy Day is taking place in Anacostia Park, with food, music, activities for kids, and teach-ins. “

Nimbus Covid variant (nicknamed “razor blade throat”) is widespread in the US China reported a doubling in hospitalized cases, and there are anecdotal reports on social media that some doctors have died & they’re seeing pneumonia again It’s difficult to verify, but an excellent reason to mask up!

For my b-day, I am asking people 2 donate 2 the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. There aren’t words for the horror and violence children in Gaza are living through. There’s a lot happening in the world right now, but it’s important we don’t turn away from these crimes against humanity.

I'm a genderqueer trans woman who is still suffering long term unemployment and severe depression/fatigue. I need a *LOT* of help for June. Please help me ko-fi.com/kofisupporte... #ko-fi #helpfolkslive #urgent #TransCrowdfund #HelpFolksLive2025 #HelpSky #TransRights #Pride #mutualaid 💸♥️

If you're going to be at this Nassau County NY No Kings event and plan to be masking also for health reasons (there's a covid wave). Please get in touch with me for a @motherjones.com piece, as I'd like to connect you with @artiscuriskis.bsky.social who will be there. www.mobilize.us/progressived...

Donate $20+ and I'll add you to a raffle to win a colored sketch

A nice thing to print up and have on hand if you are heading to a public place with others to express your opinions: gem7.neocities.org/pubs/protest...

I just saw a Facebook post encouraging people to *sit down* at a protest if any violence occurs as a way of “spreading peace.” This is terrible advice. Violence at protests is usually initiated by police. Sitting could make you an incredibly vulnerable target.

The “largest landback deal in California history” was just completed, and it could be a model for the future.

Pasadena, CA: The AC Hotel has asked ICE to leave. Hosting ICE agents at your hotel is bad for business.

The Nassau County mask ban makes masking (even N95s) a criminal offence punishable by 6 months in jail and/or a $1000 fine There’s technically a medical exemption, but it’s up to police to determine who’s sick enough to mask If you’re protesting in this county & masking for health, contact Julia!

So to no fault of momb, momb's bike is totaled. Both breaks are stripped and the back one now only works 30% which is dangerous, and the front tire bent accidentally? So... We're raising money to get them an expensive, nice bike at Kent Cycle. gofund.me/3e15ac15

Hey, anybody know any tenant lawyers in WV willing to take a pro bono case? Kind of urgent.

Looking for a way to make a difference? We've got you! Arizona & North Carolina both have upcoming elections and restrictive ID laws that could prevent A LOT of folks from voting. Join us TOMORROW, June 12, to make sure voters have what they need and know where they can get free support! 📲

I genuinely think that a lot of people who use dehumanizing imagery that echo antisemitic tropes to criticize Miller are not doing so from a place of antisemitic hate, but when you see a Jew tell someone their rhetoric is echoing antisemitism… for the love of god don’t say “but he’s a Jewish Nazi”

If you're active-duty military and filing conscientious objector paperwork in response to what's happening, we'd like to talk to you @taskandpurpose.com. Even on background or anonymously. Please reach out via signal nslayton.12

"Tenants in Kansas City are declaring victory after eight months on rent strike—the longest such action in the city’s history...an outcome that lends momentum to efforts to adapt labor union strategies for housing fights." inthesetimes.com/article/rent...

Would be great if people in our community stopped treating unpaid activists being treated like a public service. If you think someone isn't doing this work well enough, go and do it yourself. Backseat driving is always easier. Sorry, but this stuff is a real problem. This work is really hard.

So...yesterday, I found out that my #PhD funding from the government was terminated so money for survival is now in jeopardy. 🙃 If you know of ANY sources of funding, please let me know. #academicsky #academia #research #blackademics #econsky

The husband of one of my brother’s co-teachers has been kidnapped by ICE in San Jose. Even if you don’t donate to her fundraiser, please read for just one of countless stories of arbitrary cruelty. www.gofundme.com/f/bring-anye...

JUST IN: Two ballot measures to protect public libraries from the conservative city council in Huntington Beach are both ahead by very wide margins. Measure to repeal a 'book review committee' up 61/39. Measure to bar privatization up 63/37. That's already with 51K+ ballots counted. Context:

I propose a new Los Angeles holiday every June 8, based on las Posadas. Actors dressed as National Guard soldiers go door to door through the neighborhood asking for a place to sleep. At each house they are told "¡Chinga tu madre!" and the door is slammed in their face.

even if they do manage to stay in the hotel, how are they going to get a wink of sleep? and the hotel is going to lose so much business.

If you're working on a local mutual aid project, an organizing project etc... Saturday will be a terrific recruitment day. If you attend one of the mobilizations, bring info about your work. Make sure it has contact info.

I'm pretty sure we've raised about $2000 for the bail fund in just a few minutes. Terrific.

19 days until back surgery. Even if it's only an extended stay motel, get them indoors for the surgery and recovery period. This is spinal surgery. Talking months of recovery. So yeah, any combo ppl x $$ = $7K is going to be needed. Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2025

Removing pepperball residue from clothing and other items. This is based on my (unfortunately extensive) personal experience and experimentiation. Pepperballs contain powdered PAVA, an oily, synthetic capsaicin analog. The only reliable way to remove it is with a good surfactant soap and water. 1/
