Casual reminder that the Palestine Children's Relief Fund has a 97% on Charity Navigator and you should donate to it if u can. Despite the limited external aid that's been allowed into Gaza, they've been able to distribute a lot of aid internally. And they are providing needed aid to Lebanon.
ICE raids are starting on Tuesday in Chicago.
Yell “ICE” and “LA MIGRA” to disrupt them. Notify people and use your privilege as a citizen to make ICE’s job as difficult as possible.
Fascism has been here. It’s just loud now. Time to be loud too.
Please take a moment to read this. A Canadian company wants to build a sulfide copper mine near Lake Superior, which holds 21% of the world’s freshwater. The mine would produce 98.5% toxic waste, stored in a dam just two miles from the lake. The dam can only withstand a 1-in-100-year storm, but the area has had two 1-in-1,000-year storms in the past decade. If it breaks, toxic water could flood the lake. Copper sulfide mines in the U.S. have consistently contaminated nearby water sources, and this mine could hurt local communities with lower employment, income, and property values. The company wants $50 million in taxpayer funding to move forward. The Michigan Senate is about to vote, if they don’t get the funding they can’t build it.
Sign this petition if you want to prevent this disaster by searching “Protect the Porkies, Protect Lake Superior— Stop the Copperwood Mine!” at change.org.

If you need further help in a quick format, here is one, but i urge you to also add in the details for requiring an investigation, not just recount.
Something you can do right now about the attacks on immigrants in the US and increased ICE raids is to look up immigrant rights organizations and rapid response teams in your area. Keep phone numbers on you to report any ICE activity you spot.
In Washington State, WAISN is still operating its rapid response hotline at 1-844-724-3737. You can call or text to make a detailed report. You can also text “ICE” or “Migra” to 509-300-4959 to sign up for alerts to ICE activity.
Most states and major cities have something like this or at least a general immigrant support org. Find the one most relevant to you and be prepared to act. Remember the SALUTE system.
hey! donate to uk trans charities today because it’s gonna be a rough one
Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.
If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.
Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.
I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.
"The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them."

Okay, trees, I know it's hard to understand but those billionaires? That orange stain now in office? They're the axe, honey. They've always been the axe.
And we've never been anything but kindling to them.
