Hereās a link to a google sheet of ALL BAIL FUNDSĀ around the country. You can also add missing bail funds here by messaging me!
Please spread this link around!
ALSO, hereās a comprehensive link to a google doc that includesĀ a compiled list of petitions, resources, ways to get in touch with law officials, resources for international people, all donations, and organizations you can donate to support the black lives matter movement!
Iām just super fucking bitter that once the flint water crisis got itās 15 minutes of fame people stopped giving a shit. The water is still poisoned, people! Donations have plummeted and people have been forced back into drinking and bathing with the water! The medical effects of this are astounding, cases of legionnaires disease have skyrocketed, people are having seizures, people are having weird rashes break out over their body, people (including me!) are having their blood poisoned, and itās not just lead! itās coliform bacteria! itās THMs! itās all in the water and it gets into the bloodstream and breaks down blood vessels, causing bruising andĀ petechiae and internal bleeding and no one gives a shit anymore and itās only gotten worse like how many people are going to have to die until people realize this is still a problem
I would like to add that the people of Flint cannot sell their houses, because selling a house with leaded water is illegal. Additionally, households with children canāt stop paying for the water because living in a house without running water is cause for CPS to take their kids. Flint has been living this way for over two years.Ā
The people of Flint are trapped by the legal system. And it is only the most high profile case out many cities with a similar problem.Ā
Because the government has abandoned them, they are dependant on help from the outside. Donate here

My name is Mari Copeny, Iām a 12 year old from Flint, Michigan. You may know me as Liā¦ LuLu Brezzell needs your support for Little Miss Flin
Mari Copeny has taken the initiative to create a water filter. Iāve linked her GoFundMe thatās she using to raise money for it. Sheās been able to raise $50k in donations but her next goal is $1 million
Water is a basic human right, it says a lot about governments that fail to provide that. Especially for a so called āfirst world countryā
This is as of 4/26/21.

Water is a basic human right, water is a basic human right, water is a basic human right
israel has been bombing residential towers, refugee camps, media offices and now there are reports that it plans to bomb two UN run schools in palestine. reminder that many ppl who have been rendered homeless by these bombings have found shelter in these schools. palestine's hospitals are overflowing, their top doctors are being killed in these bombings, and the pandemic is still raging while israel is blocking humanitarian aid as well. these are war crimes. this is a genocide.
PLEASE do not stop talking about Palestine and spreading information, especially from Palestinians, whether it's here or on other social medias you use more often. Palestinians themselves have said over and over again that spreading this on social media helps, I've seen some people say that it feels different this time now that the world is starting to hear their voices. and please donate if you are able to
Fuck Kamala Harris.
Fuck her.

what you missed in Minneapolis this past week (6/6/21)
.
The city and mayor are attempting to remove the community structures and memorials from 38th and Chicago to re-open the streets to car traffic despite the mayorās promise last year and continued local opposition.
.
.
U.S. Marshalls killed a Black man, Winston Smith for unclear reasons in Minneapolis. Minneapolis police then cracked open the head of a person at a vigil for Smith who was handing out pizza (no hospital info for her yet) while attempting to shut down the vigil. The task force that killed Smith does not use body cameras, but itās believed witnesses may have recorded something. Police have stated that Smith was suspected of owning a handgun while being a (former?) felon.
.
Gun control in the U.S will always be used to kill Black people. There is no legal measure that wonāt be used to subjugate Black people. The law and its enforcement are murderous institutions of control for white supremacy and the rich.
This story might be being suppressed on social media according to local sources. This post will be updated as/if I learn more.
I get so angry hearing and reading about what's happening in Palestine right now. I don't even know what to do and it all feels hopeless š
The situation around Sheikh Jarrah should make everyone angry. For those of you who might not know whatā going on hereās a brief breakdown:
Indigenous Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah, for a very long time, have been fighting lengthy legal battles in Israeli courts against eviction orders which aim to replace these indigenous people with illegal Israeli settlers.Ā
On May 7th, the illegal Israeli settlers along with courts (an apparatus of Israelās apartheid regime) have started a campaign to illegally take over the homeās of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah. These families were given until today (May 10th, 2021) toĀ āreach an agreementā with the occupiers. This obviously prompted protests. The IDF has also brutally responded to these protests. Now the world is watching and global protests have started happening.
Some important things to note:
-Sheikh Jarrah belongs to the Palestinian families. It is part of the occupied Palestinian territory, and therefore any Israeli settler presence in it amounts to a war crime under international law.Ā
-There has been a mountain of UN Security Council resolutions demanding that Israel withdraw from East Jerusalem which Israel continues to ignore.
-This is ethnic cleansing
I know you feel hopeless but hereās what we can do:
-Support BDS (Boycott, Divestments, Sanctions) movements (Whatās BDS?) Boycott Israeli products from their colonial settlements
-Understand whats happening in Palestine and the crimes of apartheid/persecution being committed by Israel. (Check out this great report by HRW on the situation) After getting an understanding. SPREAD AWARENESS. Especially in the US. This is key to combatting Evangelical propaganda and Israeli lobbyists. Do this through social media.
-Contact your local reps and pressure them to stop giving Israel military funding or any form of financial support. Fight against zionist lobbyists such as AIPAC or Christians United for Israel.
-Donate if you can. Hereās a few links. If you can add more (reputable) donation links to this, I ask that you please do.Ā
International Medical Corps
Palestine Childrenās Relief Fund
Grassroots Al-Quds
I found this great twitter thread of donation links
Here is another
This is a start and we can honestly make change happen. I personally believe social media outrage coupled with supporting the BDS movement is a great way for you to help even by sitting at home.Ā
Most of all, itās important to spread awareness.
reminder that george floyd wasn't a martyr who sacrificed his life for the betterment of white people
he didn't choose to die. he didn't sacrifice himself. he was murdered in cold blood
white people are already twisting this, thanking him for his sacrifice like he decided to be brutally murdered by a white cop for existing as a black man
like. stop thanking him for being killed just because it made you open your eyes! it was never his responsibilty to make you take a stand against police violence and racial profiling in the first place
you want to make something out of his death? acknowledge that it was senseless and never should have happened in the first place! stop glorifying this murder
So it was a white woman who killed Botham Jean, and a white woman who killed Dante Wright, and itās been white women at the center of almost every video of someone unjustly calling the police on black people, and itās white women who have been directly or indirectly responsible for many horrific massacres of black peoples across the US like the one in Wilmington and the famous Tulsa massacre, and itās white women who have a deep history of weaponizing their white womanhood by falsely accusing black men of rape even so much as to accuse black children like emmet till which resulted in the entire civil rights movement, and white women who constructed the idea of preserving the confederacy, and itās white women who have gained freedom by steeping on the backs of black women, and white women who have fought to preserve the racist ideals of the 50s Nuclear family, and the list goes on and on and on and on.
So are we ready to talk about how white women are not incidental participants in white supremacy but rather the architectures and safe-guards of it?
So, if you don't know about Kahn Academy its an online education platform that provides free courses in a whole lot of subjects. I've personally used it for computer science and math. The classes they have really run the gamut
They need donations (they're a 501 nonprofit) to help them keep operating and grow. They're an invaluable source of learning for pretty much anyone, particularly those without the financial and/or social resources to access other options. Using it helped me test into higher levels at my CC and saved me about two years in tuition for classes that I didn't need and wouldn't have helped toward my degree. If you've got the ability consider throwing them some scratch or at least reblog to keep a great organization going.
Learn for free about math, art, computer programming, economics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, finance, history, and more. Khan Aca
Khan Academy is one of the only tools that was accesible for me as a poor teenager trying to study for the PSATs, SATs, AP classes, and even my college calculus classes. The amount of care and attention that goes into their videos, how attentive they are to user feedback and etc. is just not something that I've experienced with other learning organizations. They don't ostracize you for learning differently and they incorporate their tutorials in a way that gives you visual and auditory instruction, as well as plenty of practice and etc. really worthwhile resource and it would be an absolute shame if they were to shutter.
philly turned out to evict trump, so if you want to say thank you for getting it done please donate to the philly bail fund.
philly has the worst cops in america, just two weeks ago they pulled a Black mother out of her car, beat her and arrested her in front of her 2-year-old son, who they then kidnapped and used for copaganda. she had committed the crime of getting stuck on a one-way street at the edge of a protest against the murder by cops of Walter Wallace, a Black man suffering from mental illness, who was shot in front of his mother.
there's no reason to expect cop behavior to improve now that trump's lost and they're angry. please support the people of philadelphia, who showed up.
for more on police violence, antiracism and radically transformative politics in philly and what you can do to help, see @phillybailfund, @phillybailout, @blmphilly, @phillywerise, @vietlead, and twitter hashtags #FreeAnt #WalterWallaceJr
philly/pa folks add more orgs & links if you have them!
Before:
After:
The Directions Tree was something that was also called a Spirit Tree, a tree of huge spiritual and cultural importance to Australian Indigenous people. When a child is born, the afterbirth/placenta is taken by the child's parents and mixed with earth and a single seed, which is then planted. The tree and the child grow up alongside each other, and the two of them are spiritually connected. Its a place where the individual can go and reconnect with themselves and the land; a place they can go to seek direction and guidance throughout their life.
After the child has grown up and grown old and eventually passed away, their tree becomes a place that their family and friends can go to connect with that person's spirit - where later generations can go to remember and connect with their ancestor. Its a place of enormous spiritual significance to the Djapwarrung people.
The Directions Tree pictured above was one of the last - if not the last - remaining Directions Trees in Victoria. All others have been destroyed. She was somewhere between 300 to 350 years old.
She was destroyed on 26 October 2020 -- against staunch opposition from the Djapwarrung community, who were not consulted at any stage in the planning process and who's concerns and objections were ignored for over three years.
There were protectors onsite on the day of the destruction, and they were violently removed. Their campsite -- which was an officially registered Embassy, and which has been their home for nearly three years -- was blockaded off and destroyed, and they were not allowed to go in and get their belongings, or their wallets and ID, and any of their other important items.
Children were violently separated from parents -- parents who tried to get through the police line to get to their crying children were told "you can get them later." One protector's arm was dislocated by police. One young man was grabbed by the hair and dragged away, even though he was not resisting arrest in any way.
It's now been nearly a week since the Directions Tree's destruction. Police and hired Security Guards are still blocading access to the campsites and the Embassy, despite the fact that we've managed to get an injunction preventing any more destruction from happening between now and November 19. The trunk and branches of the Directions Tree have been taken away by VicRoads and we dont know where she is.
Here's an article about the destruction of the Tree and the arrest of the protectors. Note: Eastern Maar Coorporation are the Registered Aboriginal Coorpoation who greenlit this destruction and who were bought off long ago, and nothing they say should be given any weight.
There are still multiple trees that need protection. Grandfather Trees, Birthing/Grandmother Trees, scar trees, and a host of other culturally important trees and landscape that we are trying to save.
Please donate to help support protectors.
Funds will be used for food/water/shelterfor protectors, and to pay for fines issued to people who were arrested/charged for trying to protect the area, and pay for other requirements that mean that these peopls can keep protecting the sacred land and trees.
Please raise awareness of this issue -- spread this post, talk about it on other platforms, etc.
Heres a link to an email form that will email various MPs and ask them to protect what's left. Please remember to change the subject line -- often, politician offices will set up rules to direct mass emails straight to the trash, but changing the subject line and/or body of the email will circumvent this. Feel free to delete the pre-filled message body and replace it with your own message instead, if you like.
Here are two petitions to protect the trees.
Genocide is still happening to Australia's indigenous people, and its happening today. The destruction of the Directions Tree was a deliberate, targetted attack. They hoped to break us and defeat us with this destruction. They hoped that by destroying her, we would give up and let them destroy the rest of the area.
But she was a Spirit Tree, and her spirit has gone into all of us who've spent the last several years trying to protect her. We are not done fighting. We've got more to protect, and we will not yield.
The 700-900 year old Grandfather trees still need us, the Birthing Trees who have sheltered 50 generations of Djapwarrung babies still need us. They murdered the Directions Tree, but that's just fired us up even more.
Stand with the Djabwarrung, and help us save these remaining sacred trees.

i am begging you all to stop treating politicians like fandom faves and start treating them as what they are: highly ambitious people juggling several different agendas who we elect in the hopes they will vote for things we support
#do love aoc tho
Iām not trying to pick on this tagger but this is exactly the thing Iām talking about: as AOC advances in her career, if sheās going after genuine political power (and itās not going to be a bad thing if she does: thatās how you turn your platform into legislation,) she is going to compromise. She is going to support bills you donāt like and not support things you do like. Right now sheās one of four hundred representatives and is in a good place to grandstand, but if she ever gets into the Senate, or the cabinet, and even if she just spends the next 20 years in the house, she will do things you disagree with and have to make compromise votes you donāt think went far enough and have to give up on legislation with no path forward that you really wanted and support things that are necessary but make you feel icky.
After which, two paths are likely to follow: she will either be Canceled, because we were all rooting for her how dare she let us down like this, it just goes to show you canāt trust anyone in the systemā regardless of whether there were practical reasons for her to do what she didā or her supporters will just go into mass denial. A few years ago I had very liberal friends of mine decided that gun control wasnāt really important after allā¦ Ā as soon as they learned their favorite congressman didnāt support it. (Because I guess they considered āI disagree with him on this point but support him anyway because the things we do agree on far outweighs what we do not, compared to the other candidates runningā as admitting defeat? I donāt know. They sure were on the gun control train again after the next mass shooting, though.)
And the reason the congressman didnāt support it wasnāt some deep moral failing: itĀ was because he was from a state with a strong gun culture, and he wanted to keep getting elected. This is how representative democracy is supposed to work. And because of that track record, I didnāt support his higher ambitionsā because while I didnāt always agree with his opponent, the gun thing tipped the scales intoĀ āagree more than I disagree, compared to the other candidateāā which is also how representative democracy is supposed to work. Right now, AOC and elected officials like her are in a position where they can support the things they support and still win, but that might not always bet he case.
I admire AOC. I respect AOC. I agree with a lot of AOCās platform. But weāre setting ourselves up for a mess if we keep acting like AOC is a fun twitter celebrity who posts good clapbacks, and not, you know, a highly ambitious person juggling multiple agendas who we hope will continue to vote for things we like.
