Fifteenth century tarot cards, possibly the oldest known deck. Look how beautiful they are! These are from way back before they were used for cartomancy.

Gazan Fundraisers

These are the fundraisers that folks have consistently reached out to me about. As I should be gone for a bit, I'll have this queued up once a day for sharing 🙏🏾

Fadel ( @fadel-dani )

Mahrah ( @mahrahpalestine )

Ibrahim ( @aburakhiaibrahim )

Zeina ( @zinaanqar16 )

Nader ( @abdalsalam2000 )

Ahmed ( @ahmedaldaniii )

Ghada ( @ghadanabil2 )

Esraa and Qais ( @save-the-child-qais )

Nour ( @nooralanqar3 )

Just take a second to look at the page, share their pinned and maybe even donate to one of them! Their GFMs are directly linked with their names.

Remember: You might not be able to fix EVERYTHING, but you can DO SOMETHING. I know y'all hate "guilt trips", but let's be honest with ourselves: the reality is that even by donating the bare minimum here you will have done SOMETHING, SOMETHING good, other than watch Gazans starve to death and claim "there was nothing you could do" later on. Because there would have been something you could have done, you knew that, you made a choice. You don't have to sit with that on your spirit! Guilt is ineffectual against action!

Donate if you can, share if you cannot 🙏🏾

Texas, Florida hit with far more ICE arrests than California. But that's not the whole story

California arrests lag behind states such as Texas and Florida, because those states started with more arrests. They also have a stronger re

Some immigration experts and community activists cite the organized resistance in L.A. as another reason the numbers of ICE arrests were lower in California than in Texas and even lower than dozens of states by percentage of population.

“The reason is the resistance, organized resistance: the people who literally went to war with them in Paramount, in Compton, in Bell and Huntington Park,” said Ron Gochez, a member of Unión del Barrio Los Angeles, an independent political group that patrols neighborhoods to alert residents of immigration sweeps.

“They’ve been chased out in the different neighborhoods where we organize,” he said. “We’ve been able to mobilize the community to surround the agents when they come to kidnap people.”

In L.A., activists patrolled the streets from 5 a.m. until 11 p.m., seven days a week, Gochez said. They faced off with ICE agents in Home Depot parking lots and at warehouses and farms.

“We were doing everything that we could to try to keep up with the intensity of the military assault,” Gochez said. “The resistance was strong. … We’ve been able, on numerous occasions, to successfully defend the communities and drive them out of our community.”
