PLEASE REBLOG! THIS IS AN UPDATED LIST!
DON’T IGNORE US!
*You don’t need to donate to change.org, donate directly to the families. Also if there’s a problem with a petition (or you have a petition I should add), please dm me instead of reblogging so I can fix it faster.*
Some of the principle actors of the stonewall rebellion
i know there’s a lot going on but ICE are now one step closer to literally creating gas chambers. they are spraying a chemical called HDQ neutral roughly 100 times a day, every 15 minutes at the adelanto detention center (one of the biggest in the country). people are getting rashes, headaches, their insides are bleeding, etc. the guards are wearing gloves and masks but the detainees have NOTHING. and here’s a quick reminder - america inspired the nazis to create gas chambers when they gassed latino people during the 1917 bath riots.
here’s a petition to sign. it’s close to it’s goal. if there’s anything else we can do to help i’ll update this post.
I don’t have the words to properly explain how horrifying this is. In April, the advocacy group Freedom For Immigrants published a report about unsanitary conditions at the detention center, where the immigrants were made to clean the facilities with only water, or shampoo. According to their report, there were sick detainees there - possibly with COVID-19, but it’s unclear since they weren’t being tested - and the conditions could easily lead to a situation in which the virus exploded among those there.
The guards are spraying this disinfectant in retaliation for the report. To be clear - HDQ is an industrial-strength disinfectant, which according to the manufacturer is “harmful if inhaled” and “causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage.” The guards are spraying it on everything every 15-30 minutes, according to sources, and immigrants in the center have already experienced severe symptoms including blisters, rashes, bleeding, fainting, breathing difficulties, headaches, stomach pain, and nausea.
And let’s be real - ICE doesn’t give a shit, either about protecting these people or about preventing a COVID outbreak. ICE, according to their own reports, currently has 25,911 people in custody, of which only 2,670 have been tested. 1,392 of those were positive. In simple terms - less than 10% of detainees have been tested. Of those, more than half are positive. We cannot estimate how many sick people ICE is currently holding, or how many more will get sick without any kind of prevention or care.
ICE is killing people through neglect, and when they dared complain - they started gassing them.
Unfortunately, with Trump in the white house, petitions aren’t doing much. What we can do, however, is donate to the advocacy group that is bringing these things to light, allowing them to continue their work and hopefully free more immigrants. Their donation page is here. Please spread this.

Now that’s what I like to see, Boston!
“is this moment radicalizing you?”
while i’m here, and still somehow have followers on this website, i thought it would be useful to repost an activism resource masterpost i saw on twitter a few days ago. it looks like the OP (@thebryreed) set her account to private, but i saved the links and figured they would be useful reading & listening, given everything that’s going on right now.

A mi mismo
3:15 am, 16 de enero del 2018 Hola Gabriel,
sé que piensas que debes estar dormido, que después de trabajar deberías descansar para aprovechar la mañana, como hacías cuando estabas en la uni; levantarse tipo 8, escribir y largarte a clases, algunos días (muchos) mandado a sufrir.
Doliendo te juzgabas poco, y te entiendo. En ese país nadie se puede echar la culpa cuando el culpable sale en la tele todos los días y el fantasma de su partido es el unico nombre que aprendiste al mismo tiempo que vislumbraste el concepto de política. Te fuiste porque el mundo es mucho más que amor al arte, es amor a todo, el impulso de irte del país fue amor a tu familia. Deambulaste tus sábanas al otro lado del mundo esperando… Esperando promesas de querencias siempre intensas pero encaradas a la muerte; destinadas a ser fugaces. Comenzaste a vivir algo de bonanza, a beber una cerveza no como si fuera la última sino porque sabías que habría más. Te embriagaste de caminatas nocturnas, de ligereza. Ahí empezaste a ser tu propio juez, a buscar tu catarsis mañanera, a forzar palabras. Te perdiste en mundillos, en recursos, humanos y no humanos, micropolíticas, abstracto pero dentro. Te pusiste nervioso por una entrevista de trabajo; la “pobreza”… el comunismo no te salvó, (si nacieron por la propiedad).
*Chasquido de dedos*
Música, gente, idiomas. ¿Por qué no estabas escribiendo? pensabas, si esta ciudad es tan bella; te juzgaste de nuevo.
Te enamoraste, entre una multitud y la música, ahora ¡amas! Amas felizmente, apacible, con confianza, amas a una mujer hermosa, ¡una mujer que te ama! que te ama sin cargas, que ama con sus ojos, con su piel, con sus palabras, con sus sueños, con todo. Escribiste de ella con palabras viejas, no sabes como decir la tranquilidad. Te juzgaste de nuevo por sentir que no escribías algo unico. ¡Pero cómo! si solo sabes necesitar y ser necesitado, si solo sabías unas cuantas palabras. Te encontraste con tu padre en tu nueva calle, tu nueva ciudad. No escribiste. El cumpleaños de tu abuela Clara. Solo tienes una foto de tu papá ese día; lloraste, de dolor por la distancia y de felicidad por tenerlo ahí, caminando contigo en tu nuevo mundo. Le demostraste tu fuerza a tu tío, tu devoción a tu prima. El verdadero tumbao a tu amor europeo, la euforia fue constante. Y una madrugada te juzgaste por no escribir de ello. Fuiste a la ciudad de tu amor, caminaste calles que nunca pensaste que verías, escuchaste palabras que jamas esperabas aprender el significado, conociste el invierno, sufriste el granizo y descubriste lo bello del sol reluciendo sobre el agua helada. Besaste sin que te importaran las manos entumecidas. Escribiste solo unas cuantas palabras y te juzgaste por eso.
Gabriel… hoy que no duermes, no te preocupes; duerme tranquilo, o desvelate tranquilo, no te castigues por tu mente saltimbanqui. Las palabras siempre vienen después y nunca serán suficientes.
