all I wanna do @idlenonsense - Tumblr Blog

what a week huh?

Here’s a compiled list of places you can donate to support the #blacklivesmatter movement

1. Minnesota Freedom Fund - an FF providing direct bail for protestors and are actively working to end discriminatory, coercive, and oppressive jailing. However, if you see a Venmo account of MFF then do NOT donate - The Minnesota Freedom Fund does NOT have a Venmo account! More at http://minnesotafreedomfund.org

2. Black Visions Collective - they are a black-led queer and trans-centered organizing network. They’ve been raising funds to support the BLM chapter in MN and Reclaim the Block.

3. Reclaim the Block - this is a grassroots organization that is advocating for Minneapolis to invest in long-term alternatives to policing. They demand that Minneapolis divest from policing.

4. DONATE TO GEORGE FLOYD’S FAMILY - here’s the link to #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd support the family in their fight for justice.

5. DONATE TO AHMAUD’S FAMILY - here’s the link to #JusticeforAhmaudArbery so you can support the family in their fight for justice!

6. Black Lives Matter - Black Lives Matter is committed to fighting against the injustice black people face around the globe. They continue to advocate against the violence and killing of black people.

7. NAACP Legal Defense Fund - they fight for equality and justice for black people by providing legal counsel. The work they have done and continue to do is vital.

8. North Star Health Collective - they work in alliance with anti-authoritarian organizations to provide safe and healthy spaces. Their medics are on the front lines helping protestors.

9. Louisville Bail Fund - this fund is providing bail and post-release support for protestors. They provide preventative measures for those targeted by law enforcement and threatened with incarceration. They rely completely on community funds!

10. Twin Cities DSA - they are using donations to get groceries and hot meals to protestors on the frontlines in Minneapolis and low-income communities facing food insecurity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Remember that you can contribute anything you can. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS!

Bail funds are critical in plague times. Arrested protesters – like everyone else in lockup, temporary or permanent – are not going to get PPE, soap, wipes, basic sanitation. Locking people up right now is a real quick way to incapacitate them.

staff You are recommending that I follow a nazi blog I blocked last night. Your site promotes anti-semitism to Jews. Your site shoves Nazi Swastikas in the faces of Jews. It’s bad enough that the Nazi blogs seem to be sprouting up like weeds on a site that claims to have an anti-hate policy, but to actively promote them to people who have taken the steps of blocking these blogs is beyond the pale. Clean this place up. It’s turning into Stormfront. I encourage everyone who sees this post, Jewish or otherwise, to reblog it. Tumblr has been ignoring the growth of Nazism on this site for too long. It needs to end.

I’m covered with “Librarians from Everywhere” but as a former museums professional “Tourists who think we’re the British Museum” really speaks to me on a personal level.
