Hey y’all! I wanted to make a post about my new account @dontspillthefrijoles43
I didn’t wanna clutter up this blog—I don’t I am gonna be writing for the IT fandom anymore. I’ve move on from that fandom—honestly I kept saying I might get back into but at this point I don’t think so :/
But for now this new blog focuses on my specific new/revisited obsessions (Ex: pjo)
Remember to be safe when doing some friendly neighborhood ‘redecorating’! We totally support the government here! (No we don’t, literally ICE can go fuck themselves)
Remember these names and know them well. These are innocent people who have been murdered simply because of their race and because those ICE assholes wanted to. These people had friends, coworkers, partners, mothers, fathers, children, and families. They had ambitions, dreams, and goals that they never got to achieve because their lives were snuffed out, they were murdered. Simple as that. We as a society cannot accept this, we must stand up.

May they rest in peace and may their families find solace.
Please let me know if there are any mistakes, autocorrect hates me.
I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and ignores us.
I am writing these words with tears streaming down my face. I can no longer bear this pain. My wife is suffering from a severe deficiency in vitamins, especially vitamin D, and she urgently needs surgery to save her life. Her body is growing weaker day by day, malnutrition is stealing her strength, and I stand helpless watching her suffer.
All I wish for is to see her alive and healthy. Please help us provide healthy food, her medications, and fund the surgery that could save her life.
Even if you cannot donate, please share this post. Every support, every word, could be the difference between her life and death.
(this list is mainly ways non-locals can donate but by extension offers a lot of resources and places to volunteer in the Twin Cities + there are specific ways to donate time under the cut which can be adjusted to your local neighborhood)

Volunteer your time (under the cut)
🩵Mutual aid
Reach out to your neighbors – especially if you know they are staying home right now – and ask if they need groceries or toiletry items. Offer to pick up prescriptions, give rides, or shovel their driveway. If you know them well, bring them a treat that you know they'll enjoy. Or just ask them how they're doing and let them know you are there to support.
Connect with any of the orgs above and see if they are looking for volunteers.
Connect with a church or mosque in your area. From u/MuddieMaeSuggins: "I know a lot of regular Redditors are not religious (myself included) but like it or not this is a where a lot of community organizing happens, especially in immigrant communities."
Connect with your local school's admin office and/or their PTA. It's ok to reach out even if you don't have kids at the school. PTAs are organizing mutual aid for school families, safe rides, school observers.
🩵Activism
Find an official protest or other event via Indivisible, 50501, FREE AMERICA, or MIRAC. Students at many high schools are staging walk-outs; if your local school is doing this, reach out to school leadership or the PTA and ask how you can support as a community member.
Join the effort to stop Hilton from housing ICE by booking hotel rooms and then cancelling at the last minute. This action can be done from home! The effort is being organized by Sunrise Movement, who are telling activists to target specific hotels one-by-one. More info: SHUT DOWN HILTON
Find people in your area who are actively monitoring ICE and/or stationing themselves in high-traffic areas and ask how you can help. Check for local FB events where people are organizing and just show up.
At minimum, read the COPAL Handbook before you go out to observe. The DFL, Monarca, and other orgs have been hosting online trainings for constitutional observers (though these fill up quickly).
When you see ICE in action, start recording. Be as loud and as disruptive as possible: honk your horn, set off your car alarm, blow your whistle. Let people know that ICE is in the area. If you see someone being detained, try to get their name and a phone number to call their emergency contact.
If you do not feel comfortable observing ICE in person, there are ways you can support from home. Just ask the people who are organizing in your area. I have social anxiety, and I had never participated in any kind of political action before this past Saturday. If I can do it, you can!
Local organizers are requesting that people who help monitor ICE DO NOT participate in 1-to-1 mutual aid efforts, as these can put the families you are helping at risk.
If you have friends/acquaintances who are sympathetic but not politically active, reach out to them. Show them that they're not alone in feeling helpless. Pick a few low-commitment actions from this list and do them together.
In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
My friends, I suffered an injury to my head from enemy bombing. I hope that you will help me and support me in saving money so that I can travel and receive treatment for my eyes.
I hope that you will spread my campaign as widely as possible. I need you, so that you do not cause me to lose my eye.
I need to have an operation abroad in the Emirates. I need treatment costs and travel costs. We do not have money to buy food so that I can travel and have an eye operation so that I can see in my eyes again.
If each person donates $25, we will be able to collect money and treat my eyes. I hope you will donate, my friends by
