This is a list of resources that will not report you /srs) Obviously, the bigger issues are things like housing, food, discrimination, etc, but if you need a life vest while we're still working on fixing the system, here they are.

Usually I pride myself on how well I can write, but today there are no words to describe the depth and intensity of my loathing for ICE and every single person who enables them, whether they are directly aiding them or simply complacent.

Fuck ICE, and fuck anyone who doesn't agree with that. They can all rot in hell.

‘How is this possible?’: a new film looks inside the appalling abuses of the Alabama prison system

In the year’s most shocking documentary The Alabama Solution, prisoners share astonishing footage in a plea for help

Co-directed by Jarecki and Kaufman using a decade’s worth of evidence covertly filmed by incarcerated men, the two-hour film reveals a gallingly corrupt system rife with unchecked abuse, forced labor and unimaginable cruelty, and documents prisoners’ herculean efforts, under constant physical threat, to improve conditions deemed “unconstitutional” by the US justice department in 2020.

The footage is ghastly: rat-infested cells, piles of human waste, rotting food and blood-streaked floors; routine officer beatings and men carried out in body bags; hallways of men near-catatonic on drugs sold by officers.

It recently discovered the power of the post office and I need you all to know that it fucking rules.

I can just. Send things. To people. For almost nothing???? So long as I know where to send it????

I can make sudoku and just give it to my friend. I can doodle on a piece of paper and send it half way across the country. And all I gotta do is pay for the cool sticker with really cool art!!!!

"SOME STUFF IF YOURE STUGGLING TO FIND WORDS FOR THIS

"I urge you to recount the election and investigate election interference. Bomb threats have been called into multiple polling locations. Domestic terrorists have burned ballot boxes. Ballots are being discarded. An investigation and recount for this election is urgently needed."

OR

" I am a concerned citizen, and I need you to hear me. I urge you to recount the ballots from this election and investigate election interference. Bomb threats have been called into multiple polling locations, causing some to close early. Domestic terrorists have burned ballot boxes. An unprecedented number of ballots have been rejected and require curing. There have been reports of polling officers allowing voter intimidation in and outside of polling places across the country. And an estimated 20 million mail in ballots are unaccounted for. A thorough investigation and recount for this election is urgently needed. Please take action, all votes cast should be heard. Thank you. "

OORRRR

"As of the 6th of November 2024, there have been at least 32 fake bomb threats called into democrat leaning polling locations, which ended up in many polls to have been closed for at least an hour. Many people have reported that ballots were not counted for suspicious reasons such as signature invalidation which is information that vote counters do not have access to. These events have occurred in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia, for instance. This is very coincidental and is unfairly in favor of candidate Donald Trump's favor after months of suggesting electoral foul play. A recount of the votes is not enough. Launch an investigation on tampering, interference, and fraud." "
