Unfortunately I am in need of some help again.. I have not been paid for the last 2 photography gigs I’ve done yet and am not sure when the owner will be paying us. This leaves me behind on the last of my rent payment and on my phone bill. I need help with $200 please 😓😪 VNMO | CSHAPP

I have another job secured that I start this weekend, more than likely will not get paid from for another 2 weeks. Those of you who shopped with me, thank you and thanks for your patience!!! I have not had the funds to ship out but that is my top priority by end of January!

regarding ICE as someone who has done some reporting on it and talked to both ICE and immigration lawyers

in different states, there are often different levels of law enforcement with ICE. california, for example, has the california values act and so in many jurisdictions, law enforcement is less likely to involve itself with immigration matters. pay attention to the history of your area's compliance with ICE. it also means law enforcement may not know ICE is around.

ICE vehicles do not have to be marked. oftentimes their enforcement and removal cars are not marked as "border patrol" or "ICE" or anything. their plates are usually "exempt" plates.

ICE officers are SUPPOSED to wear identifiable clothing and gear when performing operations, but are often in plainclothes, even during operations.

for reasons above, it might not be obvious that ICE is in your area or that a car you see is involved with ICE operations. FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES. trusted nonprofits and people who work with undocumented and nonstatus people will often be keeping tabs on ICE. law enforcement in some areas may know as well. find out if ICE is in your area through vetting sources and then keep tabs on them too.

try to provide information in as many languages as you can.

tell people: ICE NEEDS A JUDICIAL WARRANT TO ENTER YOUR HOME--not one signed by a higher up ICE official, it MUST be signed by a judge. ICE may insist that they don't need a warrant, that they operate differently. they are using scare tactics.

lastly, regardless of your immigration status: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. you can access the Immigration Legal Resource Center's red cards page, which can express your rights in a legally defensible way when ICE comes to your door. print some for your community. distribute them to people. they can be a useful resource! (https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas)

stay safe and protect each other, especially the most vulnerable groups among us.

"Charged with" means that police can arrest anyone brown and get them deported without due process. Just getting arrested for any reason no matter how bullshit is enough.

The states suing the Feds part is expensive and dangerous.

This is scary police state stuff.

"Even though studies show that recent immigrants in the United States commit crimes at a lower rate than U.S.-born citizens, Riley’s murder became a rallying cry for conservative lawmakers to adopt stricter immigration laws."

It is going to the Senate now.

Please contact your senate critters.

For Democrats, I suggest targeting the racial profiling/due process angle and the sue the Feds if any immigrant does a crime ever angle., but you know your critters better than I do, so if you can tailor to their interests, do.

Anyone have suggestions for Republican critters? Write it up in the reblog so I can publicize it.

Have something you want to tell your Congress Critters? If you can't safely contact them in person, here are some other options:

Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to the representative of your choice.

Here is one that will send your reps a fax: https://resist.bot/

^Really important insider interview about how the fires are affecting marginalized communities in LA right now.

Some highlights: LA overfunds police multiple times over their Fire Dept to which they had cut funding. A sizeable number of Altadena residents never saw any firefighters or trucks responding. Altadena has lost a majority of its Historically Black community & infrastructure. BIPOC who are disproportionately affected by asthma need access to inhalers, translators, and shielding from ICE. Conversation about homeowners excludes renters without insurance. People need support to rebuild their lives & futures on their own terms in the wake of insurance companies dropping coverage & corporations vying to swoop in and colonize entire neighborhoods. Community organizing beyond reactivity starts with each of us!

Here is a list of doctors around the world willing to perform a tubal sterilization (that is, to tie your tubes) with no questions asked. This list was developed by the public and doctors on the list havent been verified, but feel free to add any doctors that you know of, no matter where you are.

hi everynyan i know i keep bothering you but you all know me, you know i'm a disabled and under employed trans woman in a rough spot that keeps working herself into a bigger disability to provide to her family, especially to a mother who's a cancer patient and has recently restarted treatment.

i know we're all scared for the future in this website but in my country the basic food basket for a single person sits at 400 usd and my wages aren't enough to even cover that, let alone the medication me and my mom need to live.

if you could share this post around or even help me out monetarily at all i would be immensely grateful and keep you in my heart forever

I just read that Donald Trump and his circus took down a website called reproductiverights.gov

This was a website to help women learn about their reproductive rights in the US and to find health care.

This is absolutely disgusting so I’ll share in this post some resources in case you need them:

As we see a barrage of evil executive orders come in, they are not immediately enforceable and will takes months or years to implement.

That’s still not great, but don’t let these pile up to the point of hopelessness. Take a breath, and look community leaders who will fight it every step of the way.

btw now is the best time to keep boycotting. the israeli economy has never been weaker. don't stop the protests or the demands for divestment. keep supporting organisations like the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Accountability Archive. ofc don't stop boosting and donating to Palestinians as Gaza is still uninhabitable.

enjoy this moment but the work has not ended
