Sudan conflict: USAID cut hits people 'screaming from hunger' Nearly two million people who have relied on community kitchens for food have lost this lifeline.

The freezing of US humanitarian assistance has forced the closure of almost 80% of the emergency food kitchens set up to help people left destitute by Sudan's civil war, the BBC has learned.

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

Vote NO on the SAVE Act! The SAVE Act is a trick to undermine our voting rights. Urge Congress to vote no on the SAVE ACT.

#WSPit

#WIPSnips has always been about growing community.

You all show up everyday (some since day one) sharing pieces of your writing.

Here's the chance to go beyond snips and pitch your work!

More infographics to come, but here's a start

Photo of child and adult shoe prints in the snow; smaller photo of a toddler and a woman with dark hair and glasses, both smiling and wearing snow caps

Footprints in the snow = footprints in my heart ❤️

Finding small joys in a world that seems like it’s on fire & spending time with our Princesa reminds me why we need to keep fighting for what’s right & just for all!

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"

Happy Release Day abrazos 🤗 to @dianamunozstewart.bsky.social & FATAL PROMISES!

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

"“They want to make an example out of Chicago, make it ground zero for mass deportations. Well, I’ll tell you what: we do need to make Chicago an example—of people finding their courage and their backbone,” Leo Pargo, a community organizer, told city council."

We protect our communities. ❤️
