I work out of Philly and no. I am not a nonprofit.
I do direct mutual aid work. I funnel money from social media directly into the hands or mouths of the local community.
My Patreon originally existed as just a way for people to appreciate my writing but I've repurposed it.
Anybody try fucking about it?
Also
For everyone
While we ponder and pontificate
When was the last time someone was dragged out of your house ?
Like before many of you talk this BS
But blunt as hell when was the last time someone was dragged out of your house?
If donating hurts, please keep your cash. A repost though is actually worth $1-3 on average so if you can't,, please help with visibility
If it doesn't, please consider parting with some.
I have been running a number of mutual aid projects for over a decade. I do rent/food/utility assistance, now renovating a building for safe local organizing
I need help
If you see fit to contribute, consider donating here. No cool perks. Just helping people live

And it's not even that they "expand" the definition. They just finally let you read the dictionary they've been using all along.
Any time you hear the word "degeneracy" as something to attack, you need to hear it in the mouth of the most hateful, bigoted person you can imagine
Text reads, Banned Books are complicated! Let's address some misconceptions: • Library kids are NOT in a hurry to read banned books • It is NOT a badge of honor to have a book be banned •"Moms for Liberty" are not responsible for all book bans •Book bans do NOT only happen in states like Florida, Texas & Alabama •Book bans do NOT only happen in school libraries and public libraries • Librarians and educators oppose all book bans
“Read the books they’re banning. That’s where the good stuff is!”

This order doesn't just ban trans people from the military. It states that this administration believes trans people lack "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" and that being trans "is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member."
People are responding to stress and trauma differently, with very real assessments of their limits .
Folks will be doing different things than you , because they live different lives to you.

Sorry you're a fool
Please explain the mechanism by which my saying Trump would never see jail made it more likely that he never saw jail.
You think I'm focused on Garland INSTEAD of Robert's or the GOP.
Hardly. I blame them all. I watched Congress play the "my friend across the aisle" game.
I watched SCOTUS lose any shred of credibility.
I watched systemic govt failure.
How could I stop that? That's insane
Why would it? My entire point was that the American Political structure didn't have the will to handle a coup.
And it didn't.
I said back during the first impeachment that Trump would never go down.
They'd have some trial, some low level patsies would go down and Trump would emerge unscathed.
This is exactly what happened. We can quibble about specifics but the outcome was predestined
If they wanted to pressure smaller fish, why not one single member of congress arrested?
And no. Speech and Debate won't cut it.
I know all of this.
I also watched every single level of government fail from the DOJ to Congress to the WH to SCOTUS.
They ALL made sure a President never went to jail.
It was intentional.
DOJ didn't even want to charge him for stealing national secrets.
Congress was attacked with the knowledge and assistance of sitting members of Congress yet not one was punished?
And everyone is cool with each other again across the aisles?
Why is this difficult to entertain?
Well... I watched the Dems waste 4 years pretending to try an ex-president before failing miserably on all counts due to their inability to get anything together before he was re-elected.
We all said Garland would slow walk everything and he did.
And now Biden "regrets" appointing him?
Some of y'all are going to be clinging to "That couldn't happen here" till they lower you.
I didn't claim to have evidence. Nor did I make the claim.
All I said is I find it weird that anyone would stand up to die on a hill that a politician didn't take questionable money.
I sure as hell won't.
I'm not sure why you'd presume ANY Congress person wasn't taking illicit cash for some reason or another? Like not enough to die on that hill.
(e) The Attorney General shall evaluate the places of imprisonment and conditions of confinement for each of the 37 murderers whose Federal death sentences were commuted by President Biden, and the Attorney General shall take all lawful and appropriate action to ensure that these offenders are imprisoned in conditions consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes and the threats they pose. The Attorney General shall further evaluate whether these offenders can be charged with State capital crimes and shall recommend appropriate action to state and local authorities.
This is one of the most ghoulish things I’ve ever fucking read.

DEM SENATOR: Well there’s always next time 😃 a hearty “good game” to my colleagues across the aisle as they shepherd our great nation in the spirit of collaboration and teamwork! 🦅🫡
REPUBLICAN SENATOR: Does anyone know when it’s technically legal for me to kill this [SLUR NO ONE HAS SAID SINCE 1889]
We should have punched more nazis.
Honestly one of most chilling parts of this fascist rise is watching journalism stumble around the point without ever finding it like Mr. Magoo dodging every calamity around a construction site.
The implications are entirely clear. They're burning the planet to line their own pockets.
