Graphic reading: Rent support needed for the spouses of men taken by ICE Last week, a van with 9 Guatemalan immigrants living in Queens was pulled over. All 9 men were detained by ICE. Their spouses need help paying rent. To support, venmo @dessida-snyder Leave Venmo note of "Nine Left Behind"

ICE is still kidnapping people in NYC.

Here's a call for rent support for families affected by an ICE abduction in Queens. Shared to me by a trusted friend. Please feel free to donate if you're moved and able.

happy spring / trans day of visibility! in honor of the latter, I have officially relaunched my store for shirts, etc, at otherotherways.storenvy.com, check it out

As much as I do feel bad for the cis women who face bullshit because of transphobic laws can we PLEASE recenter trans women? Who are facing a historic genocide and cant even get you fuckers to listen to us????

can you help boost/share/support this family in the central neighborhood of minneapolis? ICE is still active here in smaller numbers than before, but they’re still taking our neighbors, there are so many folks are trying to stabilize.

this is so evil

It's probably a good idea to listen to the people who were saying "abolish ICE" ten years ago and pay attention to what dangers they're pointing out now and maybe get on board with that stuff too

“tropical vacation sucked, ocean was too salty and filled with fish”

For @comicsbeat.bsky.social, I interviewed @barkmouchard.bsky.social & Shelby Criswell about their new comic, BUSINESS AS USUAL, which is live now on Kickstarter. There’s also an extended preview at the link!

If you were to show up at an airport in a tactical vest that said ICE on it and a temporary Punisher tattoo you get from a gumball machine you could do some real bad shit right now. Granted you'd have to cosplay as a guy with a lobotomy who can't do a pushup.

it boggles the mind!!!!

oh my lord
