🚨 One final #Housing #MutualAidRequest ($0/$460) 🚨 Sensitive
I apologize for continuing to hound everyone. I'm fighting the overwhelming urge to crawl under the covers and hide from the world to plea for help from the #Fediverse. It appears they haven't yet issued late fees and fines, so if we can by some insane miracle raise the remainder in the next few hours, we might be able to squeak by. I know you've all spent a small fortune already on me and my partner, and it's quite audacious of me to ask for more. I'm sorry. I wish I was better. If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can't donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings about it are valid but rest assured you needn't feel bad.

#MutualAid Fundraiser Update #2 and general old man yelling at clouds Sensitive
I don't even know what to write at this point. Every month I tell myself, "Okay, this is the month we get back on track. I'm going to go get a second job. We're going to do this on our own for once, goddammit." Yet my job takes just enough of a physical and emotional toll that I can't seem to function. I can't get focused. I can't get the apartment cleaned up or get everything organized, I can't seem to summon the willpower to go through the mind-numbingly asinine job application process to some other retail job that's probably even more demeaning than the one I currently hold. So every month we only make rent thanks to charity. The only reason we're not homeless is because we're receiving mutual aid. I'm not exaggerating. We would absolutely be on the streets without everyone's help on the Fedi. This has been going on for two years now. It seems reasonable to ask, "Well, why don't you apply for government assistance? Why don't you reach out to local charities? Why don't you handle your money better and quit relying on strangers?" Let me offer brief summary of the circumstances of someone I know to help answer those questions: A co-worker of mine - a single mother with multiple health problems, has needed to resort to payday loans for enough money to eat. She makes *just* enough money to not qualify for much public assistance, and struggles with tech literacy so it's a nightmare for her trying to navigate all the hoops one must jump through. She reached out to the local clergy of the predominant religious faith in the area. It's one of the most wealthy religious institutions in the world, commanding hundreds of *billions* in assets (thanks to a whistleblower for it to even be publicly known), and she is a member of this church. They made her give them copies of her paystubs and her bank account statements, detailed financial information of her (just barely turned) adult son who barely makes anything working at a movie theater and that of her brother (also struggling financially, and will only be their roommate until the end of their lease sometime early summer), and still turned her down. They offered her a couple of vouchers for their church-owned food pantry, most of which she's unable to use due to food allergies. She had to beg them, sobbing, until they finally relented and agreed to cover one month of rent for her and her son (I guess her brother will magically find his portion?) and insisted that this was the last help she would receive from them. It's a perfect (yes, albeit anecdotal) example of why #MutualAid is crucial: people are falling through the cracks because the institutions we're supposed to be able to rely upon are failing to protect us. Even one of the most wealthy non-profit entities on the planet refuse to help even their own members without forcing them to undergo an embarrassing and demeaning process to prove their worthiness to receive help. If anyone deserves help, it's her. She's a sweet, good-natured soul just trying to survive. Yet because she isn't computer-savvy and able to constantly begpost like I have the privilege of doing, she is stressed out of her mind and starting to sell all her possessions before she has to move to a different apartment next month and couldn't afford to set any money aside for deposit and related costs. I can't even remember where I was going with this now after angrily typing all of that. I guess maybe that it isn't always as fucking simple and easy as some people think it is, to be a grifting beggar. I can promise you one thing, however: I'd be willing to bet that most of us posting #MutualAidRequest after request, would really rather not be doing so. I would much, much, much rather be giving back to the community. But that's difficult when your annual salary raises are less than inflation. Or, as I've begun referring to them, "annual pay cuts". But folks like my co-worker and myself didn't "apply ourselves" to get college degrees, so I guess we're getting what we deserve. Except it shouldn't be what we deserve. Survival shouldn't be a privilege to be "earned".

A preacher in Texas superimposed a Star of David over his face, blaming Jews for being "gay," abortion, and low wages. This is the old lie braided with new greed. Antisemitism and anti-LGBTQ+ hatred are converging in the same pulpits. The script updates, but the target remains. Support Bend the Arc. Don't let the algorithm paint the church door to look like a gas chamber. #Antisemitism #HateSpeech #LGBTQ #ChristianNationalism #Solidarity #NoHate #HumanRights #StopHate https://twp.ai/9OUqJl

Today in Labor History April 19, 1936: Arabs in Mandatory Palestine began a General Strike that lasted into October. It marked the beginning of the 1936-1939 Arab revolt, which sought to end colonialism in the region and the immigration of Jews. There was also a General Strike going on in Mandatory Syria. The strikers were demanding that the British Government change its policies in the two territories by (1) prohibiting further Jewish immigration; (2) prohibiting the transfer of Arab land to Jews; (3) and the establishment of a National Government. In response, the British government imposed heavy fines and demolished Arab homes. Solidarity actions occurred in Cairo, Bagdad, Beirut. #workingclass #LaborHistory #generalstrike #palestine #zionism #colonialism #revolt #solidarity #FreePalestine

Agi: 8 marzo, Tajani: Solidarietà a donne iraniane, la guerra rende più difficile la loro situazione AGI/Vista - "E non possiamo non pensare oggi alle donne iraniane, che stanno vivendo un momento tremendo con una guerra che finisce per rendere ancora più difficile la loro situazione dopo essere state represse, dopo essere state bloccate nella loro voglia di libertà, nella loro voglia di essere donne come tutte le altre. Un regime che ha ucciso tante donne, che continua a costringerle a nascondersi, a nascondere i loro capelli e per magari un riccio in più fuori dal velo si rischia veramente anche la vita. Ma un messaggio lo vogliamo mandare di solidarietà anche alle donne afghane, che soffrono anche loro limitazioni della loro libertà", così il ministro degli esteri Antonio Tajani in un video pubblicato sui suoi canali social in occasione della feste dell'8 marzo. Courtesy: Antonio Tajani Fonte: Agenzia Vista / Alexander Jakhnagiev March 8, Tajani: Solidarity with Iranian women, the war makes their situation more difficult. “And we cannot but think today about Iranian women, who are living a terrible moment with a war that ultimately makes their situation even more difficult after having been repressed, after having been blocked in their desire for freedom, in their desire to be women like all others. A regime that has killed many women, that continues to force them to hide, to hide their hair, and for maybe one more curl outside the veil, one really risks their life. But we want to send a message of solidarity to Afghan women as well, who suffer limitations of their freedom too,” said Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani in a video published on his social media channels on the occasion of International Women’s Day.

Mrs Roach showed me a social medium post from a female tv presenter, who is celebrating a big milestone with a photo of themselves from their first episode and the traditional z-list cloud of vaguely related hashtags. Mrs Roach asked "How can she still look the same after 20 years?" to which I replied "she has aged well but she can't spell #aniversary" #celebrity #ageing #solidarity #education #celebration #selfesteem #twaddle

What we’ve seen in MN with middle class white folks putting themselves in harms way to protect their neighbors shows the spirit of what should serve as our path forward. The extension of empathy into action as solidarity. And going forward this is what we need not just in resisting fascism but in all of our efforts.

We need to dig deep for broad #solidarity in recognition that our real power comes from solidarity across all our superficial differences. Our politics should not be based on focus groups, calculations, establishment strategy but simply the value and principle of solidarity in service to all of us, the 99% that is the working class.

  • Universal Healthcare
  • Universal Basic Income
  • Opening the electoral process to multiple parties
  • Building of our movement outside of the political process: Workers in workplaces and community folk in neighborhoods building #labor organizing, mutual aid, self defense and lived, grassroots #democracy at the street level.
