Our electeds handed us over to federal occupation, shipping thousands to concentration camps and leaving family members in dire circumstances. The Immigrant Pantry is one way to express solidarity with these Memphis residents. We welcome your help.

Today the community steps up to help a neighbor in need. Please help if you can.

I have a neighbor who I've known for about six months now who is having some really difficult times and could definitely use assistance. gofund.me/cbd49e92d

About 250,000 Latter-day Saints live in Maricopa County alone. There are hundreds of thousands of LDS veterans, & tens of thousands of active-duty LDS service members are serving our country, some in combat zones right now. They deserve to know why Hegseth excluded their faith.

Not much makes me cry these days. This did. Reminded me of some steps in my journey and the question i keep answering also. I’m staying to be a huge PITA to white racists & christian nationalists. And we need Gayle here too. open.substack.com/pub/gayleros...

“This whole thing boils down to this charade they’re performing that this is only about partisanship and not about race.” @brotherjones.bsky.social tells Kanew & @realdlhughley.bsky.social when he walked into the Capitol it was 2026 and when he walked out it was pre-1965. #Memphis #JimCrow

Taking away the voice of the people - today’s Republican Party.

Ballroom lessons for all!

I want Trump gone as much as anyone. But there is an easier and more effective way. Everyone send a double quarter pounder with cheese to the White House, and one to Mar-A-Lago. Let the magic of cholesterol do the rest. Also request it be fried in trans fats just for extra poetic justice.

Sadly true.

Is it possible that once a man looks at his life, and realizes that he cannot get into heaven, he could go “full hate” on the rest of the world in order to improve his standing in hell? I’m asking for someone in Palm Beach, Florida.

New Rule: No new unprovoked undeclared wars until the previous unprovoked undeclared was has been paid for.

Don’t be a stranger. Come by the Immigrant Pantry to donate to our food drive and claim your Soros ✅ 😉

We set out to bring a little relief and show solidarity to our neighbors in pain. There’s no end in sight, y’all. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

ICE made their neighbors ‘prisoners in their own homes’. So 130 Memphis residents signed up to deliver food

As US raids spread, a grassroots pantry delivers food, medicine and basics to immigrant families too afraid to leave home

Sharing so I can find this easily for reference. Anonymous always scares me, but it’s better to be informed than ignorant.

There are several reasons large pro-Russia accounts are taking over online coverage of the Epstein files: 1. Control narrative. 2. Disassociate Russia from Israel. 3. Funnel legitimacy to their networks. 4. Destroy legitimacy of the files by mixing fakes & conspiracy theories.

Irish national—married to US citizen, valid work permit, green card pending—thrown into ICE's "concentration camp." His story rips the mask off: Not safety, just cruelty. Locked up, dehumanized, family shattered. This isn't America. Shut these camps down. Demand justice. #sheshed

I’ve been buried in activism for the last year dominated by the rapid spread of fascist sludge. My nieces and granddaughters - and yours - are all the motivation I need.

Donna Stern@dvsmemphis.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Think about students, renters, women who changed their names, and rural voters without easy access to records. The SAVE ACT makes them prove citizenship with specific documents or lose their voice. The people already on the margins get pushed out completely. #sheshed

Yes, by all means let the guard take over the playground. Our tax dollars at work.

Indivisible Memphis@indivisiblememphis.bsky.social · 7mo ago

In Memphis children in neighborhoods targeted by feds are afraid to swing and run around at the playgrounds. It’s worse here than you could possibly imagine. But hey it’s all ok coz look who gets to play. @maddow.bsky.social @mlk50.com @motherjones.com www.facebook.com/share/v/1ZhQ...

So this was unexpectedly satisfying. Enjoy.

This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

@maddow a rare business owner in Memphis who states in writing that ICE is not welcome finds himself targeted by ICE, Marshals, HSI, national guard, and police. They block entrances and refuse to leave when asked politely. www.facebook.com/share/v/1VwJ...

The same Joe who repeatedly said Memphis should be handed over to the feds, without knowing shit about us. Fuck @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

Will Bunch@willbunch.bsky.social · 10mo ago

To be fair, Joe (of all people) is really going after Greenblatt. Still, Mamdani won at least 1/3 of Jewish voters -- why give this increasingly extreme voice this prime platform?

This was a good day. Thanks for showing up, Mississippi! www.mississippifreepress.org/mississippi-...
