Weather-appropriate clothing is extra important this time of year, when folks are often released from CCJ without coats, gloves, or other warm basics. Help out/chip in if you can!

👉 "In her statement, Ryan said the police’s 'casual distant acknowledgement' of their event led the planning committee to believe that they would not be safe. She reiterated that it was not the Proud Boys, but the safety plan that resulted in the cancelation." twitter.com/IllinoisEagle/…

Getting word now that NO Illinois Proud Boys have shown up in Aurora so far this morning. The community was concerned after a Telegram post calling for a protest against a drag brunch was circulated. Sometimes the news is good!

31 y/o mother of two, Deona Marie Erickson, was killed last night after a driver rammed his vehicle into her car which was protecting protesters who had gathered in Uptown Minneapolis to remember #WinstonSmith (killed by deputies on June 3).

thinking about the incredible number of people who will be facing time from their brave actions last summer, the people who lost eyes or were otherwise battered or traumatized, and what we get is one cop going to a prison that shouldn’t exist. we must find a way out of this hell.
