DFA ‘monitoring developments’ amid reports of alleged China spies in PH

Here at the Anarchist Black Cross Portland’s Running Down the Walls 5k where Eric King is reading a statement from our beloved Alissa. The statement is as follows:

“i am a descendent of generations of arab women who have sacrificed their lives for the resistance and to provide a better life for their children. i am a descendent of generations of antifascists who sacrificed their lives to protect their community. this is the foundation of my resilience, of my resistance, of my commitment to my community. we must all reclaim the power of resilience of our ancestors. it’s harrowing to witness the way in which fascism is rising globally right now. in fact, there’s nothing that keeps me awake at night the way the thought of that does. but while that’s happening, we’re also experiencing a global resistance. people are rising up against fascism, white supremacy, and all systems of domination, and the ways they collude and build upon one another in service of the ruling class. those who attended my trial witnessed me explain and defend my unwavering antifascist ideology and political beliefs for close to four hours. it wasn’t about what happened that day, so much as it was about who i am and what i stand for. i don’t think anyone hearing this needs a reminder of not only what the state is wiling to do to us, but actively seeking reasons to. what the state doesn’t understand is that political prosecutions don’t quell decent, but rather it ignites the rage that sparks from the deepest embers of our soul. as i have come to rely on my friends, family, and community more and more recently, i am reminded that just as much as we need to burn the system down, we must also build each other up, for we have nothing if not each other. i love you and i will see you soon.”

Hey friends,

My disability benefits ended in January. My fiancee and I only live on it and the administration didn't answer for the renewal yet, so we're without income for another month.

We estimate we'll need at least 980€ to survive in March, for rent, power, food, meds etc.

If you can and want to help us and our three pets, that'd be really appreciated.

Thank you so much if you do!

Hey friends,

My disability benefits ended this month, my fiancee and I only live on it and the administration didn't answer for the renewal yet, so we'll lose our only income at least for February.

We estimate we'll need ~980€ in February.

I also have to pay for my grandpa's inheritance fees asap, it's 4136€.

Politicians want us to forget that when they went after trans people and drag queens as threats to children, all it revealed was a fuck ton of cis white men that were sexual predators.

No, I’m not going to let that go.

Every once in a while, a guy presses me about my experience as a woman in tech, expecting something rosy.

I say: "Imagine that all your same-gender peers for the first 15 years of your career…were not there. That was my experience."

You'd be astonished at the pushback I get because it is just so hard for them to conceptualize so many people in their career just vanishing.

That's how it is for women and many people of color in tech.

Remember how helpful the book, "What to Expect When You're Expecting" was during pregnancy? They should make an entire series for all types of life events.
