Greetings #fediverse

Update ‼️ for the past few days we are working on our design pillars. All work remains now is the Veranda which’s some concrete work.

I need some help around 250 euros to buy iron steel rods, plywood and red timber to concrete the ROUND ARCH.

Those are the materials we lack to complete the house work right now.

If anyone can help out here’s our kofi link.
Nothing is small.

If can’t support financially please boost.

Thank you.

Three kind folks are doubling your contributions the rest of the week, which means your boldest five goes twice as far for these six families and a camp of fifteen more! That means another week of food, shelter, medicine.

THEN take bold, new action: https://chuffed.org/project/hope-giving-circle

The same is sadly also the case for @eslamradwan1_D_5 's donation campaign
I know less about them, but they seem to be real people experiencing hard times
#mutualAid

@bilal_mo @bilalmohammedzeyada @omarzeyada @dev_osama
I feel sad, but I have no way to donate to the Ziyada family's GFM campaign https://gofund.me/2116c84af
(I tried using hgaza but it didn't work on my phone)

I don't own a credit card

So for anyone who is able to support them: they seem like great people holding onto hope and helping other families survive their hard circumstances
Please really consider helping them yourselves, they and others still need help

Healthcare Workers Freed a Patient From #ICE 🖤

#MutualAid

"When Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents brought a detainee to a #California hospital in 2025, they didn’t know they would leave empty-handed. Using capacity they built over months of organizing, Healthcare workers intervened quickly to protect and ultimately free their patient from the clutches of federal secret police...."

I’m not sure what to say…support is whittling down and my reach is evaporating while I have to be offline for health.

Meanwhile, twenty-one families rely on this for survival needs. Read it back.

Click "weekly"/"monthly.” It’s most of what comes in anymore. https://chuffed.org/project/hope-giving-circle

Some of my favorite podcasters went to Minneapolis. The regular news is not covering any of this properly-- but these folks know what they're talking about.

Both are experienced with mutual aid activities such as the hurricane relief efforts in North Carolina, or feeding and helping refugees down at the border in places like Arizona. (One also has a doctorate in history focused on the Spanish Civil War, so knows a few things about how people fight fascism.) The border work is particularly relevant because they've been seeing Border Patrol act like ICE for years-- out in the boonies where hardly anyone is watching-- and now the brutality is finally becoming more apparent to previously comfortable white folks in cities.

This is an excellent description of what's really going on in the places that are getting hit hard right now, and how people are responding-- and, moreover, what WORKS. Decentralized, spontaneous, autonomous organizing that's springing out of the woodwork!

If you want a clearer idea of how this shit can be handled, how communities react, and so on, this is the kind of coverage we need.
