It's my birthday today! Hard to feel very celebratory with everything that's going on in the world, but it would make my day knowing that people are still finding the strength to be kind to others, as well as to themselves. And hey, if you have some spare cash, here are some of the causes and organizations I care about: #birthday
Zines are cool, and @npub1psar...j5uh is making one about the surveillance technologies used by ICE. "It will be 16 pages and printed on a risograph printer by a printshop in Los Angeles. It contains both reworked versions of our best reporting on ICE and some new articles for the zine. It will be available at the beginning of January." #zines #USPol #ICE #immigration #immigrants
On this day in 1955, the civil rights activist Rosa Parks rejected a bus driver's order to vacate a seat for a white female passenger after the "white" section of the bus was filled. Parks helped inspire the Black community to boycott the city buses, resulting in a landmark Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public transportation was unconstitutional, a *whole year later*. - - - #OTD #OnThisDay #history #CivilRights #RosaParks #BlackHistory #BlackWomen
