These are literal gestapo tactics. ICE is targeting and kidnapping people in municipalities whose values they don't like.

Great post by my coworker Tasmiha in PopSugar today! "How Iām Reckoning With #Ramadan in an Age of #Islamophobia"https://www.popsugar.com/news/Personal-Essay-Ramadan-Islamaphobia-46186788"First, we need leaders in the Democratic Party, especially 2020 contenders, to vehemently defend Rep. Omar and others being subjected to Islamophobic attacks and smear campaigns from the President and GOP establishment. Second, we need more extensive research on the rise of hate crimes and domestic white nationalist groups, and concrete policies for protecting vulnerable communities from harassment and physical violence. Third, we need our neighbors of other faiths or no faith to take proactive steps to shut down Islamophobia ā whether it be in your own home, at the grocery store, or at the ballot box."

I wrote a thing about having an #abortion! Please read and share."And so I found myself in the summer before my senior year of high school trying to have a normal teen-aged good time and avoiding the slowly dawning realization that there was a reason my clothes were fitting differently, that I ate an entire jar of pickles in 10 minutes, that I nearly passed out one hot day."https://www.womenadvancenc.org/2019/07/22/abortion-was-the-right-choice-for-me/

I've been on here since 2018 and I'm thrilled to see Mastodon gaining critical mass. I'd love to recreate some of the brilliance that I used to follow on the bird site.Please share your favorite follows or instances for #queerdos, #witchcraft, #antifa, #socialism, #covid, #heartstopper fandom, #OFMD fandom, and of course #BIPOC smarties.

I'm going to keep moderating my follows on here. If you have no bio, name, or profile pic that's gonna be a no from me, dawg. But feel free to try again when you look like a person.

Are there any good #Muslim instances on #mastodon? I have a friend who has experienced so much racism and surveillance that she's wary of using social media at all. I was thinking that a server run by and for Muslims like herself might be a safer place to plug in. Please share suggestions or RT if your followers might know. Thanks!

I've been dreading moving my prescriptions, but I can't put it off any longer. I'm going to #boycott #Walgreens. https://mastodon.sdf.org/@dancinyogi/109960345099388438

A lot of people have said they'd like to find something like this as well, so I want to pass on https://absolutelyhar.am which is just the kind of thing I was looking for.

Also, I want to tell everyone that is recommending other good servers run by people not from the Muslim community how silly you sound. I appreciate the good intentions but it's like a friend telling you about racism they experienced and you respond by saying you don't see race. At best it's unhelpful and invalidating. It is also an utter failure to fully see your friend, and a refusal to address the systems that are harming them.

@willoremus To be fair, the poop emoji is their default response to anything sent to press@twitter.com. I'm not kidding.

@stux Honestly, many of us are trying to figure out how to get out. I would stay if I thought I could make a difference but white supremacist capitalism destroys everything.

Notice that the #cops are facing the people with Pride flags and not the people terrorizing an elementary school for celebrating #Pride. They know who they're there to protect and who they are watching.https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireStory/protests-erupt-los-angeles-elementary-schools-pride-month-99795989
