- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsHi all. I’m working with @ziibiing.com at standwithminnesota.com to get rents paid for Minnesota families impacted by ICE as soon as possible. I’m barnraising $2400 for one campaign. I’ll chip in $25. Please chip in and share this need: V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel Put a 🌻 in the memo.

- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsI don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter.

- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsThe targeting of Native Americans by ICE is so widespread, tribal governments all over are responding. To protect tribal citizens from ICE raids, tribes are holding events to help citizens get updated IDs and even speeding up the printing and processing times.

- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsHi everyone, I wanted to share a research study I just launched on rest, energy, & ME/CFS, open to people with ME/CFS & medical or healthcare providers who are currently practicing or conducting research & have had at least 1 patient or participant with ME/CFS.

- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsHello, looks like independent publishers should beef up our books coverage. If you're into the idea of joining the @flaminghydra.com collective and writing a book review each month (800-2000 word range), please send us your ideas and some clips to hello@flamingydra.com
- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsThe clock is ticking. The NIH now has 180 days to develop an implementation plan for the ME/CFS Research Roadmap. In 6 months, we SHOULD have a plan to implement the NIH’s roadmap for biomarkers, treatments & clinical trials. #MEAction partnered with #NotJustFatigue to secure this support. #NIH
- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsSome great news. My hybrid memoir IN OPEN COUNTRY will now be published by Little, Brown. It’s about freedom of movement and stillness in the US, and the ways capitalism & settler colonialism have shaped (and continue to shape) the answer to who has either across time. I also do a lot of walking.

- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsI don't think it's a coincidence that in the wake of that narrative we're seeing men who thrive on centering themselves in political narratives get mad because their M.O. of parachuting in and doing adventurism is not going over well with the folks doing the work.

- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsSo the commentary on "elites" isn't wrong, and there truly is something horrible about a system that can create hyper-powerful ultra-predators and allow them to operate with impunity. But a lot of people you know have been hurt by predators a lot less powerful than Epstein. They also matter.
- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsIt's really frustrating, as someone who's written about sexual violence for two decades -- always being dismissed as too sensitive, as selfish, as not "really" political -- to have a set of documents which truly show how rape culture runs our world, and ONLY have it parsed as a comment on class.
- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsLook: Capitalism allows a few people to concentrate power and wealth to the extent that even ONE of them hating his trans kid has the potential to ruin millions of lives. That's terrifying. But patriarchy, which teaches sexual violence as an expression of power, is not exclusive to billionaires.

- Reposted by Destiny Sugarbunsfor over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsEveryone should send postcards to the field offices, inviting ICE to eat in local restaurants. "Please join us for a meal. We'd LOVE to serve you up something VERY special made JUST FOR ICE. Courtesy of the residents of Aurora." Make them too paranoid to eat in any restaurant in the entire area.
- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsBasically people love a story with a villain and resist the "yes, AND it's the systems of power that allowed them to abuse people and just getting rid of the villain without tearing those structures down allows others like them to continue to exploit those same paths and abuse more people"
- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsThis is it. Part of why it has been tough for me to weigh in on the Epstein discourse is because we’re really just seeing an extreme manifestation of white patriarchy. The men involved have consolidated an obscene amount of power. But the violence itself is horrifically ordinary.
- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsSomething I picked up pretty early when I started studying sociology is that things that look like grand highly intentional conspiracies are so often just systems of power and incentive structures that connect people who have the same interests Which isn’t to say there are no conspiracies but

- Reposted by Destiny SugarbunsToday, I made historic appointments who will lead key agencies and create a city where everyone can thrive. I appointed Stanley Richards as Commissioner of DOC. Decades after he served time in our city’s jails, Commissioner Richards will now be the first formerly incarcerated person to lead them.
