My father in law needs $1100 fucking dollars to even TRY to stay in the US and even begin to try and fight against being deported and having no way to work legally in the United States since apparently the type of work permit he has is ending in January bc of the change in administration

My mother in law has her citizenship as of a few years ago, but she has no way to support her children (an eight year old, a ten year old, a thirteen year old, a seventeen year old).

There’s literally nobody else in the world but us that they can ask for the money. So my wife said yes and we’re going to put $1100 more on the credit cards, which basically maxes them out!

And as y'all know, we just had a new baby a month ago, and we have a two year old child.

I hate to ask this–we’ve come close to having to ask because of how horrifically expensive a work required relocation was but literally I was skipping meals instead, and without the help of a very incredible friend, I would have had no food for me. (There was food still set aside for the toddler, that I absolutely won’t touch because… she neees to eat, that’s the priority.)

Any money will go towards just trying to get the debt back down or to necessities in the meantime. I’m so glad we’re in a position where we might be able to keep my wife’s father from being deported, especially since my oldest brother in law was deported a couple years back. But this is a real blow and is happening at an awful time.

What I’m trying to say is, if you want to help, I’d be grateful. Please don’t put yourself in a hard position trying to be kind, I know we’ll pull through this.

People are dumping their New Balance shoes after the company came out in support of Trump 

On Wednesday, Matthew LeBretton, VP of public affairs for New Balance, was quoted saying with Trump, “things [for New Balance] are going to move in the right direction.” The company is now facing a major backlash. LeBretton later walked back his statement saying New Balance only supports part of Trump’s agenda.

bruh!!!! D.C about to burn down

lmfao

They shoes ugly as hell anyhow, no loss

the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ need your help more than ever now, because trump has money in dapl and construction is continuing in secret and things are about to get a whole lot worse for natives across the country, tbh.. here is a place with donation resources, including items needed, legal funds, etc and make sure you follow @nativenews for regular updates

Urgently needed: Firewood, winter clothes, supplies to build winter shelter, cold weather sleeping bags

If you want to donate foods: No dairy, no canned food, no flour! The best foods to donate are dried, healthy foods like wild rice, blue hominy, chickpeas, and spices.

Most important is working hands! Thank you!

If you’re in Chicago, the Field Museum is collecting stuff and shipping it out on Friday! They might do another shipment, but I dunno for sure- so if you want to donate stuff, you can take it there.

For all my fellow leftists, be cautious when using social media to organize and mobilize. The United States government has tracked leftist movements by their online activity before and will certainly do so again. Also, for leftists who are planning to organize and mobilize on college campuses, be cautious of who you allow into your movement. Always be on your guard. Remember what happened with COINTELPRO. Stay safe.

*nominates highly disliked candidate* *treats opposition as joke* How Could We Possibly Go Wrong

the fact that trump got all of these votes that it didn’t seem like he had reveals just how many people out there wanted it to be a secret. they didn’t want people to know they supported him but they did. they supported him in secret and it is disgusting.

I bet a Cubs fan made a very poorly-worded wish on a monkey’s paw.

jokes about white people finna be a felony so im just getting them out now

!!!!!!

it’s really funny that people on here would rather yell at kids and at poc/lgbt people rather than confront, you know, actual trump supporters and fascists 

If Trump wins the presidential election with no political background then I should be able to get the best job in my career field without graduating

Me watching the election results in real time
