if you’ve seen the breaking news that trump just signed an executive order today to end the family separation policy here’s some quick info to keep things in perspective
this doesn’t end the “zero tolerance” policy of prosecuting anyone who crosses the border “illegally”
the only thing this changes is that going forward, entire families will be detained together while awaiting prosecution
this offers no solution for freeing the thousands of children currently held in ICE child prisons or any path to reuniting them with their families
children will still be detained and treated as criminals
this will likely lead to thousands of families being held in ICE facilities and tent cities that will face the exact same issues of overcrowding, abuse, and inhumane conditions that exist in the child prisons
this is not a victory or a solution. This is the administration trying to cover their asses and avoid any more public outrage. They want people to see this as the end of the news story and go back to their lives. They want people to forget the thousands of children they are still keeping in cages in ICE facilities across the nation. This issue is not over and we cannot stop being outraged until we are given proof that the thousands of kidnapped children are returned to their families, and that the policy of arresting and prosecuting people who cross the border is ended.
Pay attention to your dreams from now until the weekend. The summer solstice is revealing new wisdom. Symbols and signs in waking life are also pouring in. The universe has a strong message this week for each one of us, work on deciphering what this means for you.
Any dark and powerful witches out there wanna craft a sigil that will get me hired at the local AutoZone? I am so small and so tired and I would like to get in the zone, please. Thanks.
i made this for you it means get in the zone….autozone
i feel kinda fucked up that im living in a country with a nazi regime and not being able to do anything about it and nothing is working. we need to take to the streets in droves and riot. gather thousands of people. throw rocks at the white house. sprinkle sugar on the campgrounds where the tents are gonna be built (2 lbs of sugar can ruin up to one ton of unset concrete). or throw hydrogen peroxide filled water balloons at the exposed steel to corrode it faster because theyre literally building concentration camps in 106°F texas heat for children who cannot regulate their body temperature like adults
nobody in power is listening so we have to do it ourselves
People of Tumblr, we’re throwing up the Bat Signal.
Though this Administration has vowed today to sign an executive order that would end the separation of families at the border stemming from its “zero tolerance” policy, we must continue to apply pressure and do our part. Families should have never been separated in the first place.
Here are five ways that you can help:
1. Call your Senator and let them know that immigration reform is still needed. Call the Senate switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for your Senator’s office.
2. Donate to organizations that are providing support to immigrant families being held in detention centers all over the country:
The Florence Immigration Project – The Florence Project is providing free legal and social services to migrants being detained in Arizona.
The Texas Civil Rights Project – Lawyers in Texas have banned together to fight for “equality and justice in and out of the courts.”
KIND – Kids In Need of Defense (KIND) provides legal representation for unaccompanied minors in detention centers. They’ve also provided other ways for you to help oppose family separation here.
CARA Pro Bono Project – Help alleviate the cost of housing for volunteer lawyers, as well as sending coloring books to those children in detention centers.
Refugee Caravan – Donate what you can to help detained immigrants make phone calls to their families and lawyers.
3. Contact the Immigration Justice Campaign if you, or someone you know, are fluent in Spanish and can assists lawyers at the border over the phone as an interpreter.
4. Contact Northwest Immigrant Rights Project and volunteer your services as a Spanish-speaking interpreter or as a lawyer for those parents who have been sent to the state of Washington without their children.
5. If you’re a lawyer, law student, paralegal or Spanish-speaking interpreter, contact the Dilley Pro Bono Project for a week-long shift as a volunteer in Texas.
Let’s do what we can to right this wrong because children and families should never have to suffer these kinds of irreparable trauma.

Id like to propose a Working for this Summer Solstice, the point in our hemisphere of the greatest Light and the greatest Solar Energy, a mass Working directing our energies at our nation’s politics, practices, and policies in hopes of spreading Light and Wisdom…. enough to stop these senseless policies of child abuse, highway immigration stops, the senseless rising tide of racism and hatred towards People of Color (whether our own citizens or not), the general turn towards Fascist Collapse our nation has been falling down in the recent past. We stand dangerously close to becoming, as a nation, the very thing we’ve been taught to fight against and the very thing we historically have fought against.
If we can come together and put aside the petty divisions used to keep us separate, I believe we can fight this turn towards Fascism.
I dont propose a scripted Working; I know that the community I am connected to shares many different working Traditions, and in turn each of the people I am connected to is themselves connected to a rainbow of diversity in their world, and so on through each of our connections… each and every one of us has a different skill set and different things to bring to the communal Table, and each and every one of our remarkable and beautiful Traditions is an expression of the Melting Pot our nation is SUPPOSED TO BE. This is an opportunity to revel in our diversities while sharing Enlightenment and the Light of Wisdom; it shouldnt come from one script or imply there is only one way to be a real American.
Solitaries, Covens, Iles, Houses, Circles, Munansos, Churches, Fellowships, Kingdom Halls, Lodges, Clans, Kindreds… we can all come together in common purpose and need. The Solstice is this Thursday, the 21st. We could easily keep this going with those who may only have time to Work this weekend; we can easily put aside the barriers that stand between us and come together.
Will you join me?
Rather than scripting rites or dictating the things I feel people should pray for, I ask one thing; a common fixation point as a receptacle of our prayers and raised energies, a common symbol we all instantly know and who’s meaning is being degraded with every passing moment.
Lady Liberty’s Torch.
Share this post if you would; tag people, temples, and shops. Pass it around if you can, and together we can see how many Workers we can bring together across this country (and we’ll GLADLY accept help from around the world, too!) Come together with us to rekindle real Liberty in this country, as that proverbial Light is threatened with being extinguished. Bring our diverse lights together in our shared humanity, beautiful differences and all.
I would like to offer services at my altar for any who would like a candle lit for their prayers; I ask and encourage ALL of us with stores, temples, or public altars to open them as well to our communities and to those who wish to participate but who do not have the spaces to do so. Small donations to cover costs of candles and supplies are welcomed through paypal to hounganmatt@darklady.net if you’d like to join in the altars here, and I encourage other shopkeepers, lodges, temples, and churches to offer the same.
May we Shine.
I am opening and lighting up my table for this on Thursday evening, and I am going for an all-consuming apocalyptic fire effect with a central lamp and your candles, if you would like to be included. Small donations accepted for supplies, contact for details.
I don’t do much heka anymore but I saw the call put out on FB yesterday and figured I would join in. I’m going to tag some other people who may be interested as well.
forget wanderlust, sonder, all those words for vague dreamy feelings… what I’m asking for is a concise word for the feeling you get when someone makes an assumption about you that’s 100% correct but you really don’t like that anyone was able to make that assumption. for now I’m calling it a fuckor
“he asked me ‘you main junkrat right’ and a wave of fuckor wracked my feeble body”
send me asks. make me tremble with fuckor
Someone walked up to me in Barnes and Noble like 4 years ago and asked me where the Manga section was. I told them where, but I also let them know that i didn’t work there. They kind of shrugged then looked me dead in the eyes and said.
“Idk, you just looked like you might know.”
I changed my complete aesthetic after hearing that come to jesus, god fearing, exposé of a line.
The other day my manager admitted that she still shops at hot topic, and when I told I knew already because she seemed like the type she threatened to fire me
Activate my fuckor in my inbox
I want to experience fuckor too. Send an assumption about me to confirm or deny to the best of my ability
