im remaking this post because the other one didnt really get any attention.
my dad died suddenly when his cancer came back and left my physically disabled mom in massive debt.
her dentures snapped and are not repairable and now on top of her poor mobility, her jaw is in excruciating pain CONSTANTLY. im paying her bills on top of my own and i only make 7.50/hr so the only hope of getting a new pair of dentures for her is donations.
[paypal.me] or my paypal email: phyxate123@gmail.com
my cashapp is $kouha
donating via paypal or cashapp will avoid the fee gofundme takes out of donations.
UPDATE, PLEASE READ:
we have found a place that costs far less than our initial expectations. for 500 more dollars they will repair the upper piece and completely remake the bottom piece. the gofundme goal is accurate, so it will need to reach 1000 before we can get the dentures(however, donations via paypal and stuff wont be shown on the gofundme so ill just shut it down if i reach it before then and any excess will go to her meds or groceries). this is way better than the cost of completely remaking both pieces, which was around 3000 USD last time.
WHAT TO DO AT AN ICE CHECKPOINT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A WHITE CITIZEN
(please, please, please copy, paste, and share widely):
-Border Patrol can verify citizenship within 100 miles of a border or “external boundary.” This includes coastlines so NYC is within the 100-mile zone.
-Border patrol can only ask brief questions about citizenship, and they cannot hold you for an extended time without cause.
-You always have the right to remain silent. You do not need to answer their questions.
-***WITH THAT SAID, IF YOU ARE A BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE WHITE, YOU NEED TO SPEAK THE FUCK UP.***
-The most important acts of resistance are the small ones. Make it difficult and uncomfortable for ICE agents to do their jobs. They are counting on citizens to turn a blind eye and allow them to deport undocumented citizens without challenge. Disabuse of that notion.
-If you are on a train, bus, or anything else and ICE or CBP boards, you need to stand up and loudly let everyone know that they have the right to remain silent or only answer questions in the presence of an attorney, no matter their citizenship or immigration status. There have been numerous reports that confronting the agents in this way has caused them to leave without verifying citizenship. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES.
-If you see anyone being held up by immigration, loudly ask if they are being detained and if they are free to go.
-Immigration officers cannot detain anyone without reasonable suspicion, an agent must have specific facts about you that make it reasonable to believe you are committing or committed, a violation of immigration law or federal law.
If an agent detains you, you can ask for their basis for reasonable suspicion, and they should tell you.
-Always say no to a search and let everyone know that they can and should refuse consent to a search.
-They cannot search or arrest anyone without facts about that make it probable that they are committing, or committed, a violation of immigration law or federal law.
-Silence alone meets neither of these standards. Nor does race or ethnicity alone suffice for either probable cause or reasonable suspicion
-As white citizens, we have a level of privilege which protects us from retaliation from ICE for being “rude” and making a scene, which makes it our DUTY to speak up and make sure people without the same privilege know their rights. GET LOUD. YELL. YELL IN SPANISH IF YOU KNOW IT. LET PEOPLE KNOW THEY DON’T HAVE TO SAY SHIT. MAKE ICE UNCOMFORTABLE. THROW SAND IN THE GEARS OF WHITE SUPREMACY.
BONUS INFO:
-It is perfectly legal to record immigration agents as long as you are not on government property or at a port of entry. If your train/bus gets board, pull your phone out and start videotaping immediately.
-If you are detained or see someone getting detained, get the agent’s name, number, and any other identifying information. Get it on tape.
-Contact the ACLU if you see someone’s rights being violated.
Make it difficult and uncomfortable for ICE agents to do their jobs.
When I came to camp I discovered there were a few other separate camps sharing lodgings with us, which makes sense, but the last thing I expected was for a horde of trombonists from the International Trombone Festival to show up en masse on the second day lol
Everyone’s talking about House Martins and their fuzzy pants, so I painted over them to make them into griffons. The Common House Griffon (original photo credit is to Steve Robinson)
I SCREAMED AT THIS LIKE AN IDIOT THINKING IT WAS REAL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
