KENTUCKY FLOOD RELIEF RESOURCES
got a very kind ask earlier asking me about where to donate to help victims of the valentine's day floods in kentucky, and i decided to just make it an actual post! not many donation sites are available right now because the flooding is still so new, but i'll keep this list updated when i can.
also gonna link resources for victims in kentucky in case any a'yall are reading this.
DONATIONS:
NOTE: i strongly recommend you use the ones i linked and don't go out of your way to look for others, because there will be many scammers trying to cash in on this tragedy. stick to links that flood victims are sharing because we have a direct line to legit resources.
this website will allow you to donate to a flood relief fund established by the kentucky governor. it was also used during the 2022 floods and helped so many people.
this fund isn't specific to flooding, but donations go to victims in appalachia directly impacted by all manner of natural disasters, including the recent floods. the donations go to helping families rebuild and recover.
this charity organization is a pillar of eastern ky and helps a lot of people. all donations will go toward buying essential items (including diapers, underwear, cleaning products, hygiene products, and more) for the families in need.
another great eastern ky non-profit that needs donations to help purchase food so flooding victims can have a warm meal.
just like they did in 2022, the kentucky strong t-shirt brand is donating 100% of their proceeds to flooding victims and relief efforts in kentucky. in case y'all want a souvenir or somethin (my bad attempt at a joke).
appalachian regional healthcare is taking donations to help flooding victims in eastern kentucky and southern west virginia.
launched by the kentucky community college system, this relief fund will help eastern ky college students and their families obtain necessary resources such as food, transportation, and shelter.
RESOURCES FOR VICTIMS:
a government website with all information you could ever need if you're a flooding victim. as of writing this, some of the info is outdated for 2022, but they're working hard to update everything for 2025.
THE resource hub for all things flooding info. checking for FEMA disaster declarations, applying for FEMA assistance, rapid needs assessment, etc.
this facebook group is for individuals in eastern ky to receive funds for whatever their needs may be. people have also been reposting good resources in here for victims of the floods.

ICE raids are happening.
Any immigrants, no matter how long you have been a citizen of the USA, is at risk of being deported either out of the country as a whole or into what are basically concentration camps. Raids starting in Chicago, Illinois. and spreading to other major cities with high POC and Hispanic populations. The US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) have started raiding homes and families in California.
There are no "protected locations" as of January 21, 2025. Hospitals, schools, and churches are all at risk of being raided, where before these places were deemed safe and off limits to raids.
When it comes to spotting an ICE agent, look for these:
- Weirdly neat/well kept hair (shaved heads, side parts, military burs for men; low buns, high ponytails, close cropped bobs for women)
- Oversized jacket (long and bulky outerwear makes it easier to hide tools/equipment without being suspicious)
- Both hands in pockets
- Many undercover agents/cops buy cheap plain clothes off the racks so they aren’t seen in their own clothes. This can make their outfit seem awkward
- Sweatshirts with the hood up
- Sports apparel (warm up jacket, sweats, etc) with non-sports clothes (jeans, cargo shorts)
- Cargo pants/shorts (usually full of items like their badge, flashlight, taser, pepper spray, backup handcuffs, zip ties)
- Military or hiking style boots, sometimes chunky sneakers (extra points if none of it matches anything in their outfit)
- Outline of a gun in their pants/shirt (easy to see when bending, leaning, or raising arms) (NO NOT SAY ANYTHING)
- Overly friendly
- Overly inquisitive
- “How old are you” and “what do you know about this happening” are both red flags, along with generally odd and personal questions
- Don’t fit in
- Mismatched pairs in public spaces (usually cops do these things in pairs. They don’t talk to each other or acknowledge each other much, if at all)
DO NOT SAY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU ARE 100% SURE
YOUR BEST BET IS NOT TO SAY ANYTHING UNTIL THE SUSPECT STARTS ACTING OFF AND GETTING PUSHY
COPS ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO TELL YOU THAT THEY ARE UNDERCOVER
COPS CAN AND WILL LIE TO YOU
SCREAM “LA MIGRA” AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS
For protesting:
- N95 masks
- Respirator/gas mask if you have access to one
- Water water water water water (I hate to say it, but disposable one use bottles are best here. If it comes to it, you need to be able to drop and run.) Use for flushing wounds, flushing eyes of tear gas, and of course drinking.
- Snacks! You'll be doing a lot of walking and/or running and need to keep that energy up. Trail mix, dried fruit, nuts, granola bars, crackers, jerky/meat sticks, fruit snacks, candy, etc. Think of it like packing your lunchbox for a field trip.
- Eyedrops (teargas is a bitch)
- Goggles (I bring my old snowboarding goggles)
- If you are wearing a t-shirt or have exposed skin, put on fake/temporary tattoos. If you are brought into something and they say you were there, showing a picture of you with the tattoos, show them where that tattoo would be and how there’s nothing there. How would you get rid of a giant flower on your forearm in 2 days anyways?
- Hide your hair. I tuck my hair into my beanie since it’s short. If you have longer hair, try to do the same or tuck it into your shirt. Balaclavas are also a good choice, as they cover both your face and hair.
- Power bank
- Chargers
- Helmet. Any is fine, my personal choice is a skating helmet since they’re rounder and can take more damage, but tactical is also good
- Hand sanitizer
- Gloves with hard knuckles (tactical gloves). These pack a good punch even if you don't have the correct form. Don't have those? Wrist guards for roller skating/skateboarding work kinda like that too. More of a slapping motion, but still hurt like a bitch. Extra points if they're all scuffed up from use and falls.
- Bandanas. Somebody might need one for their face or hair, maybe you need to get dirt off somebody’s face, maybe somebody got injured. They’re great for anything and everything.
- Cash (try to stick to cash, your card can be tracked)
- Medications if you take them. If you get arrested or happen to somehow be away for longer than expected after the protest, it’s always good to have emergency meds
- FIRST AID ALL THE FIRST AID (Tourniquet, Quikclot, chest seal, trauma shears, gauze, bandages, duct tape, and all the usual stuff you’d have in there)
- Good shoes. Boots and sneakers are your best choices. Not heels, not platforms, not sandals. Good boots or shoes that won't come off your feet too easily when you run.
- Spare socks. Trust me. You can use them to stop bleeding if it comes to it, but also you can put rocks in there and boom weapon. Also if the socks you're wearing get wet.
- As much covering clothing as you can handle. Plain jeans, plain hoodie, plain t-shirt, keep yourself as anonymous as possible. Black is best.
- Photocopy of your ID, not your real one.
- Sunscreen!
- Make sure your clothes have pockets, even if you have a bag. You want everything to be easily accessible.
- Do not wear contact lenses. If tear gas is used, that will make everything so much worse. Wear your glasses or go blind. If you have overly unique or identifiable frames, goggles are your friend here. Get some goggles that will fit over your frames, preferably ones that are tinted.
- If you use mobility aids, cover defining features. Logos, brand names, colors, stickers, all of it. Take some old plain t-shirt and tie it around your wheelchair’s backrest. Wrap your wheelchair frame in cling wrap, then duct tape, or plain black self adhering medical tape. Cover stickers on your cane or crutches the same way. Electric chair? You have a little more work, but you can do it. Wrap it up. Same idea. Walker? Same thing. Cover. It. All.
- If you are bringing a bag, make sure that bag is as plain as possible. No pins. No patches. No keychains. Except maybe a pride flag so people know which team you're playing on.
- Scarf or keffiyeh if you have one. They have many uses!
- Write a reliable phone number (of someone who is not at the protest with you) on your body. On the off chance you get arrested, that is your emergency contact.
- Pocket knife.
- Pepper spray/mace
- Anything you can throw. Soup for my family.
IF YOU CAN, LEAVE YOUR PHONE AT HOME
IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT WITH YOU, TURN OFF LOCATION SERVICES ON ALL APPS AND TURN OFF BIOMETRICS (FACE ID AND FINGERPRINT) SO YOU CAN ONLY UNLOCK YOUR PHONE WITH YOUR PASSWORD
COPS CAN FORCE YOU TO OPEN YOUR PHONE WITH YOUR FINGERPRINT OR FACE ID
MAKE SURE SOMEBODY KNOWS GENERALLY WHERE YOU ARE
If you see a potential or active raid, take pictures and note the time and location. Post online if you can, as well.
You have the right to remain silent. State that you wish to remain silent. Avoid giving information about anybody's immigration status. You have the right to refuse to sign anything before speaking to an attorney. You have the right to refuse searches of your car, your home, and yourself. Schools do not collect a child's immigration status.
I do not want to scare anybody, but this is what life is right now. That man does not care how long you have been a citizen of this country. If you are not a white, cisgender, heterosexual, Christian male, you are seen as less than by men in power. You are not less than. You are a threat to them, and they are scared. Keep it that way.
If you cannot attend protests, that’s fine. Do what’s best for you. Even just reposting information helps.
