In response to so many members and followers asking why we havenβt called out the Dodgers and ICE, here is @eltragon.bsky.social
This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy.
Shame on every official who signed off on this. Youβre not protecting children, youβre abandoning them.
Many food banks are also facing USDA funding cuts and ICE fears among clients. Plus: Retail sales, baby necessities, the U.S. dollar, and more.
