ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time.

But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned.

But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives.

This is one reason why everyone with a bar license should be lining up to do pro bono habeas petitions for detainees right now.

I know so many people who are doing this. A few hours of training and you will save lives and families.

Too Afraid to Leave Home: ICE’s Toll on Latino HIV Care Operation Metro Surge is leading some Latinos to delay or cancel HIV prevention or treatment appointments.

Did you know Latino men have the US’s highest risk of new HIV infections? They are 72% more likely to be diagnosed than the general populationβ€”and in Minneapolis, they are skipping clinic visits for fear of ICE, report @cameronoakes.bsky.social & @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social

Let this serve as a warning to Dems who abandon trans folks and vote for anti trans bills. You will be primaried, and you will lose.

A call script for elected representatives: U.S. attack on Iran: 

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m a constituent from [ZIP CODE]. 

YOU: I’m calling to demand [MOC/SENATOR] take urgent action after the United States joined Israel in launching strikes on Iran today.  

YOU: The Trump administration has again taken military action without any specific Congressional authorization. President Trump has also confirmed that the U.S. has undertaken β€œmajor operations” in Iran and has also said β€œU.S. lives might be lost.” 

YOU: I am calling on [MOC/SENATOR] to call for the following actions immediately:  

- Public clarification on the scope of U.S. involvement
- Call for and support support the Khanna–Massie War Powers Resolution in the House.
- Oppose ANY funding for military escalation without Congressional authorization. 

YOU: Are we or are we not at war with Iran? Congress needs to answer this question, and do it quickly. 

YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS – e.g. Clarify you’d like a written response]

I’m not watching that video st 3am but I don’t need to see it know this is a grave violation of US and international law. From my area of study I can tell you that it’s easy to think the UN Charter doesn’t mean much, but we want to live in a world that values its prohibition on aggressive warfare

Things people with chronic illness wish you knew (but are too tired to explain)
I'm not lazyβ€”I'm exhausted.

I cancel plans because I have to, not because I want to.

Rest isn't a luxuryβ€”it's a survival strategy.

I'm grieving the life I used to have.

Being told to "just push through" makes it worse.

I want to feel better more than anyone else.

You don’t have to understand it fullyβ€”just believe me when I say it’s real.

It’s cold and rainy out, completely gross basically, and I’ve been fighting a massive flare for more than a week now, but nothing was going to stop us from voting in our primary.

NC friends, early voting end Saturday, get out there!

To everyone, never let slip by you a chance to use your voice!
