Today I made a zine to inform people about the EO that would gut the #IMLS. I was asked to share, so hey, why not share widely? You can download and print your own copies at drive.google.com/file/d/1DUsm....

how did ICE know where to find Mahmoud Khalil, and who will they go after next? I wrote about the vast surveillance network that powers ICE arrests, and the Zionist groups making deportation wishlists for the agency:

Mahmoud Khalil is a legal permanent resident. That didn’t stop ICE.

It's called KOSA. Go to senate.gov to find your Senators and tell them this is bad: Sen. Blackburn specifically said it will be used to stifle queer content. It's also just bad for privacy overall. It will give state AGs carte blanche to block basically any website they want (links in next post)

PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS. I am literally begging you. Everyone should have access to vaccines. Today is the last day to tell the FDA not to limit covid vaccine availability to only people over 75 or immunocompromised. bsky.app/profile/jenn...
Deadline for public comment ends tomorrow. Please tell the CDC that we need vaccine access for everyone, not just a small sliver of the population.
The pandemic is not over, and public health requirements don't magically disappear simply because it would be politically more expedient.

My mom figured out she was queer when I was about 10 and a weird consequence of that is I kinda avoided a lot of classic lesbian things growing up because all I knew was that my mom was into it and that was weird.
