AIDS activists included many trans women and supporters of trans rights. Many are sadly passing away in recent years, after fighting AIDS for decades.
Even still, one activist in hospice care became animated when pleading for trans people to take to the streets and fight for our healthcare again.

Protect your neighbors on the street!
We must fight back against efforts to dehumanize and disappear our unhoused neighbors. Something you can do is to join a local mutual aid or #StoptheSweeps group, to fight police encampment sweeps and the criminalization of poverty.

On Monday I learned that my transmission died. This comes not even six months into pouring thousands of dollars into keeping my truck running (as no single repair exceeded its value). Considering its age it makes zero sense to pay for repairs. Here’s the link gofund.me/d18e5e1a8

All five of the kidnapped solidarians from the United States are veterans.
As we dismantle empire and the military industrial complex that stokes it, always remember that veterans are one of the classes it deeply exploits.
Being anti-military IS being pro-veteran; the two are intertwined.
