Every time an org cuts resources to a community, they’re making a choice not to fight.
They’re making a choice about who counts. About who’s a second-class citizen. About who they’d turn in.
RAINN didn’t fight because they decided they could live — with deep regret, I’m sure! — with apartheid.

An update on my reporting from March: RAINN has taken a step further and banned resources for trans people and immigrants.
Many had defended RAINN, saying they would still serve trans people. Clearly that was wrong.
NYTimes did the recent reporting, but did not cite me.

RAINN complied in advance and now people will die. RAINN failed its core purpose and abandoned its mission. #RAINN #DEI #LGBTQ
RAINN, the largest U.S. anti-sexual-violence organization, has barred its crisis hotline staff from referring callers to resources for LGBTQ, immigrants and other marginalized groups that might violate President Trump’s executive orders to eliminate DEI efforts.

Reading the story about the woman in Georgia who is brain dead and on a vent but not allowed to die with dignity because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she was declared brain dead. Even in death, our bodies are not our own.

Yes. People who don’t want to do anything, constantly critiquing the actions of folks who are doing something.
Sit in silence, then. Stop annoying us. We’re busy.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This is genocide. 180 days without treatment for those living with HIV is a literal death sentence.
I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.
A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.
