What’s happening in our Country is an abomination. It’s overwhelming.
At the same time, many people are dealing with personal issues such as loss of a loved one, bad health news, financial issues, relationship struggles, abuse. These are hard things in normal times.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Reports of torture are coming out of the concentration camps in Florida. We must not be complacent or silent.

Reports from inside Alligator Alcatraz echo the darkest chapters in human history- internment camps, Jim Crow chain gangs, even concentration camps - where people are isolated, devalued, and treated as less than human.
This is a moral failure. Let’s keep shining a light to stop this cruelty...

Given the number of transgender people buried under their deadnames by their family, there’s a pretty good reason why we see increased ideation and suicidality but lack data on suicide completions.
The "misinformation" in question here is that gender-affirming care reduces suicides among youth. It merely reduces depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideation.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.
