Trump ended the USAID and UNHCR contracts that funded most of my counseling practice and I terminated my Meta and X accounts, which considerably lowered my visibility. Could you please share this link to help me get new eyes on my #MentalWellness #LGBTQcoaching practice?

The Trump administration will revoke the temporary legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans in the United States. The move cuts short a two-year "parole" granted to the migrants under President Biden that allowed them to enter the country by air if they had US sponsors.

Elon Musk’s staffers visited the U.S. Institute of Peace, accompanied by two FBI agents. They were met at the door by a lawyer who informed them that the institute holds “private and independent status as a non-executive branch agency.” Following this, the staffers left.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.
I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
