My friend Kara, the one currently incarcerated at Carswell, has had her hormones cut yet again.
They haven't done labs or anything on her in weeks.
They've now reduced her to 3 mg a week for her HRT.
We are still desperately searching for legal counsel who will advocate for her. Please help.

No Burbsec East tonight, so you’ve got no excuse to not do this if you’re in the city!!
Sigh. Late in making today's post because job.
ChiSec is TONIGHT. We will be at Kaiser Tiger (1415 W Randolph St, Chicago). I should be there some time around 18:30. If you beat me there, grab a table or get bar service.
Otherwise look for a very exhausted, wizened bobo.
