I know lots of people are going through hard times right now, but we're looking for help for someone incarcerated without a lot of options.
If you know an attorney or prison advocate who may be able to help or advise please contact me or @deviantollam.bsky.social

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.

This is insanity. People are being pushed to the brink, here. The Democrats had their chance to actually stand up to the Republicans, force them to take responsibility for their actions, and they caved.
If things don't get better, soon? I wouldnt be surprised to see full blown riots.

Let’s be 100% clear:
If Dems cave right now instead of Reps nuking the filibuster, then Dems will be solely responsible for our healthcare costs skyrocketing, and handing Trump pure unlimited power.
Telling your opposition (who is trying to kill you) that you will always fold.
