the best thing you can do right now to avoid sinking into despair is stop waiting for a government to protect people it was never designed to protect. redistribute your time and resources to build new structures of resilience. stop begging for mercy and plant the seeds that are already in your hand.
Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

A woman is dead, kept alive as an incubator. Her family can’t grieve. This isn’t pro-life. It’s control. It’s cruelty. It’s stripping women of agency...even in death. If you support this, you’re complicit. Stand up. Speak out. Fight back. Or admit you’re okay with our girls having no rights.

ICE recently deported two families in Louisiana that included children who are U.S. citizens, one of whom was deported without their cancer medication.

We're demanding their return home to Louisiana.

Four Dems who went to El Salvador 'sought proof of life for Hernández Romero. They didn’t get it. “No one has actually heard about Andry at all since the abduction, including his lawyers and family,” said Robert Garcia, a congressman from California.'

Our client Andry Hernández Romero came to the U.S. seeking safety, but the Trump administration has sent him to a brutal prison in El Salvador without due process.

We're fighting for Andry and everyone wrongfully sent to this prison.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
