The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

The #ICE #budget will be bigger than FBI, Bureau of Prisons, DEA & others COMBINED. $150 BILLION over 4 years. Bigger than most countries’ militaries. Let that sink in.
The police state just got its backing with money that could have been used to build healthy and safe communities for everyone.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

If you benefited from the severe thunderstorm & tornado watches & warnings yesterday, call your Congressional reps and tell them to keep the NWS funded & staffed. Last week, NWS were informed that up to 25% of their staff may be let go - this after they were already chronically 10% *under*staffed.
National Weather Service employees were encouraged to take early retirements at an all-hands meeting Thursday. The union believes as many as 1,000 could leave in the coming months - out of a workforce of just over 4,000.
