U.S. Senator from California arrested and handcuffed during DHS briefing when he asked a question.

The Republican Administration did this in a room full of dozens of cameras. Most of which obediently continue to record the speech.

ICE just deported a US citizen child who has metastatic cancer, and they did so in full knowledge of the child's condition and without providing access to needed medicine.

hi, cis folks!

the comment period for the proposed rule to remove trans care from the ACA as an essential health benefit is open til april 11. it'd strip care from DACA recipients, too.

context & guidance in the thread. do it while you’re still fired up from/about protests.

only 4.5 days left!
hi, cis folks!

if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.

~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.

that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

18 hour filibuster, and counting. I tried to call Cory Booker's office to thank him, and the congressional switchboard was down. I tried his office in NJ, and his mailbox was full and I got a Cisco Systems error message.

So I called MY senators to say "Thank You!"

Musk-rat, who was not elected to anything, nor approved for any post by Congress, has taken a bunch of college students with no security clearance and just let them have access to sensitive government records.

So, do we call this a data breach or a coup?

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action.

If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

Hey, friends. Watching stories about plucky heroes is ever so much more fun than BEING the plucky heroes. But, here we are.

No matter how small you are, and how much you would rather be enjoying second-breakfast, you have a part to play. And that starts with Love and Fellowship.
