There are some days when reading the news before bed is super bad & this is one of them. I just really don't want to deal with the haters right now. The bullies at work act like it's their duty but that it makes them miserable.

If anybody still believed Zuck & friends could do their jobs, the new old place is super glitchy today.

As someone raised to be a scapegoat, I am submitting to y'all that yes, there's an idea that being a scapegoat is the secret to love & belonging - but it is a lie. People are happy to accept scapegoats but they will not provide love & belonging in return. Don't listen to our betrayers.

Y'all clearly GAVE UP ON US *DURING* that election cycle. Ferguson refused to defend us at point blank. Harris's all lives statement. Allred thinking he could win if he threw us under the bus. Stop trying to out-hate the GOP. This is a race to the bottom.

Just another trans person begging the only health systems I can access for basic healthcare. No, I don't mean gender affirming care. I mean BASIC HEALTHCARE. They want us dead y'all. They really truly want us dead. (This is a safe state.)

Is getting disastrous politicians elected while appearing neutral because oh, the pages we'll print! their whole schtick?

1. This is a truly bad idea. 2. The people speaking out on it cited below are worried mostly about their own pockets. 3. The people who run hospitals will say whatever about taxes to protect themselves.

UPDATE: A collision on SR 900 at Talus Drive in Issaquah is blocking all lanes. Emergency responders are on scene. Seek alternate routes.

Today, the European Court of Human Rights has published a key judgment: T. H. v. the Czech Republic. The decision brings yet another major shift in the rights of transgender and non-binary people in the Czech Republic. The Court unanimously ruled that making the change of personal identification /1

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

All this...with the caveat that at this point "heroes" belongs in the same bin as "resilience". "Heroes" gets used to praise us for our efforts while the local or larger system refuses to fix problems just like "resilience" is misinterpreted to mean "thriving in adverse circumstances"

Sitting down can also result in you getting run over / trampled / more thoroughly gassed. Please don't. Also...since when do they care that people are peaceful / following the law? 🤷‍♂️

Cosign from Seattle.

DHS officials requested 20,000 National Guard troops three weeks ago. A memo dated May 9 from Andrew Whitaker, the executive secretary at DHS, states they need up to 3,500 Guard personnel to "Attempt to Locate—Fugitives." An additional 2,500 Guard soldiers are required for detention support.

This all day long

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...
