What is happening to Don indicates that NO ONE residing at Town Hall is safe. Our community has collectively failed to protect Don - a cherished, highly respected advocate who is hugely respsonsible for bringing to life the very place he is getting booted from. windycitytimes.com/2025/04/04/l...

See you in the streets SAT APRIL 5 handsoff2025.com "Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on, and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to fight back: Hands off!"

🚨🚨 The #USAID clap out continues today Friday 2/28! More colleagues are already clearing out till 3:30 pm. Please join groups at the 13th/Pennsylvania and 14th Street entrance of the Ronald Reagan Building. This action has been a beautiful show of support appreciated by so many of us yesterday ❤️

"In each termination notice, organizations got the same explanation: Peter Marocco, USAID’s acting deputy administrator, and Marco Rubio, USAID’s acting administrator and secretary of state, determined the awards were “not in the national interest.” www.devex.com/news/god-ble...

Hey! Where are all the ppl on the left who voted Stein or just couldn't bear to vote for Kamala because of Gaza? Bet you're feeling pretty good about your vote - or lack thereof - eh? You really taught someone a lesson! Nice work. Nice work. popular.info/p/trump-post...

The Capitol Police arrested a group of protesters [HEROES] who demonstrated Wednesday in the Cannon House Office Building against the Trump administration’s decision to freeze foreign aid and lay off thousands of U.S.A.I.D. workers.

Helping to midwife the youth-guided, arts-activated PrEP4Teens social marketing and community mobilization effort into being, and support its onward journey, continues to be one of the greatest joys of my life. What a sweet treat - especially in the midst of fascist madness - to get this award.

How about MANDATORY vasectomies for ALL het cis men at puberty? They can apply for a reversal after proving their worthiness.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

I am in Cairo, where I have been visiting with health organizations, including WHO and other partners of USAID. Trump and Musk say lifesaving assistance is not affected by the shutdown of USAID and support to WHO. I can tell you that is 100% false. #SaveAID www.instagram.com/share/_ogGRd...

The rapid dismantling of US democratic norms over the past 3 weeks – including fundamental government protections and structures – threatens the nation’s democracy, diversity, society, and economy. prep4all.org/statement-en...

Great piece from TheBodyPro - reminding us that gender is not binary and that gender affirming care is for ALL of us. Plus, beyond implications, the article also importantly includes strategies for moving forward. www.thebodypro.com/transgender-...

SUPPORT USAID! Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how USAID would’ve spent that $$: 🏈Purchased HIV treatment from U.S. pharma companies to keep 1M pp alive for 1 year. Tell Congress to youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8 #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID

"Health institutions may be hesitant to criticise the new administration publicly, but this timidity is a mistake. Trump's actions must be called out for the damage they are doing." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Eloon is the most dangerous pathogen on the planet. An evil despotic MAGGOT. No coincidence he is also the richest. Aaaaaand he has an office in Sh💩tler's house - where he can keep close tabs on his puppet.
