There's a lot happening right now, but this week, Republicans unveiled some new changes in their Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill and snuck in a provision that would allow them to SELL OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS.   No way. Our public lands are NOT for sale.   Help me spread the word.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

It was bound to happen but it’s still so upsetting. Imagine any other life saving care being withdrawn from the hospital. How much longer will other hospitals hold out? Seattle Children’s is still limiting surgery to only those over 19. But only if they are trans. Cis boys can still get top surgery

The administration and the GOP have clearly signaled that anyone who is not MAGA is the enemy. You cannot “liberate” Americans from their elected officials just because you don’t like them and their policies.

Who could have known? Besides anyone who has looked at the actual data for the past decade. Or personally knows anyone who has transitioned.

LAPD said in the summer of 2020 that they can handle one large protest of 10k but they cannot handle ten protests of 1k. Do with that information accordingly
