George Floyd should always be remembered, and there's no 90s without D'Angelo. May they both rest in eternal peace. May their families be blessed with health, peace, and strength to deal with the grief and pain. 🕊

I don't want to ever have to come here to tell y'all that Zay has perished due to lack of meds, LC complications and lack of shelter.

It doesn't have to be that way, but it almost happened recently.

Please, who can chip in? Who can amplify often?

Zay has been in and out of the hospital and UCC with LC complications. They have been trying to reach a week or two goal since their hospital discharge to stay housed. 43 would at least cover today due by noon. Any aid is appreciated, including amplifying.

Zay has been in and out of the hospital and urgent care with long cov¡d complications and has been trying to reach a week or two since their hospital discharge to stay sheltered, food, and necessities.

450 weekly rate is the cheapest vs the 80 daily rate. 43 would at least cover today due by noon to remain h0used. Any aid is greatly appreciated, including amplifying.

Progress, even if it's gradual increments, not perfection. Keep doing the best you can, but please stay.

Whether you choose to come out to everyone or one person, what matters the most is that you accept and love yourself. Your story matters whether you choose to share it or not. For some, not telling everyone is safety and survival, and that's okay too. You're still worth it. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Huge mistake by Trump to let the 4'10 freak Stephen Miller take center stage during his Presidency. The more people hear and see from Mini Himmler the more they are repulsed. Plus the ICE raids are horrific and inhumane.

Trump and Republicans are holding up the government to push the “Big Beautiful Bill,” which funnels billions to ICE and bureaucracy while cutting funding for healthcare, education, and essential services. Ordinary Americans get left behind.

They know they won't be in power forever. So, they're breaking as much as they can right now, in the hope that whoever follows them won't be able to put it all back together.

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.”
Among those RIFd:

Here’s the music video btw. Bro was listening to a song about lighting joints & getting high & now it’s being used against him as evidence to show he started one of the biggest fires in recent history. The media is buying this?
