Build a Moth-Proof Barrier Challenge (attempt #4 of ?).

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

You do not have to go to a protest. You do not have to cheer for a 25-hour floor speech. You do not have to contribute to a mutual aid initiative. You also do not have to shit on everyone else's attempts to do something. Unless you 100% have The Answer, how about letting people try & learn & do?

Simmering with doomjuice but doing two shifts a week at the mutual aid fridge, got a library card, donated to my regional abortion fund, called my congress people, shared some literature in my community, hooked up with SURJ. Something every day. Figuring it out as I go. If I can you can.

This comments section is the first time I've felt even a shred of hope in eight days.

The RFK Jr. confirmation hearing has been scheduled for 1/29/25. The nomination is on shaky ground.

Here's the call to action: Reach Out To Your Senators and Urge Them To Oppose RFK Jr's nomination to be HHS Secretary

Here's how to do that, step-by-step:

Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.

"As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

Guess my 1st post is on #BCBS refusing my recent $50k+ hospital stay. Admitted from ER w/suspected sepsis, dangerously low BP/high HR, screaming from pain of infection, and heavily dosed w/dilaudid. Somehow I didn't manage to get preapproval at this juncture. What now (besides scream into void)?
