ICE has been seizing people in Allston. Boston area folks, spread the word about the LUCE hotline to report ICE sightings. And here's stickers you can print and put up anywhere:

This is a great resource in precarious times.

Tried it for my city and it pulled up all the things I know about + more I didn’t. It finds food pantries, but also stuff like legal help and housing assistance.

For those of us more fortunate, great way to find volunteer and donation opportunities.

hi, cis folks!

if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now.

the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE.

we need you to call senators: reps.fyi

more info & script downthread.🧵
NEWS: House Appropriations Committee Republicans released their spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. The legislation would prohibit taxpayer dollars for any type of gender-affirming care for transgender people. This would include programs like Medicaid

this is excellent work & contains call/email templates at the end with callouts for the specific legislative mechanisms democratic senators could use to kill this part of the bill.

read the piece. make the calls. there’s no earthly reason any senator’s phone should stop ringing in the near future.

But if there's one thing I've realized after a lot of therapy?

It's as terrible as all of this was, I have a platform to say something. I have a platform to do something.

So goal one? Changing how this penal code is being applied by local PD, and I'm going to need your help if you're in CA.

Incredible thread - full of practical info about the process that shows where we can stop these marauders. Please read, and keep on calling your reps (whom you can find at reps.fyi).
House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt

People fuck up, but Wild Coast Raw is literally killing cats and declining to take ANY responsibility for it.

My COMPLETELY INDOOR cats ate batch 22660. They are still acting like the bird flu results were fake.

My stud who does not eat raw was negative.

This WILL kill cats. This is evil.
