August, Gus, Goose

I’m currently trans and trying to save money, too. I hope we can all get out and get to safety!

Folks, this is how he tries to complete his coup, by appointing lackeys to run the military and by removing the legal advisors/advice that would obligate them to not coup for him.

Destroying the CDC team researching Lyme disease. Disbanding the HHS Long COVID council. Cutting Medicaid. How is any of this cost-saving? This is not about efficiency. It’s about funding tax breaks for billionaires while costing Americans their health.

Do not be stunned. Whatever he said he would do, times it by 10

This is great to see! I hope I can find a place like this in my community

A two-fer post today! Happy Saturday!

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

Trump directs federal government to restrict access to gender-affirming care for youth The executive order is likely to be challenged in court.

Trump's new EO would force hospitals that provide gender-affirming care to choose between staying open or providing specialized care to a small number of patients — and could essentially impose a nationwide ban for youth care.

Trans Woman Sues After Being Notified Of Transfer To Men’s Prison One of the women sued the Trump administration, alleging the order violates her constitutional rights and puts her “at an extremely high risk of harassment, abuse, violence, and sexual assault.”

NEW: Trans women in federal custody were placed in solitary and told they were going to be moved to men's facilities days after Trump's exec order. Other trans folks have issues accessing HRT.

Advocates fear this is just the beginning.

On Mescalero Apache Tribe letterhead: MESCALERO Apache Tribe P.O. Box 227 108 Central Avenue Mescalero, New Mexico 88340 TRIBE Office: (575) 464-4494 Fax: (575) 464-9220 STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT THORA WALSH-PADILLA ON IMMIGRATION INCIDENT INVOLVING A TRIBAL MEMBER As of 3:45 PM this afternoon, the Tribe verified only a single incident where an ICE January 23, 2025 Mescalero, NM Last night and throughout the day today, I received multiple calls from concerned Mescalero Apache Tribal Members in relation to rumors of incidents involving Tribal Members and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. agent questioned a Tribal Member in a public place in Ruidoso. This incident occurred yesterday. ICE agents began questioning a family standing in line in front of the Tribal member. The family was escorted outside. Then, an ICE agent still inside the public place approached the Tribal Member in Spanish. The Tribal Member responded by stating the Tribal Member spoke English. The ICE agent asked the Tribal Member for a passport. The Tribal Member presented a picture of a New Mexico Driver's License and a Tribal identification card. The ICE agent did not continue questions at this point and exited. While this is the only incident we have been able to verify. Tribal leadership is actively working with the New Mexico Congressional Delegation to ensure that the rights of Tribal Members are protected. To be safe, be aware of your surroundings, let family members/friends know where you are, and keep identification with you at all times. If possible, then carry multiple forms of identification (driver's license, state-issued identification card, Tribal identification card, Certificate of Indian Blood, etc.). Thora Walsh-Padilla President

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.

That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.

This is the second verified incident I've heard about.

We were here 1st.

Mass non compliance is the only way to end this nightmare.

All I do is spit facts.

Does anyone know how to get involved in activism in your local community? Things like protests, mutual aid funds, etc. I keep seeing people say go do this, but don’t know how
