I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

I just got a call from a friend at Health & Human Services telling me that information about transgender care and transgender protections is being wiped from the HHS website.

She didn’t know who to tell. I suggested @chasestrangio.bsky.social at the ACLU. Who else? @erininthemorning.com ?

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

Trump invites nearly all federal workers to quit now, get paid through September Through an email blast, federal workers were given the opportunity to resign from their jobs before Feb. 6 and retain full pay and benefits through Sept. 30.

This is stupid

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.

It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Trump order aims to end federal support for gender transitions for those under 19 President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at cutting federal support for gender transitions for people under age 19.

Breaking news: the party of “parents’ rights” blocks parents’ right to make health care decisions in consultation with their child’s doctor.

Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)

It should go without saying at this point, but be careful what you post on social media, especially if you live somewhere like Florida.

Matt Gaetz has now removed more criminal insurrectionists from Congress in 1 day than Merrick Garland did in 4 years.

Ouch. But he has a point.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

This is AI.

Comfort time.

I need, NEED y’all to take a deep breath, remember to keep living, and take an honest assessment of what you’re going to do to exist & resist in this new future.

Your joy is resistance. Your persistence is resistance. Your life is resistance.

Don’t just lay down and wail at the sky. Get. Up. (2/2)

Y’all. I know the world is scary right now. It’s pretty dark.

But if you give in to doom and gloom and fear and give up before the man has even taken office…you’re handing them victory before they’ve even fired the first shot. (1/2)
