...The piece has a wavy rainbow stretched across the back that overlaps reminding us that queerness is a spectrum. Text at the top reads “Alt queer people are the future"

...Next to them is a black trans nonbinary person in a red jacket with patches and buttons and a rainbow skirt. They are also wearing striped tights, combat boots and staring off into the top right corner....

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Share your veggies, 🍅 share your seeds, 🌱 share your knowledge. 🧠

Urgent info about wavering Dem Senators

open.substack.com/pub/chopwood...

As I watch Democrats fold on rights for marginalized groups, it kind of makes me want to scream.

If you are willing to give any group up, I don’t trust you and I don’t want to know you.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

I never thought the food of my childhood, bagels and strawberries, would be so comforting as an adult.
