Milk is $10 a gallon. If we reelected Trump over expensive eggs, why is this such a different thing? The press was wild about eggs. But egg prices and dairy are still sky high. I want a real press that isn’t just a mass of propaganda. Where’s the running list of infractions in the NYT?
Cowards.

But so many of these horrible policy and protocol changes have emerged first in the form of a joke. Calling the erasure of an election a joke is actually pretty frightening at this point.

I am sick to my ears with cis people saying what a danger trans people are. Something happened in the Information Age. Our brains got overloaded and left the building. People believe an incredible amount of hogwash now.

The danger really only goes one way, FROM cisfolk TO transfolk.

This is what extremists have wanted for years. They wear us down with abuse and gaslighting, shift our expectations, make us hyper vigilant, and then provoke a response so they can blame it on us and remain unaccountable. But now the extremists run the government. We are running out of time.

A complete lack of understanding about disease, risk, and vaccines.
So freaking dumb. This vaccine is so good that it's nearly eliminated cervical cancer in several countries.

The US voted to kill itself off, and 45% of the country is totally fine with this.

No sympathy.

We can make violent land grabs, but the USA grows smaller by the day. None of this will end well.

Everyone be sure to tell the Speaker about this because he probably doesn’t know about it yet if you ask him.

Did we just signal to the rest of the world that they could come and kidnap our president?

Okay, 2026…my team and I have worked so hard. We’ve fought far right opponents, neighbors screaming at our clients, budget cuts, sky high overdose rates—still, we show up.
We run to the crises.
Please help me raise the funds I need to complete our building project.
A full clinic and training center.

20,000 case management and clinical encounters
9,000 naloxone kits distributed
1,800 overdoses attended w/that naloxone
4 office locations in three counties
6,000 square mile service area
People reconnected, employed, housed, healthier, often in recovery
8 bills advocated for or against
2025 done!

In a small purple corner of the country, a lesbian retired teacher tells her social network that her memory is fading. She wants to tell them one last time that she loves them and they are wonderful.

And the responses! Genuine, kind, bittersweet, loving, charming.

We must continue to fight for us.

I read the memo from Bondi that has LGBTQ media in a frenzy. I read it with an eye toward potentially asking my state’s AG office for an interpretation, statement, or response.

I’m not a lawyer, but I read legalese and policy frequently.

I don’t think this is a policy to round up trans people.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Western states have a public health pact, to set protocols on our own. NYC… is doing NYC meets public health.
Kennedy is a fanatical, paranoid, evil, eugenecist. He is a liar and a menace. He should never have been confirmed, and he should be impeached and removed yesterday.

Fuck everyone who did this to us. May they never have a moment of peace.
Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.

The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.

They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.

Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

My local paper wrote up my nonprofit’s issues that led us to leave our jail partnership. While jail is not a therapeutic space, it can help people to attach to critical services at release, saving their life and giving them new chances. But WA State needs tort reform, and fast. bit.ly/4iYm7nO

Much as I loved him, my father was a compulsive gambler. He blew millions over his lifetime, a lot of it at Trump casinos.
He took out a 2nd mortgage and never paid it. For ten years.
Only when it was sure he was going to die did the lien get posted.
Point is, collapse comes late but fast.

Good sized event for World AIDS Day in little Walla Walla, which we hold every year without fail, and with or without government support of this international event.

I know things are frenetic and frightening right now.

My staff & I just try to do good work every day.

We don’t fix, change, or save anyone. We walk with them.

People deserve second chances.

In the process we’ve helped reverse 6100 overdoses and seen hundreds of people find health and wellness.

Honestly, facing contract cuts despite really good outcomes, just because federal appropriations are being erased by billionaires is a very large pill for me to swallow. We are walking away from success. I am stressed.

In 2019, the federal government assembled 13 experts to create guidance on safer supply.

In 2023, the committee provided two final reports. These were promptly buried, and my attempt to get them yielded giant blocks of black ink.

Who silenced the recommendations?
