ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

In honor of men's mental health month,can we talk about the effects of poverty on mental health? Or are we just going to say "you matter 💚" and move on with our lives?

Ok so more than likely not going to the family’s for the holiday because of snow so if anybody can help us get a few groceries to have our own holiday we’d be super grateful! Anything helps! $BlueEyedAshh or BlueEyedAshh or @/AshleySpend 💸💕

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

I wish I could feel hopeful. At least maybe future generations will have it better?
In a massive backlash against MAGA fascism, Democrats have now swept school board elections in Pennsylvania, Texas and Ohio and defeating all terrorist Moms For Liberty candidates in the process. Much more of this please, we have a democracy to rescue. 💙👊

November 21st. #HelpFolksLive2025 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

It’s #TransDayofRemembrance, a day where we mourn and honor the people who have been murdered just for being trans. Today is also a day where we recognize that, despite threats of violence and discrimination, the trans community still continues to thrive.

It turns out that the folks at Anthropic used two of my books to train their Large Language Models. I've gone and submitted my claim via the class action settlement. If you're an author whose work has been stolen, you should too
