I've added a 'condition explanation cards' category in the 'browse by symptom' part of our site, so if someone has lots of diagnoses, they can browse through them all in one place. This photo is just a few of the many conditions we cover.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

ICE murdering people of any citizenship status should be a very hard line in the sand for absolutely every single one of us. And at this point, I think they’ve done it seven or eight times if you’re waiting for a tipping point, the tipping point was the first time this happened.

Everyone deserves shelter, food, water & healthcare.
Even the people you don’t like.
Even the people you feel made “bad lifestyle choices”
Even the people who you don’t think “contribute enough”
Every person should have their basic needs met
This shouldn’t be controversial.

Fascism is a force, it is the force of taking. It never stops being frightening because it is never placated. Fascists will never stop thinking of things that you need to survive and live with dignity, that they want to take from you.
It doesn’t end until you make it end. It cannot be appeased.

Re-upping this in case someone needs to hear it going into the weekend and New Years. You aren’t alone— this is the hardest time of the year for so many people, and there’s *nothing* wrong with you if you’re one of them.
The next few days are going to be hard. The fear is palpable. So please, if you’re at all wondering: I wish you could see how much the world needs you. Right now, all that matters is getting to morning.

Defying and dismantling authoritarianism is hard work. If we don't make room for rest and joy, we can't bring our best to the fight.
You're part of a movement that's going to make sure that the new year is better than the last — in the meantime, rest up and get plenty of fresh air!

America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities.
The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.
