It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.
Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.
This is dangerous & disappointing.

The cruelty is the point.
Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago spent nearly two months in ICE detention—despite having protection under DACA—until a federal judge ruled that the government had no reason to keep her in custody and ordered her release.
DHS is still vowing to "explore every available option to remove" her. My latest:

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?
Negotiating a budget deal? No.
Preventing premiums from doubling? No.
Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.
He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.

The ICE raids, the Guard deployments, the fear — it’s all real.
But I can’t shake the feeling that Trump pushed too far too fast.
People are waking up. Judges are pushing back.
Maybe this isn’t the end of democracy — maybe it’s the moment it remembers to fight back.
