after my visit to the doctor today, it is clear that radiation therapy is what has been working. that is amazing news! there is hope. ❤️

i am $2730 away from getting back on track with radiation therapy.

if 140 people gave $20 each, i can get the treatment i need (asap).

please help if you can ❤️

According to Bex's doctor, the radiation therapy is working!

The bad news is they need to pay the $3280 remaining balance ASAP!

$20 from your pocket could literally save their life.
Give it today- their treatment has been interrupted several times due to lack of funds.

Anything helps Bex as they need $2800 to pay for crucial treatment.

$31 000 of the gross amount that they have to pay has already been covered by a grant their doctor was able to get for them, so $2800 is really a small price to pay for a chance to live and to lead a, somewhat, normal life again.

Emergency resources we normally can apply to are impacted by the gov shutdown. So we're doing the best we can to be proactive. But if we wait too long to ask for mutual aid help to get caught up we will end up more precarious and in the deficit.

Fixed.

Screenshot of a New York Times webpage. The headline reads: “Supreme Court Live Updates: Justices Seem Set to Rule Against Colorado’s Ban on Conversion Therapy Torture.” The words “Conversion Therapy” are shown with red strikethroughs. A smaller subheading below explains: “Colorado and over 20 other states have banned the practice aimed at changing the sexual orientation or gender identity of young people.” The page header includes links like “Birthright Citizenship,” “L.A. Immigration Stops,” “Unsigned Orders in Trump’s Favor,” and “Florida Immigration.”

Would you like me to also provide a shorter, accessibility-friendly version of the alt text (like what a screen reader would ideally read aloud), or keep this more detailed one?

Do you know why it's so freeing to be in Native spaces? Because you can finally breathe. You don't have to explain everything or defend your very existence. It's absolutely amazing.

When Natives take the time to educate you please understand it's a lot of work and it's neverending. We're tired.

And I will keep saying that this is the POINT- the reason they won't implement an official uniform for these ICEholes is that they want to enable vigilante kidnappers and both official and unofficial Human trafficking.

Dan Przygoda @dprzygoda.bsky.social · 2d

ICE agents are reportedly creeping around high schools in Chicago. And because they are wearing masks, often not wearing uniforms and using unmarked vehicles this means that ANYONE could show up dressed like this and disappear kids off the streets. This is especially dangerous
