Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary.

The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with:

“Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

In the past few months the Trump administration moved to strip DACA recipients of healthcare & launched investigations into colleges providing financial aid for them

Now DHS is urging participants to “self deport” marking weakening protections. My latest: www.npr.org/2025/07/29/n...
DHS is urging DACA recipients to self-deport
"DACA does not confer any form of legal status in this country," said DHS assistant press secretary Tricia McLaughlin, who then encouraged "every person here illegally" to self-deport.

Farmworkers feed the country, but who protects them from wildfire smoke?

Farmworkers feed the country, but who protects them from wildfire smoke?
Thousands of farmworkers labored in fields in Ventura County, Calif. in late January in wildfire smoke. They have little to no protection from its harmful effects.

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking.

This is breathtakingly evil.
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Vimos muchas publicaciones sobre "qué hacer si ves ICE", principalmente indicando "gritar LA MIGRA" como una opción, por lo que pensamos que sería útil compartir un par de cosas que puedes hacer en caso de encontrarte con ICE.
