with DEIA jobs being shut down, so many disabled people will have trouble working the little bit they may be able to. So, if a disabled person asks for money on the internet, give it to them.

I really love that this looks like the two bigger #fungifriends are protecting the smaller one.

This captures the feelings of what it’s like having a solid support system. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Would anyone here in the DC area know of local groups or activism resources for an individual to connect into without having any Meta platform? They are particularly affected by housing and food, as well as trans rights, being threatened. Sorry if this isn’t super specific enough

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If disabled people aren't included in your revolution, it's not a true revolution.

Incredible important resource!!
To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations.

Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.

If you need a reminder of hope, remember that #fungifriends eat the dead and decaying material on the forest floor. Eventually the good-for-nothing assholes will be eaten too 🙃

Stay strong, y’all. We can do this 💪

Alright all - I'm stepping away for this evening. I'll be back in later tonight to see if there's any more updates.

Stay safe, if you're trans, stay with us, we are not giving up.

And most of all... these EOs are not law, they are not passed by congress, do NOT comply.

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican.

Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries.

We are not going anywhere.

Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

Just renewed my drivers license for RealID. I advise every transgender person, just as I did with passports, to not wait to renew your ID. Get that done now - many states let you do it online, schedule appointments, etc.

Don't get caught flat footed if/when Trump turns RealID against us.

Please, please listen, I am literally begging you:

I'm a healthcare lawyer who is alive because of Medicaid. I just came from Hill meetings about Medicaid. I'm very plugged into "the groups" — if you're covered by Medicaid, do not cancel anything medical because of the OMB mess.
I would not cancel any pending medical care if you’re covered by Medicaid

If you're in Illinois, you're on Section 8, and your landlord tries to evict you because of the government funding freeze, email me at [email protected]. My cases are pay-whatever-you-can.
