@zlikeinzorro.bsky.social - Just finished Convergence (I'm super behind on Star Wars reading 😭😭). I absolutely loved this story, thank you! It's up there with my favourite High Republic novels! It's in the top 2, for sure! It's a toss up against Fallen Star! I can't decide right now!

Photograph of a warehouse in Kinshasa where unboxed tuberculosis medications are going undistributed due to the stop work order by the Trump Administration.
Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.
TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)
Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age.
This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO.
Docs to come.
People care. People are fighting. Please don't think that no one cares. Please fight back where you can.
Maybe you can't march. Call your reps. Reach out to local orgs to volunteer, or donate what you have. Build ties in your community. There is something you are good at. Use it to fight for good.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

I'm about to drop some random scripts and carousels tonight. It's not going to be as orderly as I normally am; there's just a LOT going on.
But follow this thread. Script 1: RFK has made it through committee. CALL. YOUR. SENATORS.
We have to do everything in our power to defeat him.
