🚨 Voices for Freedom and Local Elections 🚨 Last local elections VFF encouraged people to run for local council. Their plan was semi-successful, electing dozens of councillors and board members. This time around, they're far more organised. Read: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360... /1

Here’s an update on Barbara Marques from her husband Tucker May. If you’d like to help, contact your reps, especially if you live in California. There’s an easy script on this gofundme: www.gofundme.com/f/help-barba...
This update just came in from Tucker: "Barbara was able to call me today — she is currently somewhere in Arizona but will be moved again soon (we are not sure where). She is being denied medical equipment needed for a chronic back issue and even ibuprofen. She and the other detainees she’s with are going 12+ hours without food. We know she is still in the US but not much beyond that. PLEASE help is in contacting local governmental reps (especially Rep Judy Chu, senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff and Governor Gavin Newsom) to demand action taken now to help these suffering detainees.”This update just came in from Tucker: "Barbara was able to call me today — she is currently somewhere in Arizona but will be moved again soon (we are not sure where).

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice. When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

A script you can use if you’re not good at speaking on the spot.
I'm calling to demand that Senator Schumer not allow Donald Trump to take away access to transgender health care for anyone, let alone people with federal or state health insurance.
Trans healthcare is lifesaving medicine. It is not cosmetic or frivolous; it is miraculous and it is vital.
It is not something trans people can just go without.
[You can add a personal anecdote here-how it has helped you or someone you love, how long you've been receiving trans healthcare, etc.J Trans people are also over twice as likely to live in poverty, which means they are often receiving this care through government-funded programs. They simply cannot afford it otherwise. If this care is lost, trans American lives will be lost too. This is the truth.
If none of this stirs the Senator's compassion, please understand that trans people are, as a group, politically active, and they are rarely Republicans. The Senator should understand that if he caves and allows Trump to do this to us, it would be a betrayal of his constituents at an unforgivable level. If he caves, I will never vote for a Democrat again. I will not vote for a Democrat for president, for senator, for dogcatcher. This is a promise.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.
