Shocking Screen shot of CDC website at top header "Vaccine Safety." underneath subheading "safety information by vaccine" headline in large letters "Autism and Vaccines" says For Everyone dated July 22, 2026 then header "key points" bullet points "The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism."

I think it is also important to like. Have plans for how to cope and support each other in organizing losses, as well as ways to celebrate wins, regardless of the purpose of the group. If you don’t do those things, you’re not nurturing yourself or each other.

Also, gatekeeping SNAP food purchases has always been the cruelty point. When folks had to use the food stamps it singled them out for criticism by community. The card is marginally better but codes food for purchase so if you “screw up” you get dinged at the register. It’s trash. Stop.

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17 One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states www.patreon.com/posts/149210...
COMMENTING GUIDE: Opposing Two Trump Regime Rules Banning Gender-Affirming Care, Deadline 2/17/26
Creator profile picture
Shouldn't Need to Be a Lawyer by Matthew Cortland
January 26

Edit



I. Bottom Line Up Front
The Trump Regime's Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has published two companion proposed rules designed to eliminate access to gender-affirming care for minors nationwide. Together, these rules would:

Ban hospitals from providing this care (CMS-3481-P) — regardless of how the care is paid for

Prohibit Medicaid and CHIP from covering this care (CMS-2451-P) — cutting off funding for lower-income families

You have the opportunity to help defend trans kids by submitting comments against these vile proposed rules. Because even if a state wanted to continue covering gender-affirming care through Medicaid, the hospital rule would prevent hospitals from providing it. The two rules use different regulatory mechanisms to accomplish the same policy goal: eliminating access to gender-affirming care for anyone under 18 (or under 19 for CHIP).

You should submit your comment to both dockets. The deadline is 5PM ET on February 17, 2026.

If you want to fight fascism, you must practice disability justice. If you’re claiming to be on the left but believe disabled people are “expendable”, you’re aligning with fascists. If you are against tyranny but refer to people like me as “a drain”, you’re carrying water for the Nazis.

The 50501 Movement is mobilizing for the ICE Out of Everywhere National Day of Action on January 31st. We are also organizing the No Housing for ICE boycott, the #dontserveice movement, and the Primary Pro-ICE Dems campaign.
ICE OUT NOW
Our nation is at a crossroads. It's time to get ICE out of everywhere, once and for all. Ready to defend your rights? Read.
ICE Out of Everywhere
National Day of Action: Saturday 1/31
No Housing for ICE
#DontServelCE
Anti-ICE Primaries
Build Toward General StrikeICE Out of Everywhere
January 31
What to do:
Join rapid response protests in your community this week, leading up to ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE national day of action on Saturday January 31 (01/31) when we stand in solidarity with Minneapolis,
Minnesota (MN) where CBP executed Alex Pretti and
ICE murdered Renee Good.
To What End?
Large crowds shouting "ICE
Out" and "Chinga la Migra" slows down operations at
ICE detention facilities & complicit offices. Protests deter corporations and government officials from further supporting/funding
ICE.
Protests also display solidarity with Minnesota and immigrant communities across the country.
When & Where
Rapid Response Protests
Jan 25th -30th 2026

At ICE Detention Centers, Field Offices, Complicit Businesses, and Congressional Offices
Resources
mobilize.us/3q=ICENo Housing for ICE
What to do:
Going forward, no place shall house ICE without public outrage aimed in their direction.
Boycott Hilton brand hotels. Cancel your points account.
Coordinate noise disruptions outside of known hotels housing
ICE agents.
To What End?
Everywhere ICE goes destruction and death follows.
If we do not let ICE settle and coordinate they can not effectively operate in an area.
Resources
Toolkit to stop local hotels from housing ICE bit. ly/nohousingforice#DontServeICE
What to do:
Don't Serve ICE! And don't let them be served either!
If you see ICE in a business or establishment, LEAVE and tell the owners WHY you are leaving.
If you own a business
DO NOT serve ICE or any law enforcement seeming to support ICE operations.
No dining, no gas, no hotels, no service.
When & Where
Do this anywhere you see
ICE agents. Post and share stories of your refusals. Use hashtag #DontServelCE
To What End?
#DontServelCE makes normal life inaccessible for ICE agents and their supporters.
If they want to participate in society they must stop their criminal behavior.
