Re: ICE at the polls. I used to do clinic defense in Los Angeles back in the 80s and 90s. We had a technique for getting women past aggressive anti-choice protesters who would try to shut the clinics. Does anyone see where I'm going with this?

I don't think I've introduced myself. I'm Faye. I'm 55 years old. I've been an activist for 38 years. I still have scars from doing clinic defense in 1989 in Los Angeles. I have been in HIV activism since 1990 when I joined ACT UP/LA.

Hi @latimes.com, I broke this story for @lataco.bsky.social yesterday. We were the first news outlet to publish the surveillance footage and report that Rodriguez is a federal agent. Disappointing to not see a "first reported by" credit or link to our website in your story. Do better.

If you are protesting this weekend. Do so peacefully. Do so thoughtfully. Trump is hoping you don’t. He is seeking a reason to crack down harder. Do not give him one. Continue to speak out. Continue to use your voice.

@malar0ne.bsky.social, who is with @scienceimpacts.org, has been tracking the fallout of funding cuts at the health agencies across the country. Their data underpinned this story, about how red states were getting fewer grants reinstated: www.statnews.com/2025/07/03/n...
statnews.com
Terminated NIH grants are being reinstated almost entirely in blue states
Researchers in Democratic congressional districts stand to have $2.1 billion in NIH grants reinstated, compared to $62 million in Republican districts.

Way back in the 80s, when I did abortion clinic defense, we would form a barricade 5 people deep across the front of a clinic and use our bodies to form a toothpaste tube to allow patients to enter unharmed while the fundies did everything they could to try to chain the doors shut. Just saying.
