Hegseth banned hormone therapy for transgender troops... Then launched a new initiative pushing testosterone therapy for everyone else. Now, a federal judge wants him to explain the difference. (Hint: there isn’t one.)

The Imperial Valley has a pediatric asthma problem, and increasing industry without pollution controls is making it worse.

Pediatric asthma is common in Calipatria, where young athletes compete despite extreme heat and air pollution. Some worry a lithium boom could make things worse.

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

We appreciate any and all help! Sharing always helps as well! 🫶 #MutualAid #Queer #Disabled

[Image ID: A plum background with light green trim. Text reads: Urgent mutual aid request! Queer, disabled student couple facing ongoing food insecurity and seeking help to maintain housing. Because we are students, our lease is set into 2 lump sums yearly. Shifts in student loans has left us short by $1,700. Our rent is due by September 15th.

Maeve is unemployed and Brennan is underemployed. Unfortunately we have only been getting deeper in debt to the point that Maeve’s checking account is in the negatives. It is currently -$215 and will soon begin incurring overdraft fees.

We are so grateful for our community and the ongoing support we have received locally. We, like so many others, are in a tough spot. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Goals.
Rent: $0/$1,700
Debt and food: $0/$500

When you become disabled, this is what you can expect: “You just need to try harder” “If it were really that bad you would have help” “If the help is inadequate go to the hospital that’s what they’re there for” What you can’t expect: Actual friggin help.

The language we use matters: This is a thoughtful exploration of the ongoing debate over how we describe ICE facilities. (For the record, I use concentration camp because IMO they meet that criteria.)

Are ICE Facilities Concentration Camps? Experts Reflect on Language.
Concentration camps involve the mass detention of civilians, without due process, based on identity rather than something they have done.

UNDERemployment is just as problematic in the disabled community as unemployment. People with disabilities are much more likely than their non-disabled peers to be forced to take jobs well below their education or skill level and to not be able to work full-time due to benefit restrictions.

Federal agents were assaulting women: striking them, shoving them to the ground, pepper spraying them. Alex Pretti acted in solidarity with those women rather than in loyalty to other men who had strength of arms and state power. A betrayal to white supremacist patriarchy he was murdered for.

DHS made a decision not to hold Jonathan Ross responsible. They made a choice to blame Renee Good & her wife and then tell ICE agents they have “immunity”. They gave them permission to kill. Today we watched multiple agents restrain Alex Pretti & shoot him over and over. It was an execution.
