via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.
Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.
Felt I needed to post this here, too. Any help is good help, even sharing it. Sorry this is random.
In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3
EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings
EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.
Brett is a close friend and coworker. After going to the doctor for severe pain, he learned that he will need surgery to prevent his condition from getting worse. Brett has been unable to work for several weeks now, and will likely be unable to work for another 6 to 8 weeks after the surgery. This funding will go towards medical bills and supporting him while he recovers. This Pride month, please help a queer trans man in need!
Thanks Tumblr Dad!
My dear lgbt+ kids,
Dealing with homophobia (and other forms of discrimination or hate) takes a lot of strength.
You may think about people who have to go face-to-face with homophobic people, like listening to (or even arguing against) your dad's anti-gay rant at the dinner table - but it's not only situations in which you could point at one person in the room who is clearly being homophobic right now.
It's also walking into a room full of people you never met and instantly feeling like there's a target on your back. It's sitting amongst your friends and wondering if they'd still be there if they knew. It's lying in your bed at night and feeling overwhelmed by the thought that there is just so much hate out there.
It'd be absolutely wrong to say that being gay is nothing but constant sad thoughts about homophobic people - but we do carry the knowledge with us that homophobia exists. Even if it's not aimed at you directly or you are not staring in its face right that moment, it is a burden to carry that with you.
Sometimes we don't think about that burden at all and sometimes it can literally feel like a huge weight is lying on our chest.
If it feels heavy for you right now, it's not a sign that you are weak. You are actually doing a very brave thing! You are carrying something really heavy... and also invisible. Something you maybe can't really share with others or feel like they don't understand. That is a tough thing to deal with and you are dealing with it! Giving yourself permission to actually feel the weight of that burden takes a lot of strength - and you do that. You feel the weight and you are still here. Good job, little fighter.
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad

I really hate to do this but I really gotta ask y'all for some help here. We're trying to save up for my partner's testosterone and top surgery cause his mental health is being absolutely destroyed by dysphoria but life just keeps shooting us in the foot with unexpected costs whenever we get a small boost so we're running out of options to get him sorted before his mental health gets much worse.
We've researched the cheapest safe way to get this done and it's looking like it's gonna cost us about £6k more than we've got saved. If anyone could spare anything to help a disabled kinky furry artist get comfortable in his own skin it would be 100% appreciated!
He's happy to draw your OCs/sonas in any situation you're wanting or to make y'all ref sheets (just not bodily waste related situations pls) in return for your donations! His Instagram is @build_a_wolf if y'all are interested in commissions from him or mine is @eattherichart if y'all want crochet commissions

Please keep in mind many Palestinian doctors nurses medics and medical&dental students, Ghazzawis have been murdered by the occupation. The regime delighted in destroying Gaza medical school and posting about it on social media, the Israeli soldiers bragged about blowing up ALL 4 of universities with pride (so no one could enter professions like medicine, engineering etc). Please let us try to do what we can to ensure that Ghazzawis can and will have a future and that evil will be defeated.

Seeing this post reminded me of the martyred Ghazzawi nephrologist Dr Hammam Alloh and MSF's martyred doctor Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila, who has written on that board showcased in the ICJ trial. Allah have mercy.
