We must all open our eyes and ears and hearts to see, here, understand and respond to the darkness of the Ugly Orange Cloud that has already started to descend.
Much appreciation, Kaia for keeping important issues in our view.
Enacting policies based on lies: The current administration is choosing to believe in untruths even though the facts tell otherwise. Alpert and colleagues report in a BMJ Editorial 5th June 2021 that characteristics of external genitalia at birth are 98% accurate in defining sex at birth.
(BMJ is a] peer-reviewed medical journal.)
The population of the United States: 340,110,988 on July 1, 2024. 2% of our population amounts to 6,802,219 people.
The new administration’s suspension of disbelief i.e., their willing avoidance of critical thinking and logic (Samuel Taylor Coleridge), cannot be ignored. We must stand up for equal rights for everyone.
Excellent, Kaia. Your voice is going to be increasingly important as our nation is tested by Trump's drive-by fascism and cruelty-- especially that aimed at what Jesus called the least of these.
I used to participate in the Point In Time counts, even when I was homeless myself. We ran into a problem, though: city employees would shadow us, find out where the homeless were, and a couple days later roust them. In later years they’d anticipate the Point In Time count and raid the camps a few days ahead of it, to mess with us.
Thanks Kaia! I’m working at a local food/clothing bank here at the coast and we have many Hispanic folks who come, do you have any suggestions for us about protecting folks from ICE at our bank and also any proactive tips on how to support our Hispanic neighbors at this time? Thanks!
God Bless you, Kaia -- and Keep on keeiong on.

It's going to take all of us. Thanks for reading, Michael!

You are doing a great community service, Kaia.
That means a lot, Betsy. Thank you so much for reading these
Enjoyed hearing you read this, Kaia. Thanks for providing the audio. And thanks for your clear eyed noticing, always.
Thanks for reading, Liz, and I'm glad the audio is helpful. I tend to use audio a lot to "read" these days
This should be required reading for everyone. Thank you.
thanks Tina. Going to do my best
As a Portlander, I have appreciated your work for a while. Thank you for all of your advocacy.

I am feeling like we all have to pick areas to watch because they are fire-hosing us with actions

I'm trying to learn, too, so I will be interested to learn more ideas. This is what Teen Vogue put together: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/ice-watch-programs-immigrants-how-to-start
