From NPR June 6, 2025:

Cuban detainees launch protest at Krome detention center, line up to form SOS signs
Detained immigrants at the notorious Krome Detention Centerconcentration camp in Miami were spotted by a Telemundo news helicopter forming an SOS with their bodies to protest the intolerable conditions they’re being subjected to.
“Please help me. Im desperate.”
The woman who sent it, Maria, was texting about her brother at the Krome Detention Center in Miami. She requested their last name be withheld for fear of retaliation against her brother, who has been held in detention for more than two months.
She told NPR he had a fever, a serious eye infection for almost two weeks, and says he was denied medication for both.
“There are a lot of sick people there, and they aren’t getting medical attention,” she said in a phone interview. “They are sleeping on the floor and sometimes don’t get meals.”

June 5, 2025 | Easy A, Reproductive Rights
We’ve spent the last two weeks learning about the ongoing threats to our reproductive freedom. These threats are particularly dangerous because extremists are intentionally trying to keep them under the radar. We’re not gonna let that happen!
We’ve just added a great new resource to our website called, “We Decide, Not Politicians.” It explains all the stuff we’ve shared with you here and teaches how to fight back!
There’s something here for anyone who’s ever needed, or thought about needing, any sort of reproductive healthcare. From birth control to IVF to miscarriage management to abortion care, we’re talking about all of it.
Use one of these easy, premade social media posts to share this information with your friends and family right now. Together we can shine a light on what these extremists are doing and make sure they stop taking away our reproductive rights. We decide what’s best for us and our families, not politicians or extremists!

From the NYTimes gift article by Rachel Louise Snyder:
“Recently, the roof started leaking in a shingled white house in Androscoggin County, Maine. The boiler also went out. There is nothing remarkable about this house, except that it shelters victims of human trafficking. At capacity, it has room for six. It is always at capacity. In years past, the organization that runs the house, Safe Voices, would have ponied up the $30,000 required to fix these issues. But the uncertainty unleashed by the Trump administration’s policies made it difficult to make financial commitments like this.
So all six residents and one dog piled into a minivan owned by Safe Voices and lugged their belongings in multiple trips to a 17-bed domestic violence shelter nearby, where they had to double up in rooms; the house now sits empty.”

Ever since the fall of Roe v. Wade, our access to safe and basic reproductive healthcare depends on the whims of the politicians where we live. That’s why we say, “when they go low, we go local!”
