The Hound 5/20

Hi there,

It’s Tuesday. Today, we’re tracking a disturbing wave of attacks on immigrant rights, frozen FEMA grants, and deportation errors by ICE.

We’re also following conservative media’s mockery of LGBTQ+ mental health and plans to cut funding for the suicide hotline. Sign our petition to tell these news outlets to stop amplifying hateful rhetoric against these communities.
