This Pride Month, the LGBTQ+ community must commit to ending state violence in all its forms—domestically and abroad. We can't forget that our historic struggle against the police state is inseparable from resisting militarism and empire. There is no liberation without a Free Palestine, period.

Another year ‘round the sun—feeling blessed, bold, and beautiful. Still riding high after serving some YA YA ovahness at the Cowboy Carter tour. Thank you, Queen, for making it a night to remember! Here’s to another year of demanding more from life, finding joy in the chaos, and living defiantly.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all the trans and nonbinary folks out there living boldy and unapologetically + the ones who dream of doing the same but can't. Visibility won’t necessary lead us to liberation, but let’s commit to using it as a tool to get us closer.

Trans people aren’t just part of history—we are the cultural architects of resistance. We’ve been at the frontlines of labor movements, feminist organizing, & racial justice struggles. And nothing they do will stop us from building the future we deserve. secure.actblue.com/donate/trans...

Nobody should be surprised that Jess Hilarious isn’t a girl’s girl after all her trashing of trans women. Turns out other cis women shining is a problem for her too.

There’s a contingent of white trans folks who regularly think trans folks of color owe them something. Even when we give our blood, sweat, and tears, they can’t help but try to shit on our efforts. Your sliver of marginalization doesn’t shield you from being an agent of white supremacy.

Meet Time magazine's woman of the year: Raquel Willis. "We’re in an era of radical defiance. Organizing for me is crucial because we’ve learned from so many powerful thinkers and freedom fighters that this idea of liberation isn’t possible without the collective." Check out our conversation here:

The challenge. In March, post a book by a woman author every day (or as often as you can). Rules: It has to be a book you've read. It has to be a book you enjoyed or learned something from. #readabook #thewritewomen #booksky #books The Risk It Takes to Bloom by @raquelwillis.com is awesome! 😍

Trans people are perfect exactly as we are and as we choose to be. We are blessed to experience a sacred journey of self-determination and expression that many could only dream of. Fuck anyone who says otherwise.
