Trans people deserve to be visible in public, including online. Trans digital rights are human rights and allyship for the trans community means showing up. One way you can do that is by talking about the following terrible bills + pushing back on them at every turn. 🧵 - ThreadSky

They've already crippled the poor with the killing of the ACP. Lifeline helps, but is a joke. They're going to turn the Internet into the Wild West. Time to digitally get our elbows up and ready to fight.
