Take pride in your work NBC. Nothing But Crap network that helped bring to fruition Trump 2.0.

The trevor projects hotlines first response when called is to send police as a wellness check so this one feels hard to be upset by

We need the Trevor Project more than ever.

Is there another source other than one that requires you to download the NBC app to read? This is very disturbing. The framing doesn’t highlight the lost federal grant, but is that the major reason? If so, the real headline is: “Trump moves to murder more queer people”.

Now is exactly when we do NOT need these cuts and restructuring. 2SLGBTQIA+ people are in danger especially 2S and Trans people who are murdered at alarming rates, so how is reducing services that aim to prevent suicides going to do anything but kill more of us?

They're largely funded by a federal grant, too, which means the continued existence of the organization seems in question, at least in this journalist's humble opinion.

This is so sad!

The Trevor project calls cops on people without their consent or knowledge, including underage trans people who are at risk of being shot by those cops. I was in their training program, brought this up, and was ignored. Until they care more about underage trans lives, I can't be sad about this.
