Trans rights activists -- including Chelsea Manning -- are staging a protest in a women's bathroom in the Cannon building (a House building) next to Speaker Johnson's office.
"Trans rights are under attack! What do we do? Act up! Fight back!"

McBride is not sworn in, probably not in DC
Also, she it the target of this and anything she does will be fuel for further harassment.
Also it's actually important to show that people who *aren't* her or linked to her will stand up for trans rights. It makes the point that this isn't about one woman. If the protest was just "Sarah McBride & friends" it would be easier to ignore.
We need you!

Trans people aren't tools or weapons. They're PEOPLE. Don't be cute about it.
What people don't get about the Civil Rights movement was it was highly disciplined, structured, patient and well though out, supporting 13% of the country.
Step 1: Protesters, many of whom are men, stage loud and aggressive protest around and inside a women's bathroom.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
Find a trans group or a queer group in your local community. They will know people who need help and how to direct you to best help the people who live around you.
Don’t waste time arguing online with people.
"Democrats grow a spine! Trans lives are on the line!"
Cop: "It's not gonna happen." 😂
also Republicans: you're going to need to submit to a full DNA test before you take a shit in a public restroom

But these guys got arrested for fighting back peacefully?
Is that right?
ACAB.
People, clean your camera lenses damn.
ACAB.
IF *anyone* who can interfere with the operation of the congress itself is allowed to dictate whatever they like to the rest of the country,
then the screaming christianist bigots who want to kill abortion providers
would already be our dictators.
Even my phone agrees.
At least Republicans aren't lying to our damn faces.
The New Nazis are the same as the old Nazis.
Framing bad actors like the republicans as outsiders and the US as a force for good. Draconian laws like these have always been apart of our history and if hope to change the future we have to reconcile the past.
We need a common reference for Trumpian plans for discrimination and erasure. I choose NAZI. The history and people fit.

You: “ILLEGAL INSURRECTION!!!!”
🙄
Honestly, at my age, I don't think I could hold it that long.
GIVE ME that polka dot jacket
I say this as a trans person.
Preventing innocent people from using the bathroom is NOT how you get help.
Otherwise it's just punishing people for something they didn't cause and have no control over.
"Now you know how we feel" nah stfu with that bs. Anyone using that needs to get over themselves.
ARE IMMUNE
FROM ARREST
WHILE IN THE HOUSE
I say no asshole, what is an American? What is a human being?
Probably the LAST name I would ever want associated with any cause I was involved in.
Unless it’s mental illness.
There could be more effective designs to build privacy for all.
Hell it criminalizes other people too. I remember when I was--
This one act-up will have some serious impact right?
Right????
Hello?
Congress members are never in those offices unless it's an accident or unavoidable.
They end up making the lives of the powerless staffers who already agree with them worse.
Then they lose power & influence when stuck in jail, & being forced to pay money.

If you followed the story you would not be making such a 1st grade mistake.
you were wrong
In all seriousness, good for them. All you should care about in bathrooms is making sure everyone washes their hands.
Billionaires?
