Huge win for the trans community. Passport ban blocked by federal judge that rules decision was based on animus and discrimination against transgender people. From Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com www.erininthemorning.com/p/judge-bloc...

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Pride began as a protest. It should return to its roots.

Guardian [Apr 14] -- Despite weeks of protest, autocratic Hungary -- beloved by the MAGA right -- passes constitutional amendment (140-21) that bans Pride Parades & restrict LGBTQ+ folks right of assembly bec. protecting children’s "moral development" takes precedence. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Marth Stewart went to prison for insider trading on *one* stock. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought *17* stocks just before Donald Trump declared his "pause" in tariffs that caused those stocks to rise in value. How many others were tipped off? How many stocks did Donald buy? Ivanka? Mike Johnson?

so, stephanie turner—the fencer who took a knee & went on a media tour about it—cost a trans girl the chance to participate in society & did it for $5,000 cash, in addition to, i assume, paid speaking gigs with folks like riley gaines. this is grifting. turner is a grifter. also a garbage person.

Too all my trans friends and lovely people I have met, you’re great, and I hope you know that. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Girl!

Thought it might help some people if I reposted this on here

Chillin at my favorite cafe.

They're terrorizing our federal employees in real ways and the impact is devastating for all of us. I spoke to a VA employee and FBI Agent about what they're experiencing and it will shock you. This is the most important thing I've written. Please read and share. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

@alanaferal.bsky.social It was lovely meeting you today. I hope that we can talk again sometime.

The U.S. government is taking people off the street and sending them to the place in the bottom picture without charges filed, no arraignments, no due process and without notifying anyone of the people’s whereabouts. El Salvador intends to never release anyone from CECOT. #HumanRights #USpol

They disappeared a man right off the streets just like Putin for exercising his free speech. They won’t stop at immigrants. We are all targets now. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

Very well put

Every single solitary Democrat should walk out of the regime's address tonight. Every. Single. One.

I haven't been on the "other site" for a while. So, it was surprising and disheartening to learn that someone who I had previously looked up to as an inspirational voice in music and culture has abandoned their principles and become right-wing mouth breathing bigot.

they are giving our country to putin

Hey everyone -- Moms of Liberty and Dept of Education launched a snitch line portal today to rat out teachers and anyone promoting anything DEI. FLOOD THE PORTAL Spam the hell out of it. Pass it on! It works! enddei.ed.gov

It’s easy to feel hopeless when headlines are screaming negativity 24/7, but don’t let them trick you into thinking there’s no good left in the world. There is kindness in strangers, laughter in unexpected moments and resilience in people like you. Keep looking for the good.

Sign of the day…

Nearly one in 10 adults in the U.S. identifies as LGBTQ, according to a large analysis from Gallup released Thursday — almost triple the share since Gallup began counting in 2012, and up by two-thirds since 2020. nyti.ms/42ZZGIN

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

LGBTQ+ people aren’t going anywhere. We are coming out, living authentically, and not caring what anti-equality lawmakers think about it. More on the latest Gallup survey of LGBTQ+ adults: news.gallup.com/poll/656708/...

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

The fight for trans rights is a fight for liberation. We will never back down.

A 24-year-old transgender man from Minnesota who had been missing since December was subjected to violence and torture before his body was found last week in a field in New York, the authorities said. Five people were arrested in connection with his death and charged with murder, the police said.

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

Erasing our history won't erase us. Transgender people have always been here — and we always will be.

Pop quiz: People are saying the kid says “you’re not the president you need to go away” — do y’all hear it too?

Just saying…
