NPS [Feb 12] -- Natl Park Service scrubs "TQ+" from Stonewall National LGBTQ+ Monument in Christopher Park & the accompanying text. Monument to a riot launched by trans women of color like Sylvia Rivera & Marsha P Johnson reads "LGB." [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬] [HT @jenniolsonsf.bsky.social‬]

😡😡😡 This issue isn't permissiveness, whatever the hell that it supposed to mean. The issue is that the only place for this person to receive addiction treatment was in PRISON. The issue is *accessibility to treatment*, which in our system is out of reach of those who need it the most.

Did someone stand up for her? Mrs. McBride, that is not Nazi Mary Miller.

Sir. That is the definition of a disparity.

Where’s the lie?

Why do other countries pay a fraction of the cost for prescription drugs? I’ve got one answer, it rhymes with snational snhealthcare, and has nothing to do with tariffs.

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were ordered to withdraw any pending publications, at any scientific journal, that mention terms such as “transgender,” “immigrant,” “L.G.B.T.” or “pregnant people.”

Where the fuck is Congress and why are they allowing this to go on unchecked?

Hahaha it got worse 😭😭🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

I am so, so, soulfully tired. And it’s been one week. How long before they come after trans adults, too?

Yeah. Like me. My entire job is dependent upon grant funding.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously. Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause." They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

Are we supposed to be surprised by this?

Absolutely

Welp. Guess I won’t be applying for that NIH grant we’ve been working towards for over a year.

@altnps.bsky.social HHS is gonna need some going rogue guidance.

Click on it. Is this real fucking life right now?

Stop. Asking. Queer. People. For. Unpaid. Labor. Our lives suck right now, especially those of us who are trans. You want us to be Professionally Trans for you? FUCKING PAY US FOR IT.

Full text, Protecting Women from a Gender Ideology Extremism Read it. Know what we are fighting. Know your primary sources.

Cool, cool. Does this mean I’m gonna lose my job that largely relies on Federal contracts for funding?

Guess I’m gonna start using women’s bathrooms in public again? www.thefp.com/p/trumps-day...

Calling this a victory relies on the assumption that the incoming administration will respect the rule of law which makes these immigrants ‘safe’. Laws only work if the collective agrees to abide by them. We *know* this won’t be the case.

I fucking hate it here.

Cishet Christian white *man*, specifically.

How do we form mutually beneficial and effective relationships between the sticks and ‘respectables’? (Respectables in quotes because we’re all fucking respectable; some of us are just more effective wearing suits than wielding sticks).

Naw man, this is a completely acceptable way to respond to existentially threatening wildfires. The fucking audacity.

One day, we'll all be environmental refugees. How long can your privilege keep you safe?
