Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Thinking everything is a distraction is classic wishful thinking to avoid doing literally anything. The fascism is the point. All the things they do are serious.

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head. They’re not even hiding it.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.

Don't bust into people's mentions to say that something potentially good doesn't matter. Don't bust into people's spaces to discourage them from fighting however they can. Why is this hard for some of y'all?

Trump is now considering paving over Jackie Kennedy’s White House Rose Garden with cement to make it look more like Mar-a-Lago. A White House official said it is “necessary” because it will “restore” the “glory” of the White House.

This should be exceedingly obvious, but when Stonewall stays up while references to trans people come down, they will measure the silence of cisgender people as concurrence for whatever they plan next, and it still won't protect you in the end. So please get loud. Our mutual survival depends on it.

I am unbothered by pretty much any critiques of our country right now--we're a toddler loose with a shotgun at a wedding, people are understandably not into the situation!!! But when I see someone say "I don't see anyone fighting back" I immediately think "uhm, yikes, who do you hang out with???"

I like this piece about romance's growing acceptance. “Every year, it seems to me that people—especially women—care less and less what others think,” Koch tells me. “Maybe it was the pandemic, maybe it was the multiple global disasters. But somewhere along the way, they stopped giving a shit."
