On Friday, hundreds of transgender and queer New Yorkers and their allies gathered outside the Stonewall Inn to declare that a brazen act of historical revisionism from the Trump administration would not stand. Here's what I saw and heard over about 10 interviews: www.huffpost.com/entry/stonew...

It's a chaotic time. Have you eaten something today? Taken your meds? Gone for a walk outside? Called a friend recently or made plans to see one in person? It's tempting to rot in bed or doomscroll all day. I get it. You still deserve moments of joy and enough time to rest.

someone can’t wait to be king

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest. But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy. Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live. Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

1. School systems across the United States are declaring they will not comply with Trump's anti-trans executive order. MCPS, Maryland said they will fiercely protect their teacher sand students. Columbus City Public Schools president: "bring it on." Subscribe to support my journalism.

hey if someone has attempted to make your gender illegal in the past month, merely surviving rn is a big enough contribution to the Revolution imho

Alright all - I'm stepping away for this evening. I'll be back in later tonight to see if there's any more updates. Stay safe, if you're trans, stay with us, we are not giving up. And most of all... these EOs are not law, they are not passed by congress, do NOT comply.

It's important to the journalists at Assigned Media that you Stay With Us. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Surreal being a trans person on this website this week. Every single one of my trans friends is making emergency preparations in case Trump bans our health care while fighting off existential dread and depression, and 99% of the cis people i follow seemingly have nothing to say about the trans EOs.

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

This is Lil Hobbs. He’s just waking up. Thought everyone would enjoy seeing his routine. Big stretch included. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

I've been reminding loved ones who are despondent that these rightwingers are NOT all powerful. It's OK to be scared but important not to allow that fear to distort reality. There are TENS OF MILLIONS of people who are not in support of what these people are planning to do. That’s BUILT IN.
