Call your Senators. Polite but furious. This is an asinine, vile bill whose main purpose is to degrade and shame trans people. If you’re not willing to make a phone call to stand up for trans people, what are you actually willing to do?

(1/10) This #BlackHistoryMonth , we’re dismantling racist narratives that fuel systemic oppression. The term “pimp” has long been used to criminalize Black men, reinforcing racist stereotypes that justify over-policing and incarceration.

This is why sex workers should be embraced by the left. No other group has learned to survive this far outside established systems of support — banking, funding, social media, legacy media, law enforcement. They're the first person you want on a quest.

Remember when sex workers' rights advocates begged people to start using the word "trafficking" properly because misuse would only lead to an ever expanding definition that would result in finding ways to criminalize people for non trafficking offenses? Pepperidge farm remembers.

this outlet clearly relies on readers not going past the headline, because this was in the article "Ohio is fifth in the nation among the states with the highest number of calls. “That doesn’t necessarily mean that we are the fifth most prevalent when it comes to human trafficking” said Waggoner.

Big Tech is taking down posts that discuss abortion – even when they don’t violate content policies or guidelines. We can push back against this digital suppression. #StopCensoringAbortion

“Porn” is a public good. “Porn” is the sign of a healthy, open society. “Porn” is record of the diversity of sexual expression. “Porn” brings people joy, access to parts of themselves that they may not have another way to express. It’s worth defending on its own.

I've been slowly working on a Starter Pack and I'd love it if anyone had suggestions to add to it! 🥰 #swresources #swsupport

This is why it's important to follow up on stories and read more than just headlines. A sex trafficking sting in California resulted in 547 arrests. But only 1 person has been charged with trafficking. reason.com/2025/02/05/h...

"If you have been paying attention to sex worker Twitter, you may have noticed many of us posting Bluesky handles and telling you to follow us over there. What’s going on and why have we collectively decided to suddenly swap to a new social media platform?" tryst.link/blog/why-...
