I need @governorferguson.bsky.social to do exactly two things: 1) fight fascists and 2) sign every bill sent to him by his Democratic legislature.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

We either grit our teeth, scale up our mutual aid, + brace to lose so many people to dungeons, exile, murder, and suicide, or we hit the streets so fucking hard we enter The Cool Zone, which will also require us scaling up our mutual aid, so, scaling up our mutual aid is a good call for right now

A federal judge just issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of Trump's executive order attempting to shut down access nationwide to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under 19, per the ACLU. A victory for trans youth, their families and their medical providers.

We're in a constitutional crisis where Democrats need to grind everything to a halt. Voting in favor of literally any Trump nominee, no matter how innocuous at first glance, is inexcusable.

Furious at Musk and his minions for their lawlessness & destruction? Join us at Tesla Seattle TOMORROW. Tesla is Elon's cash machine, and his main source of power. The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one else is coming to fix this. #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #MuskOut

These are major progressive wins! The Seattle’s social housing initiative won despite: ➡️ massive spending in opposition by Amazon and the Chamber ➡️ a (legally questionable) delay by the council to prevent it from being on the high-turnout Nov 2024 ballot ➡️ an opposing campaign led by Mayor Harrell

This AM saw two different drivers run their red light when there was a break in traffic, at two intersections in a row. I know we’re all stressed, but would love for people to make the connection that driving, like a lot of things we do, can be either rugged individualism, or community care.

Shame on Pike Place Market. Remember, anyone worried about federal funding, it’s “fuck you, make me,” not “cancel event about internment abruptly with no explanation.” In this time period? With mass deportations? I’ll be karening about this. White Seattleites, I hope you’ll join me.

Seattle Children's Hospital: a thread of signs supporting transgender kids! 🧵

I'm hearing now there will be protests in front of Seattle Children's Hospital every day through Sunday. I encourage you to go if you can and show transgender kids they are not alone. It is a scary time right now.

If you're upset about the news about Seattle Children's Hospital canceling a gender-affirming surgery for a trans teen and scrubbing their website, here is a call to action for emailing the hospital, the AG, and your state reps. tinyurl.com/supportwatra... You can also contact your Seattle CMs!

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Dear elected officials: I don’t need you to post about the bad things Trump is doing. I need you to post about what you are doing to stop those bad things. And how you’re helping the people hurt by those bad things. Sincerely, Me

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Also, after yesterday’s OMB memo, why are they even voting on nominees like it’s a regular day? They could be spending all day asking to take roll calls, or make random speeches. Anything!!! except business as usual!

Big reminder to be as precise as possible in what you share, regardless of the story, as we go forward. Without details, the info is useless and adds to the chaotic/fearful information environment that many good folks are trying to reign in and organize.
