the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

I've been able to brush off most of the erasure of trans people from government websites, but this one is REALLY getting under my skin. It's just complete revisionist history. How fucking dare they Old vs. new

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

Massive protest happening in Union Square right now to defend trans youth from President Trump’s attempts at eradication.

Now more than ever.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

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.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO. No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids." Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false." It's a big step towards very bad things.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

💡 Tip: You can set your website as your username on Bluesky! This is one form of self-verification, and we especially encourage official organizations and brands to do this! Examples include @npr.org @react.dev @duolingobrasil.com.br. Here's our guide for how to do this:

Normalize this reaction #art #artists

New this morning

Keep making art. Keep writing your stories. Even if they must exist in secret for a time, they are important - each of them a little act of rebellion. Most of all, keep on living. If you can muster no other motivation on some days, then do it out of righteous spite for those who want you gone.

"The greatest act of rebellion and love is to press on, for those that have come before and those that will come after, press on."

Remember, you gotta outlive them.

hey, you. yeah, you reading this. your life matters. don't ever forget that.

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

if you're lgbt, if you're black or hispanic or muslim, if you're a woman, if you're part of any sort of marginalized group it's the most unfair thing that you have to keep fighting but I beg you please be brave please be safe please try to survive

You are allowed to celebrate good things that are happening today: your birthday, a book coming out, new baby, new puppy, seeing your favorite piece of art in person, etc. Joy is the knife that stabs into the heart of despair & apathy. Feel your joys, big & small, & share them widely & loudly.

Reminder: This website does not have an algorithm, reposting yourself several times so that people in different time zones can see your posts is encouraged and the norm. It is totally fine to boost your own stuff here. Anyone who tries to make you feel weird about it- does not understand Bluesky. ✨
