An important poem. Don't give up. ... TW: Death & Suicide.

#ProudBlue Who’s with me? 🙋‍♀️

The Oligarchy commits an Act of War against America. Watch this brilliant summary:

Trans people exist. You can remove the T from any site or page that you like - you can't remove them from existence. They were here long before the current attack and they'll be here long afterwards as well. Trans people exist. They're not going anywhere. And I'm standing with them.
