Progressive capitalism will not save us. Costco will not save us. Only we can save us. Ultimately it doesn't matter whether Target and Starbucks are selling rainbow mugs, they're exploitative corporations by definition.

If you think ticketing a homeless person for being homeless is the right move, you are a shit stain of a human and also dumb. I'm grateful for organizations like the Sacramento chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, who help folks fight these cruel and ineffective wastes of time and paper.

I hate when designers do a shoot with a trans model and they're obviously like "let's play with gender" and "let's lean into your androgyny"

A federal court has ruled that Florida can detransition inmates. Some trans inmates are having estrogen pulled, hair shorn, and put through state-run conversion therapy. This is the cruelty of abandoning incarcerated trans people. The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I had a diversity training webinar and the presenter had a slide that said defined LGBT terms, and it literally said transexuals have had "the surgery" and transgender people had not.

As a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, I just want people to know that we're actually Marxists and Communists and that's ok.

This year was a busy year for the Sacramento Democratic Socialists of America Mutual Aid Committee. From our normal weekly distros at Cesar Chavez Plaza every other Monday at 530. To addressing record breaking temperatures along with other local community orgs. To honoring those that have passed…

Blahaj is a trans icon as a result of housing insecurity. Transition often begins with living in a new place bc we're getting kicked out of our parents place, getting divorced, or moving to a safer city. And when you move, you go to IKEA, and when you're a girl now, you get your first cute stuffy.

As a teenager in 2011, the Arab Spring and Syrian Civil War were the first major news stories I followed closely, and it's so surreal for the Assad regime to fall so quickly and seemingly out of the blue.

Excited to be in DC and honored to sit on a panel at the LGBT Victory Institute's annual conference to speak on Sacramento's Transgender Sanctuary Resolution. Over the next four years local protections are going to be of paramount importance in protecting vulnerable communities!
