Maryland friends, HUD may have removed critical Fair Housing resources and information from their website, but we're still here. Anything you want to know about Fair Housing generally, let me know.

This erasure of trans people from official history—when people like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson were key forces in the fight for gay liberation—is despicable. This is an attempt to divide the queer community, and we can't stand for it.

So...in the DC I moved to, leaders did not remove rights. They looked for ways to solve problems without actually harming the most vulnerable. Advocates have repeatedly made recommendations for ways to address the real issues LLs & tenants have ID'd. She chooses to take rights away.

Leaders - give your constituents a to-do list! What will be most effective to save democracy? We need to see all of you speaking to us every day on socials. Not posts by staffers. @repjasmine.bsky.social @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @raskin.house.gov @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

I’ve been seeing posts about how we shouldn’t fight the illegal destruction of USAID because it is (was?) a tool of American imperialism. While this is true, don’t let it distract you from the fact that these closures are illegal and antidemocratic. The problem isn’t WHAT they’re closing, it’s HOW.

A reminder that not wanting to go to protests doesn’t make you a bad person. Yes we all need to be part of the resistance, but that doesn’t mean forcing yourself to be someone you’re not. We’re not all warriors. We need thinkers, planners, and nurturers too.

I’m all for increased transit ridership but this feels pretty tone deaf given why and in what circumstances people are coming back to the office. @wmata.com do better in supporting the communities you serve.

Here’s what’s important here. Just because the other side wants a fight doesn’t mean you should avoid one. Sometimes you have to get out of your head, quit trying to be clever and cute and fucking fight.

Current inappropriate theory: Mesopotamians were the bears of the ancient world, Egyptians were the twinks, and Greco-Romans were the gym bunnies. Is it cultural imperialism to apply gay male taxonomy to ancient civilizations?

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you will do something about it
