John is more eloquent than me on this topic, thankfully. The rage I feel thinking of how many will needlessly die because of the arrogance and hubris of these dipshits leaves me speechless.

History is repeating itself. There were more LGBTQ people removed from government during the lavender scare than were suspected communists during the red scare. They only really taught the latter in history classes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavende...

A key purpose of PRAMS is studying racial disparities in maternal/infant health outcomes. Black pregnant ppl are 3-4x more likely than white pregnant ppl to die from pregnancy-related causes. The Trump admin. has reportedly paused PRAMS' work for running afoul of the exec. order against "DEI"

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.

She was such a huge part of my childhood from Ice Princess to Buffy to Gossip Girl. She had been through so much in the last few years and during her time as a child actor. Sad to see her illness worsened to this extent.

It's so funny that the GOP always tries to paint Dems as radical Marxist revolutionaries when the reason most people hate them is because they're squishy do-nothing centrists afraid to take a firm stand on even the easiest issue

The point is not "oh, now everyone cares because it happened to a popular, pretty actress?" The point is...if it can happen to a highly visible, popular, and politically active actress, it is happening to trans people with far less support or visibility. Call your reps today!

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.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

It is shameful that RAINN, representing sexually abused people, erased trans people because they are scared of Trump. To any org censoring themselves: you cannot jettison trans to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too. But we are all in this together.

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history. I am incandescent with rage.

🧵 If I'm going to get hate mail over it, I'll do this thread over w/o typos: Bluntly, I'm hearing from Hill offices that messages sent via resistbot tend to be heavily discounted. Calling is a more impactful way of communicating with Members and Senators. So if you can call, call. 🧵

It would be nice if people could stop acting like DEI is an only a moral good. DEI strengthens organizations. People from diverse backgrounds bring new ways of solving problems and serving people. DEI isn’t a gift to diverse people. It’s a gift to the orgs that hire us.
