🚨 ALERT: US TRANS FOLX 🚨 Keshet is offering loans of up to $10,000 for trans folks looking to escape their State to a safer (blue) State. You don't have to be Jewish to apply. 👉🏻 www.keshetonline.org/movetothrive/

Happy TDOV!

ICE has already moved Rumeysa Ozturk to Louisiana in violation of a court order signed last night ordering her not to be removed from Massachusetts. This is rendition to avoid legal process and to torture detainees in Louisiana. apnews.com/article/tuft...

Finland and Denmark have issued official warnings to their trans citizens from traveling to the US. This follows Germany issuing a similar warning. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Not OK. Do not erase our history! www.npr.org/2025/03/05/n...

I just watched fascism in action. Anticipatory compliance by Tumwater School Board. They voted against state and federal law to discriminate against trans students. Fuck them. Fuck their mealy mouthed excuses. I hope they enjoy their expensive fight in court to defend their bigotry.

And they voted to ban trans girls from sports. Trans boys though, seemingly ignored.

If you are unvaccinated against the measles, go get one now. A baby with measles just flew into LAX. Potential superspreader event.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

Today was a great day to stand up for trans rights and trans youth on the steps of the capitol of Washington State.

The trans folks will remember who had their support for the rest of their lives. I know I will.
