Trans liberation and disability justice are one fight.

If you're screaming at a hospital about teen trans care, keep screaming.

A/P [Feb 1] -- After a NYT report that NYU's gender clinic had begun cancelling appoints, NY Atty Genl Letitia James warned hospitals they would be violating state law by stopping GAC. The move sets up a collision between threats to cut federal funding and states. [by @rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

Lady Gaga at The Grammys 2025: "Trans people are not invisible. Trans people deserve love, the Queer community deserves to be lifted up. Music is love. Thank you."

Doechii was preaching on that stage!!! #Grammys

My kid and me were in here screaming for Doechii! So well deserved! 👏🏾😍

THIS AMERICAN DOES NOT WANT YOU TO WORK TOGETHER WITH A FUCKING FASCIST TO FIND COMMON GROUND ON WHICH PARTS OF DEMOCRACY WE NO LONGER NEED

New reporting, only on Assigned Media: Journalist @miralazine.bsky.social brings us the story of Marisol Ordonez Vargas, a transgender immigrant detainee from Central America. She alleges mistreatment at the hands of the federal government including sexual assault and refusal of medical care.

With Indiana becoming the latest state to put forward a mask ban & Trump ordering CDC, FDA and NIH to stop providing public health updates… it’s a good time to remind people to push back on mask bans They’re discriminatory & dangerous. Everyone should have the legal right to protect their health:

Never imagined I’d have to say this, but if you want to have a look at NIH RePORTER to see how much NIH funding your state receives so you can write to your elected representatives, you’d better do it now, and get a screenshot.

And it will radically curtail advances in care that directly impact the Disability Community. #Disability #DisSky

Come on Joe! If you won't pardon one of American's longest incarcerated prisoners of conscience just because it's the right thing to do, then at least do it to stick it to new guy. #YoloJoe #FreeLeonard

Ecstatic to share that I am now Managing Director at @disabilitylab.bsky.social, working to shift the narrative on disability from fear + pity to solidarity + liberation, so that we can thrive RIGHT NOW—not whenever people decide to give us the justice we deserve. Let's gooooooo! #Disability #DisSky

Focus on the examples of people showing up in marvelous ways to support and help each other. Yes there is bad news but it's not the only news.

Sadly still relevant as we continue to be left behind.

I cannot stop thinking about every disabled person who can’t evacuate these SoCal fires, whether it’s because they physically can’t leave or they don’t have the resources to. When we say our systems are designed to leave disabled folks behind to die, this is a prime example.

Now more than ever.

If you can’t afford the basics of survival (food, housing, water, healthcare) on minimum wage, then it shouldn’t be the minimum wage. It's that simple.

Mister Rogers never misses
