hi, cis folks! the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor. if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi đź§µ

Democrats need to use every second to fight back against the Big Beautiful Bill. I’m helping hold the Senate all night and FORCE a full reading of this 940-page bill.

Transgender medicaid ban and definition of sex are back in the federal bill - Dems can raise a point of order and force a vote, and as long as we don't lose 7 dems on this, Dems can keep it out. Definitely worth some phone calls folks. bsky.app/profile/eric...

Vaccines save lives. They are safe and effective. And no, they do not cause autism.

*bangs pots and pans* CALL YOUR SENATORS. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. You want to protect gender affirming care? NOW'S THE TIME. Trans peoples' health and lives are at stake, including my partner's. CALL YOUR SENATORS.

Please don't just scroll past. We only have until JUNE 30 to call in and tell Mike DeWine to veto this BS. That's only a few days, shares are super important.

This is literally exhibit A for why queer joy is so profoundly subversive. Anger is important too. But joy -- "smiling and talking and crying and laughing" -- that's what the fascists want to stamp out. That's the real challenge to their reign.

The answer of course is to tell whiny religious people to grow the fuck up. Because they'll try for evolution in biology classes. And teaching biology without evolution is the exact same as teaching Christianity without Jesus Christ.

Because our stuff isn't "art" or because people deem it as a lower form - the work, no matter how many hours, skill, training is involved, our work is viewed as negligible. "Lol its just porn" " lol its just 30 years of anatomy, perspective, color theory, training various mediums "

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

Birthright Citizenship and Due Process are explicit things in the Constitution. You can tell a judge straight to their face they have no choice but to defend it BECAUSE it is written as the foundation of law in the US. The same foundation that makes up their job.

A very scary bill just passed in Ohio for transgender folks. No one but local LGBTQ+ orgs are talking about it. First, Ohio is only recognizing sex assigned at birth, male or female. You can get in trouble for stating otherwise on documents, I imagine. I may need to change my state ID back. 1/5

Seriously. I'd make a great fucking scientist and teacher. But I'd be the shittiest lawyer because my jumbled head will keep saying shit directly.

heavily requested squirrel woman from the video game with rivals in it

As a practical matter, every single lawyer can start filing lawsuits in every fucking court that birthright citizenship is the literal text of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. But that requires the courage to remind a judge that there's literal text in the US Constitution.

We need answers—now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justice—this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release. Read more: 48hills.org/2025/06/drag...

Monstrous: "They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

Very late to celebrating Pride, but still loving this old piece from @tigburr.bsky.social!

That’s our mayor!

Then the Christians among them can comply with Jesus. Either they pay the bills for your kids, or get over themselves. See Mark 17:13-17 and Matthew 22:15-22

My indie blog has finally launched its LGBTQIA+ Book Collection! See how you can take part.

If the government can enact a nationwide policy, then the judiciary can enact a nationwide injuction. There is no middle ground. And no lawyerly legalese will ever fucking change that.

If Alito is pissed that otger's exist, there's an easy way for him to never deal with us again. And one that won't do a single thing to us. I can't really say it, but it is easy.

And the smartest lawyer is gonna recite this over and over rather than play any legal games. But apparently, no one wants to be smart.

This is why lawyers and lower courts must stop playing around and treat these SCOTUS ruling as illigitimate if they are clearly stupid. If the Constitution is clear on due process and birthright citizenship, SAY IT!

Well, if thr Supreme Court wants Balkanization.

I want to hear more things like this. Who are the lawyers who can offer tangible ways that people can fight back?

This this thisity-this this

The only response you give to any of this is mockery at how fragile or non-existent their religious beliefs are. Start telling the spoiled brats to stop crying.

The ultimate sin of the legal system. Where the law is at odds with reality at such a level that it openly states it is delusional. So ignore it.

Start doing some malicious compliance. Sure the parents can opt-out. But the student gets to sit outside in the Hall of Shame. Why should my nephew be stigmatized for having a queer uncle when it's the parents havong a problem. Hell, if the kid wants to disobey their parent, let them.

As always, conservatives project their fantasies on others. Now adding it to the legal system. So how do you deal with fantasies on the legal system? 1) Ignore it. 2) Students can sit in the hall of shame.

Simple: If a law or order is being applied to the entire countey by tbe federal govenment, then a federal court can provide universal relief as shit goes on. Not sure why the legal system can't see basic shit, but it might have to do with the continual headassery.

RFK Jr is a mass murdering fuckhead, and should be treated as such. Immediately.

Or to alao say it, Zohran ran on remembering that vulnerable people are also at the kitchen tables, and issues overlap.

Ready to just silence out any talk about tomorrow's SCOTUS decisions because I'm going to finally break when I hear those dipshits deliver their rank "opinions" tomorrow. Might need to find a lawyer to start making those dipshits regret it.

It’s telling how the Christian right’s role in getting Skrmetti to SCOTUS is being erased—and by those seemingly desperate to blame trans people for asking for “too much.” So I spoke with legal historian @kredburn.bsky.social and ACLU attorney @chasestrangio.bsky.social, who argued the case:

It's time to grab these Republican shitheads and make them regret their decisions. Make them dig the graves of the dead with their bare hands. Especially RFK Jr.

Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years. Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.

Per the CDC’s own accounting, childhood vaccination prevented more than 500M cases of illness among children born between 1994-2023 alone, along with 32M avoided hospitalizations & 1,129,000 avoided deaths, as well as direct economic savings of $540B & a societal savings bottom line of $2.7 trillion

So doing everything right, with all the stress and work combined, I get fucked over by everyone else. So now I'm without medicine. Fuck everything.
