we are not a distraction and we need you to wake up now

the attack on trans people is not a distraction. it’s an example of how the far right has used lies and misinformation to attempt to change reality. they want to erase us by continuously denying scientific and medical consensus and demonizing us to the uninformed.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

an apocalypse is not an ending, but a pulling back of the veil that brings the end of an age of lies. i believe we are in apocalyptic times.

i’ve been saying this. they’ve convinced themselves, largely through the distorted lense of social media, that they are the majority. we must show them that there ain’t no power like the power of the people and the power of the people don’t stop

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website. The stated reason is harmful to us all. I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars. Subscribe to support my journalism.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

Take a moment to process this: Musk has had his private thugs—who aren’t public servants and don’t work for the government and operate under no known standard of conduct—as _federal law enforcement agents_. When a CPAC host told him his army of security is “enormous,” he replied it should be bigger.

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

1. Alabama, in a rush to pass an anti-trans law defining sex, may have also just formally greenlit sex-based segregation in many settings. The law, recently signed, ends legal recognition of transgender people. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

republicans are all either brainwashed true believers, bought off, or afraid of the threats against their physical and political safety if they step out of line. if my party leader controlled racist militias, the military, and 1500 newly freed insurrectionists i’d be scared too.

it’s kinda starting to feel like the democrats don’t take the threat to trans lives seriously and aren’t doing enough to protect us, much less the rest of the country, from fascists. call it a hunch.

@mcbride.house.gov do whatever you can in your power as a congresswoman to stop elon musk from doing business in your state. not only is he transphobic, he’s also currently carrying out a coup.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

why did trump want to sue a pollster that had unfavorable results that contradicted most other polls, even after he “won”?
