Denise Norris on the stage, the park is packed. #stonewall #s_onewall #transvisibility

The most Menaces gathered in a single location is a decade!

CA GOP: See, it's just the violent offenders who haven't had bottom surgery we want to discriminate against

Remember Project 2025? Well they have already COMPLETED 75% of their goals against LGBTQ+ people. This is all within the first month of Trump's presidency. They won't stop until they have stripped us of our rights and forced us into camps. And they won't stop with us...

I’m a trans man in Maine— please let Gov. Mills know that we need her continued leadership to protect our trans youth 🏳️‍⚧️⚧️ and keep Trump's authoritarian ambitions in check ✊!  Please add your name & repost ! www.change.org/p/gov-janet-...

Cuckoo star Hunter Schafer has reportedly been given a new passport with an M for the gender marker, outing her as trans to anyone she shows it to. The model and actress says her previous passport was stolen in Barcelona, leading her to apply for a replacement.

"This is a showtune but the show hasn't been written for it... ...yet." A frequent earworm...

BREAKING: Nonprofits sue over Trump's anti-diversity, anti-trans executive orders, alleging they violate the First Amendment & equal protection guarantees, are void for vagueness, exceed the president's authority, & violate the Administrative Procedure Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Sometimes I feel like we didn't watch enough of The Twilight Zone. youtu.be/BieKtvFtkS4?...

Unexpected niche beat for @melissagiragrant.com: Covering the myriad protests happening right now despite claims on social media that 'no one is protesting.'

1. NEW: Not Just Stonewall: LGBTQ+ history webpages, mental health hotlines, and resources for the victims of CSAM and hate crimes are among the thousands of censored webpages identified by a custom tool I developed. I hope to document all .gov LGBTQ+ erasure. www.madycast.com/p/not-just-s...

🚨ELON MUSK IS TRYING TO BUY WISCONSIN’S NEXT STATE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE. We need all hands on deck to fight back.

maybe i should just go independent, do a newsletter off of like ghost or something. putting out a question - would there be an audience if i were to do an independent newsletter?

Remembering Sam Nordquist this morning. All of our love to Sam and his family and community today. Rest in Peace.

In troubled times, a dark Menace awakens, furious and vengeful at the plight of their people. In a loud collective voice they scream, "Put the T back in S_onewall!" Come over to The Transexual Menace Discord. We are organizing the resistance. discord.gg/Ey4rsMSYCu

Signed ! France & Finland already passed the threshold of signatures, so if you are from an other EU country your participation is really valuable.

New from me — “What it comes down to is the removal of choice, especially when it comes to established health care. People should not have to suffer the anguish of being denied life-saving drugs because a couple of guys have decided to apply conspiracy theories instead of established science.”

When the Nazis took power and gutted the Weimar era civil service in government, they also claimed the need to increase efficiency and to ensure loyalty to the nazi party. They did it through the law for the restoration of the professional civil service. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_for...

If the United States did this to a military adversary it would be made into a fist-pumping, feel-good Hollywood movie. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

"I called it ethnic cleansing. But when I saw the images of starving babies in Gaza I had to upgrade my language." By Art Spiegelman (Maus) and Joe Sacco www.theguardian.com/world/pictur...

Another free idea for the @democrats.org: Set up a website that archives pre-Trump government resources/websites and keeps them updated with new, reliable info. Every time this trash happens, point people to THAT website. Don't just whine. ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE. You have ENORMOUS power.

People who voted Trump who are feeling pissed off right now about broken promises are an organizing opportunity, not a gloating opportunity

I may have thread dumped into @alli.gay 's post about Stonewall with a string of history bits and links about the uprising and trans and gender non-conforming participants.

🧵 US states that implemented abortion bans saw higher than expected infant mortality rates, with larger increases among Black infants and those in southern states, according to this analysis of US national vital statistics data from 2012–2023. ja.ma/4aVchPn #MedSky

1) Changing your sex is the ultimate high-agency move. No one stumbles into transition. You have to want this. You have to fight for it. And in the process, you learn something dangerous: You learn that you can just do things. 🧵

Since the National Park Service is trying to erase the singular role that trans people played in starting Stonewall, here’s a piece I wrote about the devastating, four-decade-long consequences of erasing trans women in the 1970s from the queer rights movement. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

OOPS: House Republicans just admitted that Social Security is next on the chopping block. They want to give the ultra-rich a $4.5 trillion tax cut — and make middle-class families foot the bill.

This one is about being able to skip out on education about trans topics... like "gender" and <grumble> "Pedophilia as a sexual orientation." which no one other than anti-queer bigots thinks is a thing.

BREAKING: A federal court temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order aiming to restrict access to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under age 19 nationwide. This is a major victory for our freedom to access life-saving care.

The most heartbreaking aspect of HRC’s layoffs is that they disproportionately impacted their Black trans staff. They cut most of their community programming at a time when trans people need it most…during Black History Month. www.gofundme.com/f/support-lg...

Well, the first crappy anti-trans bill of the year has been made law, effective October 1st. It's a so-called "Women's Bill of Rights" variant. www.al.com/news/2025/02...

NEWS: As The Washington Post reports, a TRO was issued today in the PFLAG case filed in federal court in Maryland against enforcement of Trump's anti-trans EOs restricting funding for medical centers that provide gender-affirming medical care for minors. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

🎉 HUGE WIN: Today, a federal district court issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of a Trump admin EO attempting to shut down access nationwide to gender-affirming medical care for trans people under 19. Read more: tinyurl.com/5n6s6nnx

This is the first major victory for trans rights in the second Trump administration. When we fight for trans rights, we win.
