A good point and something to seriously consider for any Americans attending protests. In these days of Social Media Is King, optics matter more than ever before. Think how many people this would help radicalise to the pro-democracy side.

I miss being a goofy little weirdo on social media. Just posting memes and goofs like god's silliest little cowboy. Now it feels like assessing threat levels- aye, we at big red or just dark orange today?

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

This is why gender affirming care IS health care. It saves lives. I fear this with my son, and my heart breaks for this girl and her family.

Please hire me to be your town sorcerer. I can wave at bluebirds. I can glue googly eyes to seed pods and discarded soda cans. I can add previously unknown magic words to dictionaries in little free libraries. I can stand on the roof and send messages to the moon using paper airplanes.

Really wish the articles about executive orders being blocked would mention more than just trans inmates. It's not just people in prison (who, sadly, the average american does not care about). He's declaring our existence illegal.

The anti-trans side are not alleging any impropriety from the trans woman. They allege that the mere presence of a trans person is harassment. They probably won't win but it's a Hail Mary that that might get a transphobic judge and effectively outlaw trans people in the workplace by the back door

NYTimes adding insult to injury in this tragedy. The “treatment” was for autism, which isn’t a thing, and was being done by someone with no medical training who charges cash for expensive bogus therapies. And now a 5-year-old is dead because of the grift.
