“I just wanna say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I’m never gonna stop being trans, a letter on a passport can’t change that, and fuck this administration.”

More of this. Do not give in.

Notably these cases could have been pursued under any decades-old definition of sexual harassment rather than one that includes discrimination on the basis of being transgender, so the message I hear is that the admin thinks trans people have no protection under civil rights law whatsoever

My friend @closetkid.bsky.social wrote about his experience getting his passport in the last month. Many trans folks are in this situation—he sums up the very real dangers. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

New jobs report one of the worst since COVID - 143,000 jobs created. So far under Trump: - GDP growth has slowed - Job growth has slowed - Inflation has risen - Destructive tariffs loom - Fed did not cut interest rates - GOP econ plans will explode the deficit

NEW: We sent a letter to the Trump administration demanding access to immigrants detained at Guantánamo Bay and answers about plans to expand immigration detention there. The government cannot use Guantánamo as a legal black hole to violate immigrants' rights.

Legendary lesbian activist Lady Phyll quits X over 'rampant' hate speech

The upside to trump's presidency (because I always try to find the silver lining) is that his abomination of a term will open the door for the left to make real change. We will have an opportunity to get a candidate in who is firmly left, who won't have to play to the "republican lite" crowd.

OPINION: Polling shows Americans overwhelmingly support keeping our pledge to Afghan allies who helped U.S. forces against the Taliban. We are now asking fellow Americans to join us in urging Congress to maintain immigration pathways for these allies. https://religionnews.com/2025/01/31/surviving-w…

The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, was passed 160 years ago today, but the echoes of slavery continue in the criminal legal system. Private companies and governments extract nearly free labor from incarcerated people. bit.ly/3O50lOR

A new @reuters.com poll finds Americans have a dim view of many of the Trump administration's blizzard of executive actions, including the Jan. 6 pardons and his effort to limit birthright citizenship. But they *really* don't like the Gulf of America thing. www.reuters.com/world/us/ame...
