Do you know what this week is? It’s #IsleOfTease in Victoria, BC! I cannot wait to see you all! I got to peek at the line up, and it is fire! The festival opens on Friday and I’ll be bring it to the Saturday night showcase! www.eventbrite.ca/o/isle-of-te... #TrollopOnTour #GirlsLikeUs

The rockets at SpaceX are exploding. The equipment from Starlink is making its way to Russia to be used against our ally. The stock at Tesla is tanking. Cybertruck is a joke. Twitter is going out of business. And yet . . . Elon Musk thinks he has the time/talent to run the entire US government.

This is too real.

All true. Even were it not, one could argue that, given the authority Musk is exercising, and his lack of accountability to anyone (other than perhaps Trump), he is serving as a principal executive officer under the Appointments Clause, and is acting unlawfully unless confirmed by the Senate.

When they tell you who they are, believe them

Dang, I hope no one makes it hard for this meeting to occur, that would be just awful

So the "free speech absolutists" are now claiming that putting your picture on the cover of a magazine with the headline "the cruel kids table" is "false light defamation." These guys simply crumple into mush at even the slightest hint that maybe, just maybe, some people don't like them.

I have zero tolerance for supporters of the dime store wannabe dictator.

Guy who owns Meta is slowly becoming more meta himself. That's pretty fucking meta.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but planes don’t just fall out of the sky because lesbians have jobs or whatever. DEI is such a boring and unimaginative scapegoat. Get new material, because nobody’s falling for that one this time.

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

Erika Hilton, transgender member of the Brazilian parliament, reports that the National Congress Building is now illuminated with transgender colors. #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Good.

I am getting spotty reports of hospital systems in blue states cancelling gender affirming care appointments for those under 19 years of age. If true, this would be a major problem, as systems comply with illegal EOs in advance out of fear of DOJ weaponization. Please let me know if yours has.

Feels like a 12 hour TikTok ban got a lot more attention than a permanent ban on gender-affirming care for teens

*cocks gun* looks like there's no more time to fix your heart

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

We are delighted to announce a new Six-Week Workshop scholarship for Trans writers. The Sea Star Scholarship, an annual full-tuition scholarship for the Six-Week Workshop, has been offered by an anonymous donor and will be available for the first time this year.

Heads up Washington friends, there's a youth transition ban bill in the state legislature, and commenting to oppose only takes a minute or two and doesn't require calling anyone: https://app.leg.wa.gov/PBC/Bill/1038 #washington #transRights #lgbtqRights

Major news breaking from NOTUS on Trump’s trans passport ban: It will not be retroactive. Very glad I and others encouraged people to get their passports in the lead up to Trump’s inauguration. Now hopefully this EO is defeated in court. www.notus.org/whitehouse/t...

Don't commit suicide anyone. WE WILL OUTLIVE THIS. You WILL outlive trump!!!

Posting here on friendly ground but share this to FB too. I love my trans friends and my friends and their trans kids. Those snickering behind screens can go f themselves.

Anyone who says trans women must disclose our trans status in any situation is either dangerously ignorant or actively malicious.

The us government is a joke. It only exists to enrich corporations. Taking away lgbt rights is nothing more than a distraction. Trans people are not a threat. Leave me and my queer friends alone.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010. It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

This line specifically goes crazy hard

Ivanka wore a recreation of Givenchy dress that was made famous by Audrey Hepburn... who almost died of pneumonia and malnutrition during WWII & who also helped deliver messages for the resistance... Fucking gross

They really are.

Big tell in this Trump order targeting trans people: "at conception"

Good morning!
