For those who think evacuating Tehran is possible based on #Israel’s warnings, which are nothing but a performative act. It would take weeks if not months to evacuate Tehran. What’s represented here doesn’t even come close to capturing the full size of #Iran’s capital city.

This is not good for pregnant people either. Or people who want vaccines. It’s all connected. One of MANY reasons (including the humanity & dignity of trans youth, adults, parents, & providers) we need to fight in solidarity with trans youth. www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-al...

Anyway I literally just wrote a whole memoir explaining why SCOTUS is wrong and trans kids know who they are, on account of having been one. So if you want to know a firsthand account of why trans kids don't just grow out of transness and why it's not an outside influence, consider reading it.

Today is a particularly good day to support trans mutual aid as a concrete way to fight back against the fuckers trying to take their healthcare and other rights away. 🧵 of a few groups, campaigns, and individuals you can donate to:

I refuse to respond to Skrmetti by breaking up our community. It doesn't matter if you medically transition, socially transition, both, or neither. It doesn't matter if you're binary or nonbinary or genderqueer or agender. I see you. I love you. We will get through this. And we will undo this.

In light of SCOTUS's ruling in Skrmetti, @brittneymac15.bsky.social asked doctors what trans youth and their families need to know about navigating this. @teenvogue.com experts advise continuing to talk to affirming healthcare providers if you have them and exploring options for care out-of-state.

The antifascist that was shot by a 50501 protest marshal, and then arrested for the death of the other person shot (and killed) by that yellow vest pos, could use commissary funds.

Police don’t keep us safe. They do not stop or prevent violence. The cops usually just show up after harm has already been done. And in fact, even by their own metrics of ‘solving crimes,’ they consistently do a terrible job.

If you're organizing an event, and your mask policy is "we're ok with anyone who wants wearing a mask," your only action is to legitimate fascist mask bans. we will keep assuming it's OK to wear a mask anywhere! what we want is some solidarity, not permission for things that don't require it.

this is maybe the best description of my confusion about why people keep using AI!!! if you already know the material you're writing, you don't need it. if you don't know it, you have no fucking idea what it's messed up... seems obvious.

This is criminalization in its highest and most extreme form - turning the mere existence of a people into an “ism” framed as an existential threat to world order that must be eradicated as a result.

all of our indicators are lagging so by the time you see a headline like this, it is DEFINITELY time to step up your precautions from whatever they are. i'd strongly suggest the minimum should be masking in public, so that ppl avoiding COVID & disabled ppl are able to exist in public.

McBride could be a gift to all transfemmes, rather than petty squabbles and intracommunity beefs we could all just hate her, together, a hatred combined with an ongoing dread for her own safety that would allow us to project and mitigate ours, she is a perfect offering for our unity
