New guidance on the treatment of trans+ people in #detention is even worse than current guidance, + is rife with #misgendering, erasure + #transphobia. We stand against detention in all its forms, + we oppose this reinforcement of the gender binary in state incarceration. https://buff.ly/3WGvU7Y

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.
