PBS Newshour gave a twelve minute interview to Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who has called for the “eradication” of trans people from society

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones. Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed. Because despite what terrible people say, your identity MATTERS.

so can no one just like pick up a mop handle and swat the doge boys out of the building like what's up

I wish "You dumbass" was an appropriate way to end a work email.

Today, the House Judiciary Committee is hearing a bill to repeal anti-discrimination protections for transgender Granite Staters (HB 148). We are here to remind you that trans people deserve equal protection. Make your voice heard: gc.nh.gov/house/commit... #NHPolitics

Wash, rinse, repeat.

For folks in DC with animal pals

Can you relate......🤷🏼‍♀️

I resent the bad actors of this era for forcing me to live in a nightmarish reality where I have to make phone calls.

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.” Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show. But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

To think a brainworm laden, whale carcass transporting, illegal bear carcass dumping, raw milk drinking, biggest embarrassment to his family name, screechy leathered bag thinks I & millions others are "addicted" to meds that ALLOW NORMAL FUNCTIONING, and his fix is to go farm my symptoms away....

Oh I love this

With every passing day, I become more and more irritated that my grandparents left Canada, and now I'm stuck in this mess.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Reading truly matters .

Trump’s latest executive order (that was no doubt written by psychopath RFK Jr.) goes after antidepressants. As someone whose life was saved by them, you will pry my prozac from my cold dead hands. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

I'm pretty sure my bloodstream has morphed into a pure cortisol stream at this point.

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Sara... #selfemployedartist #ukgifthour #shopindie

🧵 Blue folks in Red states, we really need you to call your electeds. Watch AOC. ✅ From your phone: 5 Calls even offers useful scripts to follow, based on topics. 5calls.org ✅ Hit 'em w/email them via: democracy.io ✅ Locate all your officials, fed, state (such as your AG!), local.: is.gd/pn7Q0e

Because in the United States, it’s legal to feed chicken shit to cattle. That’s why. That’s literally the reason www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

I have worked on civil wars and state capture for 25 years. So let me be REALLY clear about this for Americans: Your courts are only as useful as the willingness of politicians to comply with those judgments. And the willingness of police to enforce. And Musk, Trump & Co do NOT care about the law

All of the so-called "patriots" who are cheering the felon's dismantling of DEI is indicative as to why it was needed in the first place. That's right. There are people among us who never wanted women, the disabled, or people of color to have equal opportunities. True story☕️

PROTECT TRANS KIDS. 🏳️‍⚧️

This is how it’s done. Dr. Jack Turban is resigning after the NCAA announced it is banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.
