My comments are our HF12 press conference. History will always remember the time Republicans targeted trans children for exclusion based solely on who they are. Part 2 below.

Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

what the moment calls for is fighters instead of gormless boobs who should have retired 30 years ago. policy differences can be hashed out later, everyone can agree that Musk and Trump must be stopped and democracy restored

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website. The stated reason is harmful to us all. I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars. Subscribe to support my journalism.

If you’re going to force me to look at Nazi salutes by using them as the images for the articles you publish, have the fucking decency to call it what it is. Provocative gesture? Literally what the fuck is wrong with you.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

Good story and my truck got a shout out. See what happened was @elizabethstrater.bsky.social texted me and said "hey what are you doing tomorrow? Before you answer I need a truck to get 20k masks from LA to Oxnard" Obviously I said "I'm driving masks for the UFW" cause I'd seen the Hughes Fire.

I suspect Jeffries is trying to signal moderation vis a vis Trump/Musk criminality/extremism. I understand that. But he fails to grasp that he’s sending multiple messages. And the main one is weakness. That demoralizes supporters and simply encourages more violent criminal conduct.

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch

I’m not ringing any false bells of alarmism, nor will I mince words: There is a political coup happening in the U.S. And it’s mostly because of White Christian Nationalism. 🧵

Slate [Feb 2] -- Purpose of Trump multiple Executive Orders is to "create Jim Crow for trans people" by "fully disenfranchising them from society on a scale not seen since Jim Crow" (e.g., the legal racial caste system mostly in South from Civil War to 1960s). [by @rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

An important piece by @dahlialithwick.bsky.social and @mjsdc.bsky.social There is so much sneering at 'leftists' right now as if the urgency, terror and frustrations with Dem leadership are performative. Real harms are happening to real people as we speak. Maybe just not to you.

My mentions are filled with people insisting Senate Democrats are powerless. They’re not. They can throw up roadblocks by denying unanimous consent, forcing quorum calls, using holds and filibusters, etc It’s so easy to figure out even a dimwit like Tuberville managed to pull it off.

The shuttering of public health data about trans people at the same time they're banning health care and threatening doctors who support trans people means it's not just censorship (though it's certainly that). It's an attempt to hide the evidence.

If you think that trans people are getting our rights ripped away "because the left went too far," you're a moron. Everything happening to us today was written up and planned by the Family Research Council in 2015. The document is still public. It's all there. www.frc.org/transgender#...

1/ 🧵 I’ve been getting a lot of worried questions about the deluge of executive orders targeting trans people. I wanted to share my thoughts publicly, because I know this moment feels heavy. That's by design.

Really wanna know what the plan is—30 years into the era of Republicans gobbling up media to slander Dems and minorities as widely as possible—beyond “continue to ignore and hope it stops.” Maybe Dems can’t compete, but they could say, like, “these people are lying scum and we won’t work with them.”

when I was a kid, there were zero LGBTQ+ perspectives or information in mainstream media. if you didn't know where the nearest queer neighborhood or bookstore was, you were completely isolated. Meta & Disney & scared Democrats are all helping to usher in a return to that horrific past
