Worcester, Massachusetts becomes a sanctuary city for transgender and gender diverse people after a city council vote #NOH8

The transgender community: 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but snot forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. Basically you can bend them but you will never break them #transgender #LGBTQIA

This is the first major victory for trans rights in the second Trump administration. When we fight for trans rights, we win.

GOOD NEWS: Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has vetoed a gender-affirming care ban for trans youth for the *third* time as governor. Thank you to Governor Kelly for continuing to show up for our community. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tra...

Trump, July 2024: We will drive prices down very fast. Trump, August 2024: I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. Trump, December 2024: I won an election based on that, we’re going to bring those prices way down. Have prices gone down? Nope.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Because Transgender kids should not be educated? Is it because they fear anyone who knows more than them or anyone who can speak for themselves? Trans folks have always existed and they always will #protecttranskids #educationforall #transgender

If you are able, you could help us restore gender-affirming care for trans youth at the CHLA! Call Rob Bonta at 800-952-5225 (opt. 7) and urge him to ensure the CHLA and ALL hospitals uphold their responsibility to provide life-saving care. #protecttransright #healthcareforall #robbonta

We had the honor to meet Cleve Jones years ago and got his book "When we Rise". A book about personal events and political struggles. His work with Harvey Milk and the set-backs and triumphs of LGBTQIA folks who pioneered a part of civil rights, may need to read again #LGBTQIA #AIDS #WhenWeRise

“Gender-affirming care is essential, lifesaving medical treatment that supports individuals in living as their authentic selves” Coalition of 15 Attorneys General release a joint statement vowing to protect access to gender-affirming care across 15 states #NOH8 tinyurl.com/2tntw3vm

Three questions to ask anytime Trump puts out an executive order demeaning the trans community in the name of "protecting women:" 1) What is he trying to distract us from; 2)Are cis women *actually* protected; and 3)What are the best ways to both respond to bullies and support trans folks?

Against presidents and hateful bills alike.

On this day in 1964, a Black man named Louis Allen was ambushed and killed in Liberty, Mississippi. Mr. Allen had suffered violence, intimidation, and threats since providing evidence against a white man for killing a local Black activist.

“Compelling teachers to tell parents about a student’s in-school request that a chosen name or pronoun be used violates both the student’s independent rights & teachers’ freedom of speech & professional duties of care to their students.” – Nicholas Hite, Lambda Legal Senior Attorney

Trans and nonbinary youth know themselves better than any law, politician, or president. If they say they are trans and nonbinary, they are trans and nonbinary. *Full stop* No executive order or White House press release can erase their identity. 🏳️‍⚧️

GLAAD says Trump’s ‘obsession’ with anti-trans executive orders ‘comes at a cost for every American’ www.thepinknews.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Trans kids have a right to exist as who they are, not who the Trump administration wants them to be.

When supporting those who support others is not only easy but also delicious @benandjerrys.bsky.social .

Interesting how he puts people from the DEI on leave and says positions will be based on Merit.

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.

Lambda Legal condemns in the strongest terms President Trump’s first actions in office targeting LGBTQ+ people, everyone living with HIV, and communities of color. We are prepared to challenge them in court. Our full statement: lambdalegal.org/newsroom/us_... #FearlessAndFightingBack

President Trump announced an executive order that attempts to deny citizenship for countless children born on U.S. soil. Tell Congress: Protect birthright citizenship.

Remember it is okay to rest. It will take us all to continue to stand up and speak for our communities that have been fighting for many years. It is going to be a hard four years but we are here together #trans #Ally #LGBTQIA #Immigrant #ERA

Before they've even taken the reins of our government, President Elon is calling all the shots while VP Trump sits on the sidelines. And he's already running it into the ground. youtu.be/07KHdLsofbY?...
