I had to watch Alabama's ban on gender affirming care for minors go into effect. It impacted multiple people in my life. It is cruel beyond words. Pick up the phone. Call all of your reps. Don't tell me it won't matter--I call Tommy Tuberville. EVERY FUCKIN' TIME. I won't gift them silence on this.

This is possibly the most significant attack on trans rights in this country yet, and I can count the number of posts on my timeline about this on my hands. If you're trying to dismiss this thinking "It'll die in the senate," DON'T! Sound the alarms now!

Don't say "it will die in the senate" Say "I will kill it in the senate" And then call them. It takes so few calls, comparatively, to make it feel like a wave crashing over them. We need to be the wave, again and again.

(I call Katie Britt too, but I mean as bad as she is, I'm not sure anything is as bad as having to call Tommy fucking Tuberville and listen to his answering machine thank me for calling the coach.)

Steal my idea and program them into your phone with puke emojis so it's easy to call and also your call history just looks like you're puking on them!

one of them is Henry Cuellar, who was always by far the most right-wing Dem in the House, even BEFORE he was convicted of bribery and corruption and then pardoned by Trump, so if he EVER votes with Dems again it will be a surprise (and he is absolutely getting primaried every possible way in '26)
