Give this a repost if you can. Not for clicks, I'm not monetized, that doesn't matter. Repost to share this - the hate fades. The anger dulls. The future we dream of doesn't happen accidentally. It happens by choice. A platform is as powerful as we make it. Happy Sunday :)

Today, AG Letitia James of New York responded to the Trump administration's new rule attempting to ban trans youth care in hospitals nationwide. "I will not let the administration come for you." Read the latest from our writer, S. Baum here. www.erininthemorning.com/p/i-will-not...

This skeet is promoting radical gender ideology. Where do I turn myself in?

Hey, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all the empathy, compassion, and genuine kindness so many of you have so gently shared with me. Kindness matters more than any of us know. It makes a difference. Thank you.

An unapologetic ally through and through. Thank you, Rob Reiner. May you and Michele rest in power.

This country needs a charity organization dedicated to raising funds for gender-affirming surgeries and procedures for transgender and nonbinary individuals.

Jesus fucking Christ, America. We are a shithole country with a shithole president and a shithole congress that does nothing to stop this entirely preventable violence. Fuck your guns and fuck you.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

This is the moment my staff taught everyone that you can sing my name to the tune of “Seven Nation Army”

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.

Whole of the American economy is now piracy.

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups. This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

If you’re a “trust but verify” person here’s the proof that @warren.senate.gov just ignored opposition from LGBTQ and human rights groups and sided with the likes of “Morality in Media” to support the dangerous and misguided Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) Call her! www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family. No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

Hi @warren.senate.gov just to be crystal clear I never wanna see you at Boston Pride again prancing around in a feather boa. By cosponsoring #KOSA you are actively helping the Trump admin take away lifesaving resources from LGBTQ youth. We asked you to meet with our coalition. You ignored us.

1. For weeks, EITM has reported that Republicans would push a trans healthcare ban in their ACA negotiations. Now, the plan is released, and it includes heavy restrictions on ACA plans, a medicaid ban, an EHB ban, and more. Democrats must not capitulate.

“Ben & Jerry’s has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“Solidarity with Palestine reflects the very realities that queerness is not just about sexuality or identity but about dismantling oppressive structures globally, and that is a common understanding within queer liberation and Palestine liberation movement.” Palestine matters to queer folk. 🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Trump signed an executive order in January denying citizenship to children born on American soil to undocumented immigrants and some temporary foreign residents.

Today is a dark day for our babies and public health.

Many of you may have heard that trans girls are now banned from Girlguiding in the United Kingdom, their version of the Girl Scouts as we know them in the United States. It is a cruel new low in a country that has treated trans people horrifically in recent years. The latest from S. Baum.

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

A dozen prior leaders of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a scathing denunciation of an FDA memo to staff that made sweeping claims casting doubt on vaccine safety.

1. Missouri prefiled bills are in, and the anti-trans panic continues. One even goes as far as to ban social transition in schools. Any teacher who "supports" it, including name changes, pronouns, or "treatment," would be fired. Even with parent permission! Subscribe to support our journalism.

🚨 EVERYONE PLEASE RESKEET THIS FOR VISIBILITY!!! 🚨 A big coalition of LGBTQ+, abortion access, and human rights groups led by @fightforthefuture.org are organizing a WEEK OF ACTION this week against online ID checks, aka "age verification" laws. Join us: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/stop...

NEWS: A federal appeals court has unanimously ruled that Alina Habba is disqualified from serving as U.S. Attorney in New Jersey — calling her appointment unlawful and void. The 3rd Circuit panel upheld a prior decision that her tenure violated federal appointment law.

Trans kids: You are seen, you are heard, and we won't stop fighting alongside you for your right to dignity and equality.

Using the borg to keep your spirits up is a novel, but brilliant approach! Can we get @jerilryan.bsky.social's eyes on this? Hope the surgery goes well - resistance (to hope) is futile! #StarTrek

this is just gutter racism

when i see support on this website for an institution that calls my transition a grave threat to human dignity and gay people "intrinsically disordered", i am going to yell about it because that institution is a disgusting reactionary cesspit that ought not exist

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman. This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I’m pretty sure the algorithm hates me but on the off chance anyone sees this, a friend of mine published a book! Please buy a copy. a.co/d/5Z4vOhu #booksky #newauthor
