So incredible to see the @irms.bsky.social Impact Report out in the world. Also cannot believe it’s been six years since I made our first (admittedly very crummy) website while sitting on my palm tree print bedspread in Orlando, FL. Impact report here: static1.squarespace.com/static/63641...

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.
The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY
Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally

Andrew Cuomo has nothing to offer New York, so he’s resorting to racist, classist, and anti-Muslim fear mongering. It’s long past due for Cuomo to learn that no means no.
Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”
Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

🧵🧵 Texas Republicans have been increasingly open and aggressive about Christianizing America via schools - to, in the words of the state education board chair, center classrooms around "GOD, GOP & USA."
That fight just escalated, and you should pay attention - because your state could be next.

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.
This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

What the SCOTUS ruling amounts to is a blank check to an already lawless regime to do whatever it wants with the rest of us. We no longer have even the pretense of meaningful recourse.
