amidst all this, the only trans member of congress is getting slurred and deadnamed in front of congress and it’s being posted all over RW internet
In the last 3 days, the Supreme Court ruled trans people have (again!) lost access to valid passports, a federal district court legalized bullying against (only!) trans kids, and Cornell University joined the growing number of colleges agreeing to discriminate/ban trans people. When is it enough??

This reminds me: While not as nationally reported on, there are two other progressives running for mayor in major US cities. I have seen them compared as the Zohran of their races. We have Omar Fateh for Minneapolis & Katie Wilson for Seattle. If you can vote in those cities, I’d recommend them!
