Wow. Trump has fired the federal Veterans Affairs staff running the Veterans Crisis Hotline. This will have a major impact here in North Carolina.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’
Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

Sen. Kemp ends on an emotional message directly for trans kids and their families:
“No matter what happens in this chamber today, keep fighting, because you matter. Let your voice be heard and know that you are loved. No matter what anyone tells you, you belong in this world.”

I hate to break to Trump but Two-Spirit (trans) people have existed here in North America for thousands of years. They predate the arrival of white people and their “Christianity.” Trans people will be here long after Trump is dead and gone.

In honor of black history month, I will be doing a daily thread of James Baldwin quotes. If you have never heard of the late great Mr Baldwin, he was a trailblazer in so many ways. If the weather is crappy where you are might I suggest “I Am Not Your Negro” a 2016 documentary.

Newly elected Sen. Rashaun Kemp is asking now about the potential harms to cisgender girls, pointing out that anyone could throw a tantrum and claim that a girl who wins in her sport is transgender, and asks how would they prove it otherwise.
He’s right. This could have vast impacts on all girls.

Sen. Kemp now asks how many transgender girls compete in sports in Georgia. Sen. Dolezal responds that they “don’t know,” and deflects now to Riley Gaines and Lia Thomas.
Reminder: neither of those women are from GA. Georgians deserve legislators dedicated to improving our lives, not natl. figures.

One day may we all wake up to the fact that it’s not left vs right, It’s the oligarchs vs the working class. It always has been.
It always will be if we allow it.

This concept is one of the most useful things I've learned about parenting (trans kids and kids with multiple health/mental health diagnoses). If you're a mom of an LGBTQ kiddo Mama Dragons is an amazing place to do that.
Comfort IN, Dump OUT
As we head into a new administration, the ring theory is a powerful reminder: support flows inward, and stress flows outward. Our LGBTQ+ kids are at the center—they need our love and reassurance, not the weight of our concerns.

Sunday’s Zoom with @hcrichardson.bsky.social was full of wisdom on how to navigate 2025—focus on what you can control, find your people, and never stop learning. So, what’s your game plan to make it through the year?

Yesterday, Donald Trump signed many executive actions that challenge our fundamental freedoms and hard-won rights. HOWEVER: These orders have yet to be implemented and will face legal challenges — so you are NOT required to comply with them yet.
