Boring old queer trans guy. Currently in a war with squirrels for my garden. I will talk about that endlessly.

I felt this was a pretty good article on where all the anti trans legislation came from and who is writing this garbage. It really shows how one individual can dedicate their lives to bigotry and cause pain to an endless number of people.
‘America’s Most Powerful Transphobe’: How One Man Quietly Shaped Anti-Trans Legislation Nationwide
Matt Sharp is behind anti-trans bathroom, sports, forced outing, and birth certificate laws. He’s testified before more state legislatures than Riley Gaines. And no one’s heard of him.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

I am watching the Imminence in Shadow anime. The main character is not in the main story except kind of by accident. He is omnipotent when he does act, but he prefers to be a "background character" which leads to interesting storytelling. I wasn't sure I liked it, but I am sold on it now.

Officials in Washington state are being forced to prepare for the possibility of a similar ICE invasion as Minneapolis has endured. Immigrant and civil rights advocates are worried steps to prepare have been insufficient.

State Auditors found $11 million in funding without documentation, no documentation on recipient non profits chosen, Handing one non profit $500K when it was closing due to financial mismanagement, unclear contracts, and lack of vetting and compliance with the regs.

This is why we need auditors.

This is good news. 60% of the polled individuals felt this way. I think even conservatives are starting to be like WTF are they on about with the transgender folks.
1. In a stunning new poll released by Fox News, voters prefer the Democratic Party to the Republican Party on transgender issues at a staggering +22 points.

This includes white voters, rural white voters, black voters, protestants, and moms.

This right here is what fucks me up, you know? I mean I know a lot of people want my wife and I conveniently erased, dead or gone, doesn't matter, becuase we are trans. What this current situation has done was let me know I had vastly underestimated the number of them out there. VASTLY.

🚨TONIGHT’S PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IS INSANE:

CNN is STUNNED. Share this widely!

“I've covered many protests… I've not seen a crowd like this before.” It’s 8 degrees. “It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people.”

This isn’t a rally. It’s a movement. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

Good advice from an ophthalmologist Dr Glaucoflecken (I know - still not sure it's a real name) on what to do if you get tear-gassed.

Looking at you, #Minnesota Warriors for Democracy & Justice!

Also #Minneapolis. Y'all know we always got you, right?

Peace & love!

The march in Chicago has continued on past Trump Tower and is turning back south into downtown.

The snow is coming down hard now.

As it does, the column chants, "say it once and say it twice, we do not fuck with ICE"

Younger kid's whole middle school walked out today in solidarity with Minnesota. Apparently there were 13 year olds getting up and making impromptu speeches. They didn't prep a chant in advance, so they settled on "F*ck ICE"
