Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

1. Today, SCOTUS allowed for bans on trans care in a devastating, though limited, ruling in Skrmetti.

It ruled discrimination against gender dysphoria is not trans discrimination, and used the same rationale used by VA to defend its interracial marriage ban.

Im so grateful to @chasestrangio.bsky.social and everyone who continues to fight for the rights of transgender Americans, and who push back against healthcare discrimination more broadly as well.

The front lines of civil rights fights are never easy. But we need good folks there.

If Florida is seriously banning fluoride in the drinking water, does that mean it's time to bring back H2flow?

As chair of the Congressional HIV/AIDS Caucus, I’m honored to introduce a resolution to recognize April 10 as National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Youth make up 19 percent of new HIV diagnoses in the US, and raising awareness is key to slowing down future infections.

National Youth HIV & AIDS Awareness Day matters more than ever as the government cuts funding for HIV services, meaning more barriers to staying safe, healthy, & informed.

#NYHAAD is a call to action & a chance to remind the world: young people, especially LGBTQ+ youth, are not disposable.

I have genuinely been recommending this book to everyone!!! Definitely read it! Any other queer book recs?
A Psalm for the Wild-Built, by Becky Chambers, imagines a world where humanity re-invents its relationship to the planet. It's filled lovable characters, beautiful scenery, and wonderfully engaging conversation that reminds us that "you are allowed to just live."

Anti-trans EOs are being blocked, but they still break systems that provide trans & intersex people access to healthcare. Meanwhile, we continue to be systematically stripped of anti-discrimination protections for housing, employment, education, service, and more

Devastated, angry, exhausted, empty are just a few feelings I've been holding into recently
1. Today, the Iowa Legislature shamefully stripped transgender people from the State Civil Rights Act.

It becomes the first state to ever strip any group from a civil rights act.

There were powerful speeches, and huge protets.
