“Trans dignity is a losing issue for Democrats, Palestine freedom is a losing issue, the dignity of the homeless and immigrants is a losing issue.”
I do not fucking care! Fight for it anyway or give up. What else are we fighting for if not?

For some reason, I keep thinking about how the Emperor Tiberius (the emperor who crucified Jesus) renamed the Sea of Galilee "Lake Tiberias" after himself as part of his brutal repression of the Jews.
Renaming things is a powerful form of colonization and oppression of subject populations.

In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."
![The serious concerns over how the Order will detrimentally impact transgender
youth cannot be overstated. One Washingtonian, as her parents describe her, was a bright and
gentle soul who loved playing musical instruments, trying new things, and playing Magic the
Gathering. She was excited to learn Japanese and the impact of gender-affirming care was
immediately clear to her family. Her parents described that “her joy was clear with every new
milestone in her transition. She was so happy to get to the next step, to get closer to presenting
in a way that was true to herself.” But the day before the presidential election, she shared,
“[t]omorrow I get to find out if I’m illegal.” After the election, she asked her parents if they
could move to Canada because she was fearful of new restrictions on transgender youth and
worried about losing access to gender-affirming care. In January 2025, she took her life. After
the Order issued, her parents expressed that the outlook for transgender futures looks scary and
shared fears of what ending gender-affirming care would have meant for their daughter’s access
to therapy, puberty-delaying medication, hormones, and hope of surgery. Her parents have
expressed fear for the many lives who depend on gender-affirming care and that what happened
to their daughter does not happen to any other children.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlmouohgzbjofidukcp4pxf2/bafkreich7jyv3lnkmd5r234itpdhtvavgblc46ai6d47tb4i7oxgfga2ym@jpeg)

really good 🧵 beneath the quote
it's about (for me) employing a shared language to challenge values and assumptions, and to communicate to observers that there is more to this tradition and faith system that nationalism cannot conquer

Just to say, lefty Christians don't quote the Bible back at the right wingers because we can't believe that conservative Christians exist or whatever. Its a rhetorical device more than a "no true scottsman" thing

There is a relative silence among the commentariat in the face of Trump's anti-transgender EOs because there is no amount of throat-clearing over trans athletes or hand-waving over UK medical reviews that can obscure the hatred and animosity of Trump himself. They have nothing to hide behind.

Let me tell you this now, and be really clear on it - as a trans person and a Christian I see my transness as a gift from God, and my transition as a fundamental calling from God. When trans Christians die because of transphobia? As far as I'm concerned, that's martyrdom. There's no diminishing it.

i spend a lot less time on traditional social media these days; the Death of Twitter broke all my habits and I haven't managed to form new ones yet
but! something i have really enjoyed (and, honestly, needed) over the past year is Les Mis Letters, a chapter-a-day book club devoted to Les Misérables

Don't get me wrong. I love my God, though I don't always understand Him or agree. Like, do we really need the droughts? And the floods? And the plagues? And the earthquakes? And the universal suffering and—see?

the good place was enough time with the people we love; A Man on the Inside knows most of us simply won't get enough jeremy bearimies, but echoes I Saw the TV Glow's call: there is, if we're willing, still time

yeah like. church specifically for folks in our shoes is sometimes impossibly difficult for obvious reasons, i promise i know this
but being a part of *something* that makes you invest in people different from you, and makes them invest in you in turn, might be the only way out of this labyrinth

I am always wondering how closely connected my renewed civic investment in my community and starting to attend a church semi-regularly are. Probably quite a bit!
What’s more, my mere presence there means a lot of people there “know” a trans person, which has been a real moderating influence!

Hard to deny that the collapse of civic life is connected to:
1) the collapse of religious involvement among younger generations
2) the total collapse of local and regional news organizations.
Everyone wants to solve the problem without reversing these two changes, but that's very hard.
