Honestly the fact that they are activating the Guard in several states in response to the No Kings protests makes me want to go even more. It's building them up to be a huge event, and well, why let them down?

this is a good day to normalize trans people in your life. That just means you welcome them. And I do! Please repost if you agree thank you.

1. Canadian transgender people will avoid major crackdowns that could have happened under a conservative government thanks to the election results.
The risk was very real that the country would replicate US-style attacks on trans rights.

Jon Stewart admits folks here were right & he wasn't: "I did not think he would get this authoritarian this fast. I really didn't. I'm sorry. Who could have known? Maybe if someone out there had yelled at me on Bluesky about this, I would have known. But no one did. Except every day. In all caps."
