Transgender, non binary and intersex people exist. They're about 1% of the population.
President Trump signed a series of executive actions that would limit transgender and nonbinary people's rights by focusing on "gender ideology." But the term is loaded, without a universal definition.

If these LISTS target Black & Brown bodies who believe in justice, oppose oppression, & fight segregation and hate—then we ALL should be fighting to be on the goddamn things.
Because if standing up for democracy puts you on a list,
then what does staying silent make you?

This isn’t just “bad policy.” This is targeted racial intimidation. People’s LIVES and CAREERS are at risk.
Get this in front of someone—ANYONE—who can take action.
If we don’t fight this now, what’s next?

If you're wondering why congressional Democrats spent 3 months after the election rolling over and playing dead, it's because they were listening to these guys.
Very serious Democratic strategists advise the party to allow Trump to illegally dismantle USAID -- a decision that will result in the unnecessary deaths of people around the world.

Everyone has the right to plead the fifth. But the Judiciary Committee ought to care why Trump’s nominee for FBI Director felt the need to do so.

Imagine being so weak that you're threatened by "End Racism." The NFL, which has majority Black athletes, is apparently...pro racism now?
NEW: NFL will remove 'End Racism' from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl.
The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Trump would be attending the game.

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.
