24 hours. Ready for the Dems to create some sort of strategy and keep taking actions like this. Proud to have voted for Senator Booker 💛
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

As President Trump prepares to deliver his first joint address to Congress since returning to office, LGBTQ+ members of Congress are making it clear that they will not let his administration’s policies go unchallenged.

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.

CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.

Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.

MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism.

Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records.

This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity.

Spent the weekend with some family, mostly detached from the news, social, and my phone in general. So necessary and healing. More connection with one another less connection with the ongoing traumas.

1. On Friday, protests erupted at Stonewall National Monument, the historic site of the Stonewall uprisings that ignited the modern gay rights movement, in response to the National Park Service removing transgender people from the Stonewall Website.

Since the National Park Service is trying to erase the singular role that trans people played in starting Stonewall, here’s a piece I wrote about the devastating, four-decade-long consequences of erasing trans women in the 1970s from the queer rights movement.

Getting word that a few hospitals are offering trans care again after the EO was blocked by a federal judge.

Please send the decision to your hospital, and PLEASE send me a message if your hospital has resumed care, as I’m doing a story on this.
Incredible news!

The Trump administration's under 19 trans care ban has been BLOCKED in federal court via a bench temporary restraining order.

The administration CANNOT withhold funds from hospitals providing trans youth care.

🧵The decision to change “LGBTQ” to “LGB” on the Stonewall National Monument page is yet another example of the Trump administration’s blatant attempts to discriminate against and erase the legacies of transgender and queer Americans.
The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.

Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.

3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.

Erasure.
