1) So I've seen the repeated sentiment that queer folk shouldn't be arming themselves for different reasons, and I have to say, it is the dumbest shit you can say rn. This isn't a game, we should be getting ready to protect ourselves and our community; especially with martial law around the corner.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Good things ✨can✨ happen.
Opponents & centrists will do everything they can to make Mamdani as ineffective as possible. We should remember that as we support the new mayor’s initiatives.
Let’s not get apathetic the moment he hits state and federal roadblocks. Let’s do everything we can!

Zohran Mamdani wins!
He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.
Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

Armed and fully militarized raids using blackhawks to drop troops into neighborhoods around Chicago should probably be bigger news. Even in an unfolding fascist police state that should be registering with people of good conscience as something they cannot allow to continue.

NEWS: House Appropriations Committee Republicans released their spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. The legislation would prohibit taxpayer dollars for any type of gender-affirming care for transgender people. This would include programs like Medicaid

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

The "misinformation" in question here is that gender-affirming care reduces suicides among youth. It merely reduces depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideation.
