On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the trans people lost to violence in the U.S. this year.

Widespread poverty, homelessness, and discrimination makes trans people 4x more likely to experience violence than the average person.

We shouldn’t have to live in fear to be who we are.

Mario Guevara's deportation signals a dangerous precedent for press freedom. ICE detained him for over 100 days for live-streaming law enforcement, despite the fact that he was permitted to work in the U.S.

Hear more on the newest episode of At Liberty.

This is Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and architect of the Holocaust. That symbol on his cap is the totenkopf. This isn't just a nazi symbol, it was the symbol of SS guards who mass murdered millions.

Just to be clear, no one who gets this as a tattoo should ever be elected.

I have been struggling to learn #Spanish for a while now. It’s really awesome to be multilingual and be able to connect and relate to people. Lots of interesting word relations in several other languages! You can enjoy more things as you open yourself up.
You should too!

Fascism is on the rise. Genocide is being enacted. Educate yourself. Be critical of what is said and by who.
A person, living and breathing as authentically as they can, who is just trying to exist, shouldn’t be made a question as to whether or not they should.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.

His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

Dear Black people:

The TACO admin has now ordered the cessation of all research into diseases that affect Black
people like Sickle Cell anemia.

It’s not like we didn’t know he would do this, but we REALLY need to shun all Black people who voted for him.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Rereading #North&South by #ElizabethGaskell and thinking back on takeaways some people have had over time always makes me think of what pov people really do look through. How they view the characters and what they feel on integral parts of Gaskell’s storytelling medium to talk about social issues.
