Pleased to say our public effort has apparently been successful for the moment. History must be accurately preserved and recognized, regardless of race, gender or ethnicity, etc.

As we said, over and over again, this was never about “protecting women” in sports or bathrooms. It was always about removing trans people from public life. The anti-DEI bullshit? A ploy to roll back civil rights. Next, they’ll push LGBT people back in their closets, & women back into the kitchens.
Major news:
Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth.
It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle"
I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades.
Shameful.

Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.
Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice.
Justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
