So many times SO MANY TIMES I have said I don't trust any politician who throws trans people and immigrants under the bus.
Look at this dude. LOOK AT THIS. He's here for ALL OF US.
There is NO EXCUSE for any politician who doesn't step up like this. No excuse.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

This is super cool bc:
1) Many of the highest-risk conditions, like ME/CFS & Long Covid, aren't on the list
2) The best way to protect the vulnerable is to protect the population so others don't infect them
3) None of this accounts for Novavax which is not mRNA

Cat headbutts of affection are such a lovely thing ❤️
Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.
For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.
Please share your joys with us.

They are forcibly detransitioning people. They are denying life saving abortion care. They used the lifeless body of Adriana Smith as an incubator without her or her family's consent. They are denying millions vaccines which prevent deadly & chronic illness.

Utah was the first state to allow open carry on campus. A would-be assailant could walk right onto campus armed as they please and nobody could’ve done a thing about it.
In 2014, Anita Sarkeesian canceled an event at Utah State after a credible assassination threat because the school’s response was that Utah allows guns on college campuses.
People have warned about this kind of violence for years. But they weren’t the people the powers at be wanted to protect.

a lot of people on the right are going to be pretending to be concerned about guns and political violence today. as it happens, this was just published today about how the present administration is handling gun violence in DC during a hostile occupation it claims it is doing for "safety" reasons
D.C. banned high-capacity magazines capable of feeding guns dozens of bullets at a time. The Trump Administration will no longer charge people for carrying them, calling the ban "unconstitutional." 51st.news/high-capacit...
