Today my team and I at @translash.org launched Season 4 of our investigative series #AntiTransHateMachine. For over a year looked at how Christian Nationalist and authoritarian forces are working together to destroy public education from the inside out using anti-trans hate.

With the government on the verge of declaring trans people an enemy of the state, Harris’ words could inject momentum into the further marginalization of trans people. This also gives insight as to why she was silent during the wave of anti-trans attacks last October.

Today, the Trump administration signaled that they may label trans people as “terrorists” - with the FBI and even the Vice President echoing this dangerous rhetoric.
History has shown us what happens when an authoritarian regime targets a specific group: it never ends there.

Not a conservative organization deciding to apply it’s historical ideology consistently. The NRA standing for equality in the Second Amendment is one the few things that has surprised me this year.

It’s tempting to believe that marriage equality is settled law. But as I shared w/ @ayman.msnbc.com on @theweekendprime.bsky.social nothing is safe w/ a Christian nationalist Supreme Court willing to overturn rights we thought were guaranteed. Hillary Clinton kicked off the debate with this one!

With Trump’s announcement tomorrow of a federally-mandated sweep of homeless people from DC,I am reminded of the fact that 1 out of 3 trans people have experienced homelessness.This means that LGBTQ people could makeup a disproportionate share of those detained to unknown facilities. @translash.org

Today is a day of joy and celebration of Black freedom, but it’s also an opportunity for us to honor our past, demand justice in our present, and keep building toward a future where no one is left behind. There’s freedom for all or no freedom at all.
