Birth control is also going to be on the chopping block soon, and they won’t be done there, either.

We’re been saying it and saying it:

All our freedoms are intertwined.
All our struggles are one.

Solidarity and collective liberation or bust, literally.

We can do this:

Meta has quietly removed major sections of its hate speech policy protecting LGBTQ people, people of color, women, immigrants, and other marginalized groups. Today’s alarming policy changes will allow anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, and cease to protect LGBTQ users from being targeted with such attacks

IT WAS NEVER JUST ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE

Idaho has introduced a resolution to ask SCOTUS to REPEAL Obergefell and allow for states to make gay marriage ILLEGAL again.

We will NEVER go back.

This isn't the only thing meta has been doing, it's been restricting the reach of LGBTQ accounts for nearly a year under its social and political content minimization policy.

Expect to see more of this with project 2025 architect Dustin Carmack in charge of policy at Meta.
SCOOP: Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months.

Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's “sensitive content” policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content", Meta said they are fixing this “error” after I reached out for comment.

According to a new report, doctors in abortion ban states described hospital lawyers who:

•“Refused to meet” with them for months.
•Were hard to reach during “life or death” situations.
•Offered little help beyond “regurgitating” the law.

Jane Fonda is a cat with nine lives; that in her eighth or ninth she's become an absolutely brilliant and effective climate activist is a reminder that sometimes age means coming into your own and then some. I mean, not to dismiss the work she did as an actress and activist earlier, but. HBD Jane!

I saw this quote today and felt it was important to share…

French philosopher Simone Weil: “The love of our neighbor in all its fullness simply means being able to say to [them], what are you going through?”

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father.
Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

The prospect of not being able to divorce a shitty or abusive husband is going to make women less likely to marry, not more.

"Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats" was not in fact written by Voltaire; it was an addition by a translator, Peter Gay. It is still excellent advice for our times! (quilt by Fern Hamlin included because beauty and joy are always welcome)

“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” -Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

And it’s on every cis person in this country to fiercely have trans people’s backs in every macro and micro way, now and always. In the bathroom & in the streets. When they’re present or not. Everywhere.
Spoke to ABC about Nancy Mace’s bathroom bigotry on the Hill.

When we’re talking about discrimination, some rules need to be broken.

Trans folks aren't the threat; we’re under threat.

May we work toward a world that allows Transgender people to one day become elders whose wisdom will uplift us all.
May we never forget the tragedy of hatred and its consequences.
May we remember not only the pain, but all the joy, colors and endless possibilities represented by Transgender people.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!
