And to the many, many, many people who went, "But even a Dem who is bad on trans rights would be better than a Republican!" I want you to talk to some trans people in the UK to ask them how things are going under the current Labour government.

Today, senator Ron Wyden will raise a point of order to remove the Medicaid and CHIP ban on gender affirming care. The Republicans need 60 votes to keep it in but they only have 53. Call your Dem senator today and urge them to vote to strip the ban from the bill. Senate switchboard 202-224-3121.

You *must* swallow your impulse to parse and nitpick and find fault with protestors’ actions right now. We need solidarity so badly. It’s literally all we have. I am begging you, as a mother of 2 kids who is terrified of martial law, to find it in yourself to support the protestors. We need you.

19-20 months from now, Trump will have pushed the economy off a cliff and left the civil service a smouldering husk. If you're a Democratic elected and you think a government shutdown from a CR fight is gonna be the thing voters remember, you need your fucking head examined.

MAGA: No, Biden can't wipe away student loans. That's hella illegal unless Congress acts.

Also MAGA: If Trump declares an entire federal agency "lunatics" he can do away with it and all the funding it distributes without bothering to inform Congress, let alone requiring any action.

We have voices. Use them.

“Protests over the recent ICE raids and deportations continue Monday as demonstrators march along streets through downtown Los Angeles.”

So with DOGE [sic] head Elon Musk shutting down Xitter accounts that discuss the boys Elon has installed at DOGE [sic], followed by threats from Acting US Attorney Ed Martin to prosecute them, have we gotten to the time to file a 1A suit?

It has just been reported that a transgender person committed suicide today wrapped in a transgender flag in Syracuse at the VA.

These attacks are killing us.

This must stop.

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican.

Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries.

We are not going anywhere.

Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.
