Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age.

Every clear and defiant display of resistance towards the trump administration has been working class people sticking together and telling them to get fucked. We will get through this. We will protect eachother. It's gonna be a hard road but we're harder.

My fellow Canadians! Did you know our trans friends in the US can't seek asylum in Canada despite their lives being in danger in their home country right now? Welp there is a petition you can sign to help change that! www.momentumcanada.net/pathways?rec...
