"Feminist resistance to war, patriarchal oppression, inequality and injustice laid the foundation for the WPS agenda — and principled resistance when the agenda is under attack is the only way forward." As #WPS month kicks off, let's defend our feminist gains and resist anti-gender fear-mongering.

The term "gender ideology" is a dog whistle for anti-LGBTIQ hate, used to strip our community of our fundamental rights by framing our identities as a political choice. And it's going global.

The DC Spirit game yesterday. #FreeDC
Hard to forget the social and political moment in DC and in America in 2025.
But the trans and pride flag combos, the Free DC protests and the drag queen performers definitely made the resistance to the actions unfolding really visible.

These ICE agents must be held accountable for an unlawful arrest. That’s step one. Step two is to strip those defending this unconscionable behavior of their power.
Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.
I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

A new piece from @xoxykz.bsky.social on the US government's intersex erasure. Despite Trump's insistence that only 2 sexes exist, "Intersex Americans like me can’t be erased by medicine or the government. We aren’t going anywhere, and we deserve better medical care." www.statnews.com/2025/03/20/i...

Thank you, @motherjones.com , for recognizing intersex people's existence. They are among those being invisibized -- and denied services -- by the Trump administration.
The policy aimed at transgender vets erases standards of care for intersex vets as well. A VA healthcare professional who spoke to Mother Jones said that the agency now seems to have “no official stance on the treatment of intersex people.”
