These scripts are GREAT and these calls are EASY and ESSENTIAL. Call your senators and reps today and tell them to vote against ANY bill that contains cuts to trans health care.

#DidThisToday

1.call your D/I senators. find contact info here: reps.fyi

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log.

This tells me two things:

1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day.

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

Your reminder to call your Senator now and demand that they invoke the Byrd Rule and strip the transgender medicaid ban from Trump's spending and tax bill.

Call them here.

Today's Something Censored - The Office in charge of federal contracts for the Department of Labor used to have a "Know Your Rights" document outlining non-discrimination protections for LGBTQI+ workers. The fact sheet was provided in multiple languages. All have been wiped from the DOL website.

Are YOU a real ace in the hole?

Sending love and respect to everyone on the asexuality spectrum. Your existence is valid and important. Be you, be proud. You are loved.

And a reminder for the aces AND the allos:
You dont have to fuck to be fab.

Was recently thinking about a sort of hierarchy of needs that speaks to this moment.

1) Survive. Nothing happens without this.

2) Hope. Believe in a better future.

3) Plan. What can I do to help make that future a reality (even a small thing)?

4) Act. Put your plan in motion.

By August 2024, 40,000 self-proclaimed vigilante vote-fraud hunters had already challenged the rights of 852,381 voters — with a target of 2 million before the election. Did the voters decide the 2024 election, or voter suppression? Watch our movie and decide for yourself. youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

So, sure: most billionaires might be as cuddly and warm-hearted as Elmo. But we still have Elon Musk — and Richard Mercer, the Uihleins, Peter Thiel, the DeVoses, Timothy Mellon, Bill Ackman, Miriam Adelson, and Tim Dunn, and …

A few shirty billionaires can spawn massive chaos, I’m saying.
The Billionaire Bully Who Wants to Turn Texas Into a Christian Theocracy
The state’s most powerful figure, Tim Dunn, isn’t an elected official. But behind the scenes, the West Texas oilman and lay preacher is lavishly financing what he regards as a holy war against public education, renewable energy, and non-Christians.
