It is beyond question that every fight for trans rights is only possible because of the sacrifices made by black people in their fight for civil rights.
Observe that black people who are still fighting for civil rights have not shut the door on us, they have been steadily tearing down the walls.

Juneteenth is a reminder that the centuries long and ongoing cause of Black American freedom has historically moved us closer to a government that truly serves the people.

On June 5, 1865, Black Union soldiers of the 25th Army Corps arrived in Galveston, spreading the news of freedom to the enslaved. On June 19, Gen. Granger issued Gen. Order 3, enforcing emancipation in Texas. 62 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #HappyJuneteenth #CountdowntoSRD

The Emancipation Proclamation still left many persons enslaved. Delaware and Kentucky did not end slavery until the ratification of the 13th Amendment in December of 1865. Freedom came by federal law, not a moral conscience. 63 days til Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD

"organic" doesn’t mean chemical-free.
organic farms still use pesticides.
just ones approved for organic use (like neem oil, copper sulfate, or pyrethrin). and unfortunately some of those can still harm pollinators or soil health in excess.

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia
“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

Texans are protesting peacefully, and Greg Abbott has the National Guard on standby.
Because nothing scares him more than the people standing up and speaking out.
Let me remind y’all: the right to peaceful protest is in the Constitution.

there is a common saying in the american fire service:
"150 years of tradition, unimpeded by progress"
and I can't think of a more accurate indictment of the divisions we see plainly unfolding today.
Change scares people. The most dangerous creature on this planet is a panicking human.

The way white American women love to unite behind white male sexual predators in government sure belies the cries of “my body, my choice”

One of the things that's so fucking wild to me about the christian right is their absolute hatred of pedophilia seems to stop at their doorstep. They are fine labeling queer people as child abusers, but the moment it's in their house, its suddenly not a problem.

The way I understand it, the Emergency Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) creates both a duty to act AND statutory authorization to provide ANY patient who presents to the Emergency Department all care necessary to stabilize their condition regardless of their ability to pay.
