The law requires Trump to continue to fund SNAP.
Instead, he's trying to steal food from the mouths of hungry children.

I'd like to kick off Trans Awareness Month with 32 stories of Trans People Taking On The World, by mainly trans authors
Your heroes may tackle; love, friendship, magic &war, self discovery, trauma & healing, demons (literal or metaphorical 😉) & or the world itself!

An interesting take on how we typically only remember the good about the past as a society.

Meta must be broken up. It’s too big and has too much control. If not, then it should be nationalized as a public utility. One company should not control all our ability to communicate in a country this size.
The FTC on Monday accused Meta of creating a monopoly that bought start-ups that stood in its way, kicking off a landmark antitrust trial that could dismantle a social media empire that has transformed how the world connects.
Meta’s Antitrust Trial Begins as FTC Argues Company Built Social Media Monopoly
The tech giant went to court on Monday in an antitrust trial focused on its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. The case could reshape its business.

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

AOC: It’s bone-chilling. Every day, there’s something new. And today, we saw Trump express openness to sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons without due process. It’s anti-American.

In case it needs explaining, part of "standing in unity" is lifting up those being the most targeted right now. All queer people are being persecuted, but the primary focus is on eliminating trans people from public life. That's why I have this thread: To keep telling our stories.
On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.
Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Today, thousands of openly-transgender service members will put on their uniform and do what needs to be done because they honor their oath to our country, while Pete Hegseth denigrates their service and violates his oath by brazenly sharing classified intel in text groups.
Just a reminder.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

Several Defense Department Officials expressed shock that Mr Hegseth had put American war plans into a commercial chat group. They said that having this type of conversation in a signal chat group itself could be a violation of the Espionage Act, a law covering the handling of sensitive information.
