Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Hunter Schafer shares that her passport has changed to state she is Male due to Donald Trump’s two-gender executive order:

“I don’t give a fuck that they put an ‘M’ on my passport, It doesn’t change anything about me or my trans-ness, however it does make life a little harder.”

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

i’ve gotten a lot of messages from baby queers being like “will we get through this” and the answer is yes. i don’t know how it’ll all go down and it will suck for a while but your human spirit is 10000x stronger than their hatred. it’s the only reason you’ve gotten this far
