It's been over two days since authorities warned that 14,000 children would likely die of starvation in 48 hours if aid were not allowed into Gaza.

It’s just a fact that most of us are not particularly brave. But we *are* social—and we can become braver when someone invites us into action.

Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇
I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.

Rep Zephyr’s speech flips 13 GOPs, trans bills die in Montana
Trans people have been scapegoated so effectively (among older people) that we're flooded with models of how to hate.
But when people hear the love behind why we stand up for each other, we win.
Bravo, @zoandbehold.bsky.social!

a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.
no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.
please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

This is a clear attempt to drive a small segment of our population out of existence by denying them the means to work, travel, get an education, receive medical care, and otherwise participate in civic life. That it is not drawing the most forceful of denunciations is terrifying.
