i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Ok. So there's A LOT of misinformation about the government shutdown, the continuing resolution and gender-affirming care. There was one article in PinkNews that was VERY shoddy about what Trump said. So let's breakdown what's true and what's BS. 1/

hi, cis folks!

do you trust the senate to decide whether you can have healthcare or if you legally exist under the law or where you can legally wash your hands or pee? neither do we!

please tap into the thread & tell senators our civil rights & lives matter—even more than the jimmy kimmel show!

I hope our @dfl.org leadership takes seriously the experiences of trans, nonbinary, and two-spirit voters in this state.
We have worked hard to build a trans-inclusive Minnesota. Our community growing deep roots here. To see our community dismissed and disregarded in this way is unacceptable.
My statement on tonight's DFL Feminist Caucus Annual Meeting. This statement is being emailed to the Feminist Caucus Chair, Alicia Gibson, and to the State DFL Chair, Richard Carlbom.

This caucus should be ashamed of itself.

Yet another attack on trans healthcare has been unveiled in a new HHS appropriations bill. This will end all federal funding for trans care at any age, encompassing any social, psychological, behavioral, or medical interventions.

This is quite literally trans genocide, designed to murder poor trans people. And trans people are disproportionately poor. This is a doomsday scenario for countless trans people. I am BEGGING you to contact your reps.
NEWS: House Appropriations Committee Republicans released their spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. The legislation would prohibit taxpayer dollars for any type of gender-affirming care for transgender people. This would include programs like Medicaid

The democrats for 35 years of my life, as far back as I am aware if it, campaigned on protecting Roe V Wade, every email was about how every $ cemented this protection, only to just sit back and let the Right take it away.

Can’t coast on being a protector if you don’t protect.
the only thing democrats, from biden and harris on down, have to do to guarantee the scary hitler man isn't elected again, is denounce the genocide and pull all support from israel. they're in charge, they can do this right now. but keep yelling at people online instead, that's cool.

Banning trans people from owning guns is a really REALLY significant escalation and I think the scariest part about it that's not being discussed at all is that the plan is to declare that trans people are mentally ill

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.

When a mass shooter is a cis white guy, do all other cis white guys text each other "stay alert, people are not going to be normal about this" or debate whether or not to dress differently when they go out in public for the next few days?

Don't answer, we already know.

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.
Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

This is so fucking depressing. With each year, a major platform is hit with more censorship of adult content (Gumroad, Patreon, Etsy, and now Itchio).
