EVERYONE: People keep sharing "Canada is opening up lines, and here's the one for Americans." The number provided is NOT Canada's official #SuicideHotline. It's the Canadian #TransLifeline number and folks shouldn't be eating up their lines. America's Trans Lifeline number: (877) 565-8860
Trans Lifeline's Hotline is a peer support phone service run by trans people for our trans and questioning peers. Call us if you need someone to talk to, even if you're not in crisis or if you're not sure you're trans. US (877) 565-8860 and CAN (877) 330-6366.

Placing side by side.
A screenshot of the White House's Official Twitter/X account. It reads: "Congestion Pricing is Dead. Manhattan, and all of New York, is Saved. Long Live the King!" -- President Donald J. Trump." The image under the text is a painting of Trump wearing a gaudy golden crown with a skyline in background.

is it still down? I tried logging in with the Login. gov first and then the ID. me and both have given me this error since Saturday evening. Have been trying off and on since then. I'm hearing from other folks of their bank accounts being rejected so trying to get in to make sure that didn't happen.
screenshot of my Social Security, where there is an error message that reads: "We're Sorry. There has been an unexpected system error. Your login session has been terminated. For security reasons please close all your internet browser windows."

You did mention trans people? Here's the screenshot of you mentioning trans people...

Again, I'm a trans person. I've read most of bell hooks works. she is indeed supportive of us. the book in question does mention trans folks; it's sitting on my shelf. so maybe take your anger elsewhere. thanks
