The people who went with “Sarah McBride will actively collaborate with the destruction of transgender rights” turned out to be right.
Incredible that this is our first representation in congress.

can't imagine a better time than hanging out with my beloved starbucks workers while causing some good trouble
Last month, allies & Starbucks workers participated in civil disobedience for the first time. Now, we're inviting baristas to join us for a series of trainings that explore the legacy of this powerful tactic that's helped workers & social movements win! More information soon. 🔥

all this will do is keep more kids missing. this administration is being targetedly evil towards trans people to try and erase us. anyone with common sense or compassion or with the actual goal to find missing and exploited children should rail against this every single day
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Just wait until Trump uses the same mechanism he is using to attempt a national trans ban to do the same with a national abortion ban, mifepristone ban, etc.

What really fucks me up about this is that I realized I was trans almost eight years ago to the day, during this exact same spot in Trump’s first term.
The idea that this could have happened not now, when I’m 23 and coming into my own, but at 15 while alone and incredibly vulnerable…
Nauseating.

The text of this is fevered nonsense that will kill children.
If you've ever been "just asking questions" or argued that this medical care is anything but the well-documented and correct treatment it has always been, I hate your guts and want you to know you deserve a life of abject misery.
