🚨‼️: This morning, Pittsburgh strikers are back at work!

Players are workers. Today the USL players walked onto the field for their league’s championship match wearing shirts calling out the league for failing to provide basic professional standards for the players, who are members of CWA Local 7211.

Also, Go Riverhounds!

And an easy to draw/spraypaint/whatever logo.

Celebrate America. Resist tyrants.

Thanks to all of the #NoKings organizers for helping us find our way today, as individuals and as a country.

Perhaps an ancestor of my Willow, who also finds the sink comfy.

I don’t know what song, but the topic should be “make fake stuff up for security questions because your mother’s actual maiden name is stupid easy to figure out.”

❤️ everyone in my hometown who showed up.

Earlier this month, CSE’s Allison Scott spoke to USA Today about an idea we are hearing from many Southerners– that safety for trans folks doesn’t necessarily depend on whether one lives in a red or blue state, but on the strength of one’s community. Read more: buff.ly/9YPamW7

Joined a big crowd on Rockville Pike in the DC suburbs this morning for #teslatakedown. Lots of support from people in passing vehicle including people driving Teslas and a Metrobus driver.

But, tbh, they are cats so the odds of them cooperating for a camera are close to zero.

We had a “fairy tree” in our neighborhood and we could leave stuff in the hollowed out area in its base for other people’s children to find and take home to clutter their houses.

How Healthcare Workers Are Defending Their Transgender Patients from Trump’s Attacks As the Trump administration targets trans people, healthcare workers are mobilizing to support their patients’ ability to get the care they need.

A protected union voice makes it easier for healthcare workers to advocate on behalf of their patients. I'm so grateful for everyone who is fighting back against attacks on the right of trans people to access healthcare.
