Today, transgender Kansans are being forced to surrender licenses that reflect who they truly are and return to names that do not.

To those navigating this painful moment—We'll continue fighting for a Kansas where you are recognized fully and legally as yourself.

You are not erased. You belong.

Since the Kansas legislature is playing games with people’s lives we are reposting our thread from the Trans Day of Visibility. Our local and national organization stands in solidarity with our transgender comrades. We wouldn’t be who we are without them. Solidarity forever

Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...

Today we mourn the loss of a great community organizer and an icon of the civil rights movement.
Jackson's Rainbow Coalition was one of the few bright spots for left-wing politics in the 1980's and showed that there was an appetite for socialist politics and organizing in the Unites States.

Do you have your signs and (peaceful) rage ready for tonight???

As Socialists, we believe that YOU should have decision-making power over anything that affects your life. DSA 101 will teach you how to create a proposal to present to your comrades, and how to deliberate as a collective using parliamentary procedure.

💕♥️See you later!💕♥️

We stopped Platform Ventures KC from selling their $80,000,000 warehouse to DHS to create a new concentration camp in South KC, we can also stop CoreCivic.

The horror stories from other concentration camps managed by CoreCivic are nightmares. Can you imagine refusing medication for an 18 month old child and almost causing them to die? We cannot let this reckless company reopen and already proven dangerous prison. They will kill again!
