The markets are crashing, we can't afford eggs anymore, the economy is shrinking, our allies are abandoning us...

But we'll always have the Gulf of America.

Breaking the Cycle: Reconnecting While Also Healing The Invisible Barrier

Being a #trans parent has been hard, but the more difficult thing is a damaged relationship with my child. And with my history of trauma, and the lack of connection that I have with my child, Most days I think I will become even more irrelevant to my daughter. thistleandmoss.com/p/breaking-t...

it frustrates me how often trans women think our value is based on if we martyr ourselves. we don’t need anymore martyrs; the state takes too many of us as it is.

what we need is more trans women who grow old. elderly matriarchs talking shit & drinking together on a porch as our grandkids play.

U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website The β€œT” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history.

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.

Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.

Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.

That.

Do that.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, β€œChalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.

Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.

3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.

Erasure.

The US has the most powerful army in the world. We have some of the best schools and research facilities in the world.

Everyone will be affected by whatever happens here.

I need everyone to realize the actions of this admin are a threat to the entire world.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon πŸ‘

I need every cis person that follows me to read this and genuinely think about it for a while, and I need them to understand that this is the explicit goal of this administration.

If you’re trans, you know the stories like it already; spare yourself.

Call me a monster if you want but I'd trade the lives of 1000 Trump voters for the life of one trans kid in a heartbeat. These kids do not deserve the evil these people have knowingly enabled and I will never forgive them.

This whole "It's just a distraction" line of thinking needs to die. They are genocidal bastards hellbent on eradicating the trans community. It's not a god damn distraction. This is what they stand for and you're running cover for it by minimizing it.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
