The image features a gradient background transitioning from pink to blue. Text reads "Introducing the Trans Bill of Rights" with an icon of a paper and pen.

A colorful infographic titled "What is the Trans Bill of Rights?" outlines four points with icons: protections from employment and housing discrimination, equal access to medical treatment without discrimination, legal recognition of gender identity, and the right to use restrooms aligning with a person's gender identity.

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills.

To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.

Help us appeal the High Court’s judgment on trans rights | Good Law Project

Hi everyone. As you know, I am our trans rights lead at Good Law Project. I have been working alongside a fantastic team on our challenge since May last year. But whilst what we have achieved is significant - there is still a lot further to go.

If you can, please donate and help us keep fighting.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women" The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.

A square graphic with a dark background overlaid by glowing golden lines and light bursts that resemble sparks or a radiant network. Centered on the image is a large black translucent rounded rectangle containing a quote in large white text. At the top of the image, above the quote box, white text reads: “UUA.ORG/braverwiser”. The quote reads: “I don’t believe we can survive unless we’re all surviving. I don’t believe that we can thrive unless we’re all thriving….and that means everyone; all of us; the whole of us.” Below the quote, in smaller white text, it reads: “- UU Rev. AliKofi K.C. Bell”. In the bottom left corner of the graphic, the white UUA flaming chalice logo appears.

As part of Braver/Wiser’s recognition of the centennial of Black History Month, we’re sharing “A People of Thriving” by Rev. AliKofi K.C. Bell. Thriving isn’t individual success—it’s communal responsibility. If one of us isn’t free, none of us are free.

A three-story red brick building under a cloudy sky. A large blue banner on the center of the building reads "United Against Racism" with the "Mass General Brigham Salem Hospital" logo underneath it. Several white-framed windows are visible across each floor, and a "RESERVED PARKING" sign is partially visible in the bottom right corner.

In Salem today while Amber has some routine tests. 🧹✨
​Honestly, I wish I were a real witch. Hexing would be my absolute favorite hobby. Between the "free speech" hypocrites and the general state of the world, I have a very long list of people who deserve a supernatural inconvenience.

US Gold Medal Olympian Amber Glenn: "They Hate To See Two Woke B****es Win" Amber Glenn, referring to herself and Alysa Liu, shot back at critics on social media while holding her gold medal and wearing a progress pride pin.

After conservative attacks, Amber Glenn and Alysa Liu won gold in Team Figure Skating for the US at the Olympics.

They're outspoken supporters of LGBTQ+ people and trans athletes. Both are queer.

Now, Glenn is taking to social media to mock haters.

I was 11 and oblivious. In my memoir, I share how family, church, and state perfectly controlled the narrative. If it weren't for being Trans, I might have become exactly who I was "supposed" to be. 📉
​Sometimes being the "glitch" is the only thing that sets you free. 🏳️‍⚧️✨

A black and white portrait of a smiling Nelson Mandela on the left. To the right, a quote reads: "It is not our diversity which divides us; it is not our ethnicity, or religion or culture that divides us. Since we have achieved our freedom, there can only be one division amongst us: between those who cherish democracy & those who do not."

Today marks the anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s release in 1990, a moment that redefined what leadership looks like.

His legacy isn't just about freedom; it’s about the profound compassion & courage it takes to choose democracy over division. He taught us that our diversity is a strength.

The magnitude of this hit me extra hard because today is the anniversary of Nelson Mandela's release. He was one of god knows how many who had to be hidden by their neighbours and networks to evade the apartheid regime.

Now I look back and I want to cry. He was such a wonderful soul. 🥲

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

This is literally my wife's biggest fear. 🤐

I have an idea for a new reality TV series: The Hunger Games, but the entire world hunts down billionaires. 📉

​Finally, a show where the "trickle-down" actually happens in real-time. Call it "The Ultimate Audit." I’d never miss an episode. 💅🏹​

Just watched an interview with my friend Gil, who is running for State Rep here in MA. I’m so incredibly proud to know him. We need more people with his heart and integrity in the State House. 🗳️✨​#MApolitics #EssexMA #SpecialElection #VoteGil #LocalGovernment

They complain about "cancel culture" and "censorship" whenever we call out hateful language, yet they hide behind House rules to ban "offensive" speech against the President. 📉

Absolute hypocrites. Their "free speech" is just a participation trophy for their own fragility. 💅

This is the Necropolitics of the state in broad daylight. UK government hid the evidence of its own lethal policy because the data proved what we’ve been saying all along: healthcare bans kill. They only listen when the bodies can no longer be hidden. We aren't the threat, their "protection" is.

White supremacy is not a theory of civilization but a refusal to engage with it; an epistemological failure masquerading as tradition.

​#Epistemology #WhiteSupremacy #Civilization #SystemicRacism #ArchitectureOfControl #CriticalThinking #Deconstruction #Thirdspace

White supremacy represents an intellectual dead end, an ideology sustained not by evidence or ethical reasoning, but by historical amnesia & a profound fear of equality. It contributes nothing to human progress, offers no coherent moral framework, & survives only by recycling debunked hierarchies.

A question from home: "Why don't you come back?" The answer is heavy.
I love my wife, and my survival depends on the care I have here. 🛡️
Leaving feels like a death sentence, but staying feels like being held hostage by a system I despise. 📉

Exhausted by the choice between health and belonging. 😭
