                In May, a Williams Institute poll found that nearly half of all trans adult respondents had considered moving out of state or out of the country.
            
        
    
    
            1. Monica Helms, the creator of the transgender flag and Navy Veteran, is leaving the US due to anti-LGBTQ+ persecution.
βWe are worried thereβs a possibility something could happen where we end up getting arrested just for being who we are,β Helms said.

                Trump Took Stonewallβs Trans Flags. New Yorkers Brought Their Own.
                It is impossible to separate the transgender community from the history of Stonewall, no matter how hard the government may try.
            
        
    
    
            1. Stonewall National Monument took down trans flags and progress pride flags, opting only to fly the rainbow pride flag.
It erases the trans people who led the Stonewall uprising.
Thankfully, New Yorkers have been bringing their own and planting them.

            the US is fucking wild, don't get me wrong. The increased call for patriotism in Canada is still a validation of empire. A difference of violence does not negate the violence being carried out by a different colonial government.

            Exactly what I was thinking might happen. Their anti-trans animus is infecting other cases. Trump is biting off too much too fast.
My hope is that all of this factors into some of the fence-sitting justices on SCOTUS for big upcoming cases.

            Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.

            We can't celebrate this without holding the duality of the pain in our communities. Anna Mae Aquash deserved to live, to grow old, all of us do. MMIWG2S deserve better. Don't forget her when he's the name in the news. Anna Mae Aquash deserves to live and thrive as much as Leonard Peltier.

            I saw Leonard Peltier was given clemency and my heart swelled. I remember the pain and sadness on the Nation day of mourning when we called for him to be free. However, I think this is an important moment for us Indigenous folks to reflect on TJ. Anna Mae Aquash was our sister and she deserved life.
