The Trans Uprising That History (Almost) Forgot Years before the Stonewall rebellion, this lesser-known San Francisco riot ignited a tradition of queer resistance.

1. You should know about the Compton Cafeteria riots... predating Stonewall, transgender people in San Francisco fought back against police brutality and anti-drag laws in the 60s.

A little history from S. Baum here.

Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) article headline. The headline reads: "Trump Administration Weighing Major Cuts to Funding for Domestic HIV Prevention." Below the headline, a subheading states, "Plans could be announced as soon as within a day, if the administration goes ahead." The article is credited to authors Liz Essley Whyte, Dominique Mosbergen, and Jonathan D. Rockoff. The date and time of publication are March 18, 2025, at 3:57 PM ET. The WSJ logo is visible at the top, along with "EXCLUSIVE" and "HEALTHCARE" labels. The page also includes "SUBSCRIBE" and "SIGN IN" buttons.

This is genocidal.

A super crusty brown and grey puppa looks at the camera with wide eyes. She has a bad case of mange and very floppy ears.

The pup relaxes in the sun with a tennis ball fully in her mouth.

The pup looks JUBILANT as she is reunited with her family.

This is Willow. She was found alone in New Mexico with mange. We covered her care, but that wasn't the end of her story.

Turns out, her name isn't Willow. It's Gypsy Rose! She'd gone missing and her family was searching for her. When they saw each other again, Gypsy Rose leapt into their arms ❤️‍🩹

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

Printed copies of the poem "Jesus at the gay bar" propped up on a row of old books.

So I wrote this poem and it went viral and everyone shared it everywhere and I didn't actually make any money from it, which is fine and all because it seemed to heal something inside a lot of people and that's the important thing, but if you DID want to buy a copy of it you can... jayhulme.com/shop

INCREDIBLE Ruling!

Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus.

Trans military members may continue to serve.

A screenshot of a legal document from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The case is Nicolas Talbott, et al., Plaintiffs, v. United States, et al., Defendants, with Civil Action No. 25-cv-00240 (ACR). The document is titled "MEMORANDUM OPINION" and discusses Executive Order No. 14183 issued by President Donald J. Trump, which focuses on "Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness." The text states that the military’s mission is to protect the American people and that service by transgender individuals is considered "inconsistent" with this mission. It references the implementation of the order by Secretary of Defense Peter B. Hegseth on February 26, 2025, and mentions the disqualification of transgender troops from service without exemption. Footnotes clarify that the executive order does not explicitly use the word "transgender" but applies to individuals whose gender identity diverges from their biological sex. The document is formatted in a standard court opinion style, with citations and references to legal filings.

BREAKING: A federal court blocked Trump’s military ban on transgender service members, ruling it unconstitutional. The court found no evidence supporting claims of reduced readiness, citing the honor & excellence of trans troops.

The pup looks sassy as he smothered by his new forever mama in an office!

This is Scrumpkin. He was found as a stray on the Navajo Nation with a leg injury and mange. He needed an amputation to live comfortably and ongoing care to treat his skin. With your support, we were able to sponsor everything he needed, and Scrumpkin was adopted ❤️‍🩹

a dachshund puppy sits on a concrete floor nervously chewing his cheek. his eyes are wide, his feet tiny. an enormous tennis ball, taller than he is, takes up the right half of the photo.

This is Leo. And that’s a regular-sized tennis ball. He’d like to know when he’ll be big enough to catch it. 12/10 soon, buddy

This is Sullivan. He goes fishing every night before bed to get extra energy out. Except he is the fish. 12/10

This is Bowser. He thought the doorstop was a back scratcher at first, but then realized it is actually an enemy. 12/10

When I landed in SLC, I used the bathroom despite an anti-trans bathroom ban.

Nobody cared. Nobody ever does.

The truth is, whatever anti-trans laws they keep passing, nobody actually gives a damn or wants to be the bathroom police.

This is the ultimate reason anti-trans hysteria will fail.

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. Right in the White House, Maine Gov Janet Mills goes toe to toe with Trump. Wow.

Gov. Janet Mills not opting for Susan Collins-style acquiescence, it seems. #MEpolitics

The amount of fools on the other place celebrating this as a win for him is disheartening. Thank you to my governor for being very brave. I can’t imagine what it took to speak back at him.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court."

THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

This is Monty. He screams during fetch to let the ball know he's coming for it. Teamwork is all about communication. 13/10

This is McEnroe. He doesn’t have a mortgage, job, or any other form of responsibilities. Which explains why he sleeps so peacefully. 12/10

An orphaned wolf pup named Amora has been paired with a rescue puppy named Slinky. Amora needs socialization to develop properly and Slinky is happy to provide it. Sedgwick County Zoo shared that "Slinky’s playful nature is helping her grow into the wolf she is meant to be." 13/10 for both
