Congress: Save Medicaid Now Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

The Senate just voted to strip Medicaid away from millions of people across the country.

There's no time to waste β€” tell your Representatives to protect our health care and save Medicaid.

This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.

To proceed to the survey, please check off the box and click the button below.

Hey folks,

I have a huge request for Pride:

Trevor Project is recruiting for a landmark new study. If you are LGBTQ, in the United States, and between 13-24 or know someone who is, pass this along to them.

Trevor’s research has led to meaningful defenses of queer and trans lives.

Take the survey

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

one of my coworkers is very β€œbeautiful woman was ugly duckling/late bloomer and doesn’t see how beautiful she is” and it’s so crazy how deep her complex goes, like she’s 5’9” but thinks she’s shorter than everyone else because she was such a late bloomer

ok so an important thing i really think people on bluesky need to hear about the anti-trans megabill

the tl;dr is that you could actually turn the tide of trans rights in america right now

but if you don’t act now, then we’re all cooked indefinitely

please read on

April Jobs Report: Black Women Lost 106,000 Extra Jobs, Most Among All Workers Fresh numbers reveal that unemployment for Black workers this year is steadily rising, especially for Black women.

Weird how this hasn’t gotten more coverage outside of the Black press. But, we know Black women are *supposed* to be living in financial precarity, unlike the vaunted β€œwhite working class”

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.

There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

thea muldani war on Twitter may never end, latest laugh was about how Thea hate could never involve racism bc we love how black and powerful Dan is like that’s not just another stereotype and people don’t explicitly say they hate Thea bc she’s black and a woman so it can’t be misogynoir

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older (pre-21st century) LGBT science fiction book I've managed to track down - currently just over 200 titles πŸš€
