1. Getting word that we have another anti-trans EO tonight, this time targeting teachers.

It directs the federal government to work with state AGs to put teachers who use trans kids pronouns in jail through "sexual exploitation" laws or "practicing medicine without a license."

Press release about MAGA's attacks that states: 
β€œTrump’s latest executive order aimed at trans people is, in a word, evil. From forcing the Department of Health and Human Services to publish anti-trans propaganda instead of research, to investigating and prosecuting doctors, to taking healthcare away from the children of federal employees because they are trans, this executive order makes one thing perfectly clear: Trump and MAGA Republicans want trans people dead.”

β€œDemocrats need to fight tooth and nail to protect the families and children who will be devastated by MAGA hatred and bigotry. There is no compromise with a political party foaming at the mouth to pass bills that explicitly target whole groups of people just because they’re different.”

A massive thread of resources, history, information, and material to help you not only fight and understand book censorship but protect the incredible democratic institutions of public libraries and public education.

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined.

Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

Quote graphic with Rep. Rashida Tlaib on it that reads β€œTrans people, like all people, deserve to live with equal rights and human dignity. The hateful policies being pushed by far-right Republicans across our country have dangerous consequences. This Congress, we will continue to fight against anti-trans legislation and work to build a country where every American lives free from discrimination. Republican extremists need to stay out of our families' private decisions and stop policing our bodies. Every American deserves the right to make decisions about their own bodies.”

Trump and his far-right Republicans continue to attack the trans and LGBTQ+ community.

We need leaders like Rashida Tlaib who will continue to fight against anti-trans legislation and ensure every American can live free from discrimination.

Thank you for being in this fight with us Rep. Tlaib. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

HR 29 DOESN'T secure our border.

What is DOES do is subject people who have been arrestedβ€”even if never CHARGED OR CONVICTEDβ€”to mandatory immigration detention.

That means someone FALSELY ACCUSED of even taking a candy bar would be detained. Even kids.

Therefore I VOTE NO.

Democrats who want to be relevant and have a future with the party, look at AOC, Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, Senators Van Hollen and even Murphy right now.

They're the ones calling it out, refusing to bend the knee, and reflecting the righteous anger of America against the broligarchy.

Here is a photo of a trans non-binary biologist (me) holding a bird (Eastern Towhee) that is likely a bilateral gynandromorph-- a fusion of cells with female-type chromosomes and cells with male-type chromosomes in one bird!

pinup illustration of ilya kolyanovich, my campaign’s trans man β€œ ireena kolyana β€œ, sitting in strahd’s throne with strahd’s cloak obscuring his body under his foot. ilya holds the sun sword, which glows and impales the cloak beneath him.
ilya has a sturdy build, short red hair, and light brown skin. since his chest is bare you can see he has double mastectomy scars as well as scars from battle. strahds throne has had the top sliced off. behind ilya a stylized sun rises. this illustration was done for a side pinup collab for memento mori, a curse of strahd zine.

Trans Scouts selling GS cookies this year on my list have sold over 50,000 boxes of GS cookies!

If you want girl scout cookies, consider buying from a trans girl scout this year! They'll mail them to you!

This is literally my fav thing to do every year :)

It was a Nazi salute, and he did it with his whole chest. The media should not play along and sanitize this. Again, the salute along with his words matter and add to the context!
