Cool cool cool

Though I will recommend StoryGraph rather than Goodreads 🥰

Just finished Fifth Season, amazing book! Great escape but also great parallels!

For one, the NYTimes, Washington Post, and all the major TV News outlets would cry COUP, TERRORISM, and TYRANNY for sure. Oh, and they'd likely throw in a story about violence against women and children.

Immigrants. DEI. The transgender community. It’s all about making you hate your neighbors instead of the billionaires getting rich off our backs.

Those of us who work in gender medicine are not going anywhere What’s more, we’re expanding.

Beautiful. We are who we need, as long as we take care of and fight for each other. Community, connection, and coalitions are the way forward.

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

There is no LGBTQIA liberation without trans folks, especially trans women of color like Marsha P. Johnson.

Fellow cis queers (and non queers) - our silence is complicity. We have to get loud (not just about Stonewall). NOW.

Actions like these ongoing proof that the “pro-life” label is an absolute farce.

it may not always feel like it, but this was true yesterday, today, and it will be tomorrow. we are going to each do our parts, and we will win. we will build a government that is representative of and responsive to the needs of regular working people, not billionaires.

Workers deserve their fair share.

👏👏👏

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Seems like this will be a balm for these times!

What do we think the penalty will be for those who *lead* diversity trainings? Asking for a friend…

Black history month starts today and this administration would like us to forget it,

N.Y. Hospital Stops Treating 2 Children After Trump’s Trans Care Order The hospital canceled their appointments the same week an executive order from President Trump threatened to punish doctors and hospitals for offering gender-affirming care.

Gender affirming care is suicide prevention.

Plenty of Trump’s EOs might not be legal but that doesn’t mean they aren’t having real, immediate impact…especially when institutions choose to obey in advance.

Martin Luther King, Jr. marching during the movement.

"If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don't want it." MLK, Jr, 1956. The Rev. Dr. King died fighting for justice and equality for the working poor. As you remember his birth don’t misremember his life.
