This approach strips people of their rights and perpetuates cycles of incarceration and poverty—what some have called modern-day slavery. We risk allowing law enforcement to detain people without due process, echoing patterns seen in authoritarian regimes when mental illness is criminalized.

The promise of expanding mental health care has often been a cover; in reality, many unhoused and mentally ill individuals are funneled into jails due to lack of treatment options.

It’s disturbing that instead of investing in mental health facilities, states like Texas are seeing a rise in private prison infrastructure—often built on military bases and Native lands.

Every year, the backlash to Pride Month serves as a poignant reminder of why Pride exists in the first place. Pride was never meant to be palatable or marketable - it was, and still is, a protest.

^It is not idiocy but intentional^

An uninformed / poorly educated, unwell, and financially desperate population is easier to manipulate.

In a time where censorship and surveillance are rising threats, especially for LGBTQ+ communities, we need a resilient alternative to Signal and WhatsApp. Here’s why XMPP might be our safety net.

Most secure messaging apps today rely on centralized systems. But what happens if they are taken down?

That looks like my weighted blanket. 😁 What an adorable kitty

Exactly! Let him take it and see what happens.

Here's an idea... They want to run the country like their failing businesses and purposefully bankrupt all of us for their benefit. Let's become the "Blackstone" coalition and buy them out with collateral of the blue states. A hostile takeover requires mass effort. E Pluribus Unum

In other countries, this type of defiance leads to an uprising by the younger generations and the military personnel who support them.

What will Americans do? This country is built on violent insurrections and the perseverance of its citizens. Will the populace assert their freedom? Time will tell

The person is likely cis gendered white and therefore a law abiding citizen regardless of their action in this dystopian society.

The House just passed the SAVE Act. It threatens to disenfranchise millions, especially trans people, married women, and marginalized communities. This isn't about safeguarding elections; it's about silencing voices. It is already illegal for non-citizens to vote.
What idiots voted for this bill?

Trans individuals, who often face challenges updating identification documents, are disproportionately affected. Similarly, married women who have changed their surnames and lack updated passports or birth certificates could find themselves barred from voting.

I’m beyond pissed. This is a calculated move to suppress votes under the pretense of preventing fraud. I'm furious that our rights are being stripped away systematically. We must recognize this for what it is: a direct attack on our democracy and identities.

#WeWillNotBeErased #ProtectOurVote

What? Robots can do that type of job of screwing circuit boards and installing parts on small devices. No Americans want to do this unless they are destitute and desperate. Oh wait! That's why they purposefully collapsed the economy and destroyed social security and devalued homes.

" 130 million adults in the country have low literacy skills, meaning that more than half (54%) of Americans between the ages of 16 and 74 read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level."

That explains why using pronouns out of respect is regarded as forcing gender ideology down their throats.

No cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other benefits NY’ers depend on Recess is a time for members of Congress to return to their home states. They should be using this week to meet with their constituents, give space for their concerns, and take that back to D.C. Inst...

DO NOT GIVE UP VOLUNTARILY OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!

** WE CAN STILL FIGHT THIS **

Yes! Public education, announcement about everything the admin is deleting and defunding.

Do not believe that they have the power to do what they say! Marbury v. Madison ruling set precedence on executive power.

"courts and judges were not allowed “to control the executive’s legitimate power"

Just because they want it doesn't mean they have the power to execute unless we allow it!

Unfortunately, Dems already fleeced by corporations and no longer vested to protect the interest of ordinary Americans. Look at how they throw Transgender people under the bus.
The entire country either will implode or our money will be wiped out and left as a third world nation. Oh well, Karma.

Why are the Democrats not up in arms about the takeover of the Treasury department payment system? Now they can enforce their agenda and starve us of any financial access if we are against them. This is extremely dangerous.

We need to educate so many Americans that gender affirming care for us is a matter of life and death. We need it before our distress from having gender incongruence intensifies and spirals out of control.

Education and advocacy are critical. We need more voices to help the public recognize that we exist, that our lives have value, and that we deserve to thrive as part of society.

Thank you, Lambda Legal, for your unwavering support in protecting our vulnerable community.

By ensuring access to affirming care for trans youth, we can help prevent the devastating consequences of societal pressure and discrimination, including suicide.

The profound distress of gender incongruence often leads to severe mental health struggles, and for many, the lack of timely support can be life-threatening.

As a trans woman, it deeply saddens me that so many still fail to understand the necessity of life-saving medical care for transgender individuals—whether through hormone therapy, essential medications, or, later in life, surgical procedures.

@elizaorlins.bsky.social Is the USCIS application support center safe for transgender now? I have an appt for fingerprint next week for replacement of cert of Naturalization. Both passport and N-565 were submitted prior to Jan 20th. I only have enhanced DL and soc sec # with correct name and gender.

It's purposefully done to create chaos and confusion so they can siphon more money from tax payers' and exterminate transgender people without care or repercussion. Even the Dems threw us under the bus. At this point, I don't care. I don't even exist anymore. So go ahead, destroy each other.

@maddow.msnbc.com Sobbing ... I guess erasing transgender people and possibly eradicating us by any means, is not important enough. Let us know when our government is going to round us up into box cars for extermination. I would like to end my life before this happens in my own country.
