My Dad loved Dahlias and boy he babied them, filling the boot of our car with cow manure to tuck around their roots and digging their tubers up every autumn. I never really liked them but any mention of them & I am again 7 years old & standing out in the rain in solidarity with the man and them.

And part of why Parks trained for that moment was because there *had* been a (much younger) woman who had, nine months prior, spontaneously refused to move to the back of a bus: Claudette Colvin.

She was a girl, in fact, just 15 years old; after her arrest, she became pregnant.

"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isnโ€™t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
