i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

Ok. So there's A LOT of misinformation about the government shutdown, the continuing resolution and gender-affirming care. There was one article in PinkNews that was VERY shoddy about what Trump said. So let's breakdown what's true and what's BS. 1/

hi, cis folks!

do you trust the senate to decide whether you can have healthcare or if you legally exist under the law or where you can legally wash your hands or pee? neither do we!

please tap into the thread & tell senators our civil rights & lives matterβ€”even more than the jimmy kimmel show!

I hope our @dfl.org leadership takes seriously the experiences of trans, nonbinary, and two-spirit voters in this state.
We have worked hard to build a trans-inclusive Minnesota. Our community growing deep roots here. To see our community dismissed and disregarded in this way is unacceptable.

House HHS Appropriations Bill Would Devastate Trans Adult Healthcare Nationwide The bill would bar federal funding for any "social, psychological, behavioral, or medical intervention" to treat gender dysphoria.

Yet another attack on trans healthcare has been unveiled in a new HHS appropriations bill. This will end all federal funding for trans care at any age, encompassing any social, psychological, behavioral, or medical interventions.

This is quite literally trans genocide, designed to murder poor trans people. And trans people are disproportionately poor. This is a doomsday scenario for countless trans people. I am BEGGING you to contact your reps.

The democrats for 35 years of my life, as far back as I am aware if it, campaigned on protecting Roe V Wade, every email was about how every $ cemented this protection, only to just sit back and let the Right take it away.

Can’t coast on being a protector if you don’t protect.

Trump DOJ is looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns, sources say | CNN Politics Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.

Banning trans people from owning guns is a really REALLY significant escalation and I think the scariest part about it that's not being discussed at all is that the plan is to declare that trans people are mentally ill

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

When a mass shooter is a cis white guy, do all other cis white guys text each other "stay alert, people are not going to be normal about this" or debate whether or not to dress differently when they go out in public for the next few days?

Don't answer, we already know.

Why, why? Why do you do it?
Why, why get up?
Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting... for something?
For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is?
Do you even know?
Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love?
Only a human mind could invent something as
insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson.
You must know it by now.
You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr.
Anderson? Why?
Why do you persist?
