Black history is American history, and the attack on Black history is an attack on American history.

It's right out of the fascist playbook - rewriting and erasing the past so they can control the future.

We stand together to reaffirm #HandOffOurHistory.

The Department of Health and Human Services just released its garbage report on gender affirming care. They left the authors anonymous because they're cowards and want to limit criticisms of bias. That said, it's clear this was authored by SEGM members.

Anonymous authors. In other words, less trustworthy than even a random reddit post (you can check out user profiles there)

./sigh Time to fire up the ol' FOIA so we can find out who the authors are ... in a few years after the legal fight is over.

Right…a lot of misinformation in this stupid “report”.

New French guidelines show doctors overwhelmingly support gender-affirming care - LGBTQ Nation The medical guidelines contradict numerous conclusions from the UK's infamous Cass Review.

#MayDay & #InternationalWorkersDay
Thank you for all you do!
We stand with workers everywhere. We recognize the power of unions to advance democracy at home & abroad, secure a living wage & safe working conditions. Join, support or create a union. Together we are stronger.

And meanwhile on the other side of the pond…

Today's the day!!! We'll be out in the streets today to stop the billionaire takeover and stand with workers and our immigrant friends and neighbors for justice. Will we see you there? maydaystrong.org

In Champaign County, IL, we will be out bit quieter, in a candlelight vigil for hope connecting communities.

Instead it becomes a major, permanent social problem for those young people, since their future lives and freedoms will be seriously curtailed by being legally barred from using the other sex’s spaces while appearing anomalous in those for their own sex.

I'm not kidding. That's the fucking argument. "Kids will be harmed by the policy we rammed through once they grow up, so do conversion therapy on them."

Every review of youth gender medicine is just, "there's evidence that this helps and no evidence that this causes harm, but here's why that doesn't count."

Let's do this, my friends. Hope to see you at the May Day rally in Berryville, Virginia today at 4 pm.

#MayDay Here at #AltGov we honor to contributions of the working class. We believe in livable wages, safe working conditions, that one job should be enough to live comfortably, and the right for all workers to unionize. #WeSeeYou and we (some of us) ARE you. ✊🏼🫶🏼

No new autism registry, HHS says, walking back NIH director's claim The federal health department is not creating a new registry of Americans with autism, an HHS official said Thursday.

As we leave you tonight, we are energized to see pushback working. We will remain vigilant.

The power of the people is stronger than the people in power.

Oh thank God... That shit was terrifying.

But also, how can we say they'll not just do it in secret? I don't trust RFK as far as I can spit. 😕

We don't. I am fairly sure the idea is to make people once again be too afraid to seek a diagnosis, thereby making it appear as though RFKJoker's antivaxer conspiracy nut nonsense actually works. Manipulation of numbers through fear is not new to this administration.

You know that he is going to continue to build this registry behind our backs!

Watching the livestream outside of the federal courthouse in Milwaukee right now and it's beautiful. So many people standing up to fascism, intimidation of our own government officials, and Trump admin myopic focus on abducting immigrants at all costs. www.facebook.com/VocesdelaFro... #JudgeDugan

Crowd rallies at Wilmington Social Security office in latest 'Hands Off' protest A crowd gathered outside of Wilmington's Social Security Administration building Thursday as one of several recent 'Hands Off' protests in the area.

"We're here, showing our support not only for Social Security as the entity but also for the workers.

We're fully behind them and we want them to keep their jobs." @indivisiblewilmy.bsky.social

Well, he has a passport, so it’s a non-issue for him. It’s all the Americans with name changes without passports who could be disenfranchised by this disgusting bill.

They have passports, something poor people wouldn’t use and can’t afford. 😒
