BREAKING: We, alongside the @nwlc.org, are suing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for its flagrant discrimination of transgender workers. We will always defend the rights of the LGBTQI+ community in court.

What is economic opportunity anyway? What does economic opportunity mean for LGBTQ people? Hear from LGBTQ community experts and catch this FIRST of six highlight reels from a panel on financial equality for LGBTQ+ small businesses and their owners. youtu.be/dE1qwlup090?...

More bonkers stuff. Pulte & FHFA are letting VantageScore use its latest, most advanced scoring model (version 4.0) to compete against Classic FICO, a 20-year-old score. He's making FICO compete with one hand behind its back. Is Pulte out to get FICO? www.fhfa.gov/policy/credi...?

What a great day it's been at Boston Pride for the People! So wonderful to be out in community and fighting for LGBTQ financial justice!

Come join us today at Boston City Hall for the LGBTQ+ Pride Flag Raising Ceremony!!!

David Brooks says it sensibly and clearly: "These are not separate battles. This is a single effort to undo the parts of the civilizational order that might restrain Trump’s acquisition of power. And it will take a concerted response to beat it back." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

Trump and company back at it again trying to dismantle the #CFPB. Slashing enforcement staff and refocusing the CFPB on non-banks, and not payment platforms like the one that Elon Musk is attempting to turn X into. So... you know. Another solid day for crony capitalism

You can't make this stuff up. When the free market determines that Trump is a bad investment, what does Trump do? Intervene in the marketplace to FORCE the market to say he's a good businessman. He's patently not, and everyone knows it. He's just a bully subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

It was always our intuition that DAFs were a racket. Thanks to @inequality.org we now know for sure. inequality.org/article/the-...

***This is the bad place*** "The government is using AI technology to locate any criminal activity amongst student visa holders and revoke their visas." No. REPEAT AFTER US: AI DOES NOT REPLACE FACT FINDING OR HUMAN JUDGEMENT kslnewsradio.com/utah/visa-re...

Is this the country we have become? Or is this the country we always were, and now it is too obvious to ignore? Either way, it is unacceptable. The people of Georgia and the U.S. deserve better than the unaccountable and unresponsive governance of Representative Greene

Happy Tax Day.

DOGE cannot be trusted with your personal data. Concerned citizens have said it, now so are whistleblowers. Read NPR's reporting about DOGEs shifty, illegal, and downright dangerous use of your personal data, and how bad their security is. 👀👀👀 www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The climate has always changed. Gender has always been fluid. The far-right isn’t defending nature — they’re defending control.

Colorado passes sweeping protections for trans and abortion rights: ‘It’s about taking control’

We'll be coming to DC for #InclusionDay, with our cameras, protest gear, and demands for full economic inclusion for all trans, gnc, and LGBTQ people AND the liberation of our siblings and allies from violence and oppression Who wants to march with us? www.wearevivid.org/event-detail...

Could have been two words shorter!

#HandsOff FEMA!!!! The Dept of Homeland Security has created a plan to dismantle #FEMA, which provides critical disaster response services across the U.S. @nlihc.bsky.social has created this tool to contact your Congress persons to tell them to protect #FEMA. nlihc.quorum.us/campaign/118...

We are so grateful for our members like Abigail Disney, who know what we're working towards requires persistence. And while there are days that appear bleaker than others, it is optimism that bring us forward to brighter days and a stronger, more equitable future. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Props to @rm-equality.bsky.social's Bruce Parker for speaking to 9 News, Denver's NBC affiliate: “[SB 201] is not about building trust between families and with kids. It’s about tracking and surveillance.” We couldn't have said it better.

Whuh-oh. Looks like some good trouble is coming, and we don't think the Administration can honestly stop millions of workers from... *not* doing something. Count us in

In a small-minded opinion piece, @denverpost.com's Krista Kafer mocks the @fsc.bsky.social's existence and completely omits mention of trans people, other LGBTQ people, reproductive rights, sexual health, or other reasons to be concerned about this bill. www.denverpost.com/2025/04/03/p...

Every worker deserves a fair wage for a fair day's work. This critical measure by @bobbyscott.house.gov will ensure that workers across the U.S whose wages have stagnated for decades get a fair share of the wealth they create. We are proud to endorse this bill! bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center...

We could all use some good vibes right now while we plan for some good trouble. An oldie but a goodie gets a modern take for the #HandsOff Movement: youtu.be/gMZy3bNcCdA?...

Repeat after me: A budget is a statement of priorities, and hatred should have NO place in any State's budget, especially when those proposals have NOTHING TO DO WITH BUDGETING OR SPENDING AND ABUSE FISCAL PROCESSES TO HIDE BIGOTRY... If you want fiscal responsibility, then BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE

"The Trump administration decided the president’s massively expensive ad campaign thanking himself for his anti-immigrant crackdown should be exempt from DOGE’s 'cost efficiency' review." See how this works?

Sadly most of the videos we took at #HandsOff Boston are too large of a file size to share here. But you can find a YouTube playlist with our favorite clips and quotes of the day HERE: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Always a class act, Bette Midler is a friend who has used her voice for change authentically and with purpose for years. Much love to you

In another completely illegal invasion of the private data of *every* person in the U.S., the Administration is now using tax information to index people and target them for state-ordered violence and incarceration. These flagrant violations of law MUST be stopped NOW. #HandsOff the IRS!

We were proud to see our friends and allies today at #HandOff Boston Over 100,000 citizens came to this cradle of Democracy to declare firmly that we will not tolerate any kings or tyrants in this country. We are organized, we are powerful, and we will rebuild this democracy together.

👏👏👏 State Sen. Nick Hinrichsen calls it for what it is in the @coloradosun.com: "Senate Bill 201 is not just about protecting children — it’s about creating a dangerous precedent for government overreach, privacy violations and censorship." coloradosun.com/2025/04/03/o...

It is obvious that the Administration will do everything it can to suppress marginalized voices, communities, and their allies. We continue to applaud #Disney for remaining an ally to the LGBTQ community and condemn this despicable act by a government run amuk

my assumption has been that musk is building unified profiles for everyone using all data the federal government has access to, including commercial, consume, and private data like this. we've seen hints in filings and memos but it's also just kind of obvious. here's fairly banal peek. yay!

Yesterday, CLEAR ED Spencer Watson told the CO Senate HHS Committee that SB 25-201, the current proposal to restrict access to websites because of sexual content, is not right because it is dangerously close to restricting access to healthcare and education. Listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dBh...

We told CO legislators to reject SB 25-201 It remains unclear what costs will be paid, by whom, and to whom the financial benefits of this law will accumulate. The only player seemingly making money off of this law is the age verification industry. lgbtq-economics.org/2025/03/28/c...

Just to be clear on this point. The LGBTQ community celebrates our allies, and we do not forget the cowardice of those who tolerate bigotry with silence & inaction. Corporations take note: We will remember your actions and we do not tolerate false friends. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/u...

On April 5, we’re uniting with organizers around the country to say Hands Off! Join us in fighting back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. Join us and millions around the country in rejecting the illegal & dangerous actions of this unaccountable administration. www.mobilize.us/handsoff/c/h...

When they said "You've never had a friend like me" they meant it. Big kudos to #Disney shareholders for rejecting bigotry and inequality, and standing up for their LGBTQ+ employees and customers! variety.com/2025/biz/new...

*ahem*

New survey findings show that the U.S. LGBTQI+ community experiences high rates of discrimination, challenges in accessing health care, and more. Explore the report from @caitesmith.bsky.social and @hvnorrisphd.bsky.social:

There is an #AuthenticityGap in corporate support for LGBTQ communities. When CLEAR and @mapresearch.bsky.social surveyed 2,500 LGBTQ people in 2023 they said that companies "actively" supported the LGBTQ community more than they said that companies "authentically" supported the community.

In 2023, CLEAR and @mapresearch.bsky.social surveyed 2,500 LGBTQ adults and asked them about their financial lives. We also asked them what they thought financial companies could do to best support LGBTQ people. Here's what they said:
