I'm sorry, abolishing ICE is now off the table as the centrist compromise. The floor is now The Hague.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

the last instance of this i had heard of was fairly recently. ICE killed roxsana hernandez. transgenderlawcenter.org/case/roxsana...

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing https://theonion.com/protesters-urged-not-to-give-trump-administration-pretext-for-what-it-already-doing/

liberals are impossible to satirize

Yup. If you’re wearing an “I Voted” sticker, they’ll pass over you like it’s the blood of the lamb

theres so much horrible shit about the murder of renee good, but there is something deeply terrifying about the way everyone from media to politicians have erased her wife from the story. ive seen far more mention of her late husband than her wife who was sitting next to her when she was murdered

yeah be careful or they'll start shooting us in the face for no reason!!!

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

Each fresh horror unleashed brings me back to Aimé Césaire. “That they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples.”

1. Good news for trans people in Vermont. A bill was just filed that would fund private trans youth care clinics across the state. It would be a major shield from Trump funding threats which have caused hospitals to shut their doors. But it has to pass first. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

i love u gay and trans people in my phone

I'm seeing some comments saying stuff like "No US President has ever done anything like the kidnapping of Maduro before" and altho I relate to the outrage behind such a comment, I encourage you to look up the history of United States presidents before you post this

'americans didnt vote for this!!!' i just. i dont care. can we please fucking center venezuelans. colombians, cubans, mexicans, who are all next on the chopping block. please. im asking.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Blockbuster interview about institutional transphobia at the New York Times that names names of the bigots responsible: A.G. Sulzberger, Joe Kahn, Carolyn Ryan at the top, plus Pamela Paul, Jeremy Peters, Azeen Ghorayshi, Katie J.M. Baker, & an entire anti-trans pro-mgmt splinter group in the union

Maybe this is close minded of me but I feel like for romance to be sapphic, at least one of the characters involved should be a woman

There's nothing transphobic in saying that trans men have male privilege, like there's nothing misogynistic in saying that cis women have cis privilege, but because of the nature of transphobia of viewing trans ppls identities as

My dog and two cats love to throw up on the floor and they represent 60% of the household. As a leader I can't just ignore public opinion so I also throw up on the floor sometimes to stay popular

My family tortured me and beat me and did things to me that if a cis woman wrote or talked about them it would immediately be seen as horrific and terrifying. But when I talk or write about it...it's like seen as part of the "narrative." Just a part of being trans. Something I signed up for I guess

TA’s get assistantships to teach while going to school fulltime. So by firing her from the TA position, she has also most likely lost her assistantship. This means she has to come up with money to pay for school and rent and groceries because now she has no income. This was a hit job.

On top of likeability just being very subjective, I think this one can trip authors up too—there can be a strong urge to shield your characters from messing up too much, looking too bad. I've seen how easily this an undermine an otherwise strong story concept

A second national anti-trans healthcare bill has passed the US House, a medicaid ban for trans youth. 4 Democrats crossed party lines to vote for it. Henry Cueller (TX), Vincente Gonzalez (TX), Don Davis (NC), and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA). It is not expected to get through the Senate filibuster.

help may get to some doctors visits!!

I will NEVER vote for a politician who votes for anti-trans legislation. Never. I don't care who it is, it's a dead issue. Move on. If my vote is so important to the future of democracy they should have thought of that before they voted to exterminate my child.

Here is a complete list of all the Senators and Reps who sold trans people out to keep the trillion dollar giant military death machine running.

In late stage capitalism, having the ostensibly more left major party support your right to die when you are no longer useful to capital rather than supporting your right to pain medication, healthcare, counseling, housing—ie your right to LIVE—is fitting

I very much oppose Canada’s MAID because it’s literally just eugenics. But holy fuck, America especially does NOT need a version of that. I cannot imagine how outraged I’d be if I went to a neurologist for my almost certainly early onset Parkinson’s and was instead offered MAID

Trans men who aren't on T aren't a threat to me. Idgaf. Last week my student came to me asking how he could deal with dysphoria and his transphobic family. He said he couldn't transition because he'd be disowned. THAT KID IS A MAN LIKE ME. WE ARE BOTH MEN. HE IS A MAN.

man, the collective grief from older trans people at the violent death of the world we briefly hoped was coming, a world in which trans children would be recognised, loved, and helped... yeah.

1. In a stunning new bill proposed by several New Hampshire republicans, transgender women could be charged with trespass for using the bathroom. The bill is the first to apply to PRIVATE businesses. It also ONLY applies to transgender women, not trans men. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. For weeks, EITM has reported that Republicans would push a trans healthcare ban in their ACA negotiations. Now, the plan is released, and it includes heavy restrictions on ACA plans, a medicaid ban, an EHB ban, and more. Democrats must not capitulate.

I mean ending prison rape protections, come the fuck on!! They are openly declaring that they believe trans women should be brutally raped in prison! Where is the outrage?

Like this is their singular focus. It's not a distraction, it is what they see as their responsibility to do because they were elected. My people are seeing every right we have ground to dust before our eyes. The Trump admin is a machine at identifying some dignity we won 20 years ago and poof gone

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies. This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week. This is almost everything the government is doing.

happy holiday season! any parent that won't accept your queer identity is abusive. this is not nuanced. a non-abusive parent wouldn't demand you to serve their own comfort and desires, especially at the expense of your happiness and autonomy 💕

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

he never looks at JD that way

Good evening all. For this year's Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR), TFR remembers three transfeminine authors who passed away this year: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (78), Valerie Amelia Thompson (38), and Michelle Duff (85) 🖤 We also remember 367+ victims of anti-trans violence and suicide 🕯️ #tdor

lol

Holy shit reverse MeToo is wild

"what's one sexual experience you had that gets this type of reaction"

"hitler" is new trans slang for person who sucks. apparently, there are enough of us insufficiently acquiescent to the gender ideology cult that took over my healthcare movement, they need a derogatory term for us
