If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Again. Do what you can from where you can.

This guy's boring, get 'im outta here. Anyway, the tea shoppe has finally reopened, and there's a new Earl on the block. #tea www.tiarasnteakettles.com/shop/the/11

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year. Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally. I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data. Share widely.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is just another way trans masc ppl are erased. DIY HRT is largely a trans femme thing. Testosterone is a controlled substance. DIY is not a catch all solution for trans people.

🏳️‍⚧️ For US-based trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people: Point of Pride’s HRT Access Fund is now open for application until June 30, 2025. The recipients of this fund will be provided with 12 months of HRT-related care via the organization. More info: www.pointofpride.org/hrt-access-f...

NEW: Anti-equality lawmakers in the House cut BILLIONS of dollars from Medicaid & food assistance while stripping medically-necessary health care from trans people OF ALL AGES — all to pay for a tax cut for the wealthy. Tell your Senators to vote NO on this attack on our care: hrc.im/federalcuts

This is a productive #discussion b/c if we don't fully agree, it's civilized & at the very least, we have a better #understanding of each other's perspective (w/in reason) He presents a strong argument in support of #LGBTQIA & the value LGBTQIA brings to society 🏳️‍🌈💪🫂

Inside Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”: Judicial Silencing (Sec. 80121(h)). This might be the most authoritarian section in the entire 1,100+ page bill.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law: - Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP - Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

More “woke” billboards, please…

I was finally able to add this long sought after title to my collection this weekend. It will be in good company among my other classics, and queer literature. #waltwhitman #leavesofgrass #queerbooks #poetry #vintagebooks #queerauthors #bookcollector #homelibrary

We don’t want Army strong, we want Army stupid.

Each day brings more and more reasons to fold. I get through by remembering those who didn't have a chance to make it this far, and I'll be damned if I let a bunch of incompetent bigots take my future from me too. Photo taken by me. #teatime #transrights #lgbtqia #resist #survival #quotes

Here's some of the stickers that I'll have available next weekend at #momocon in Atlanta, GA! Will you be there? #metaphor #DarkSouls

This is our moment in history to stand.

Honestly, me too.

You are here.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

I had an urgent care appt today, with a doctor (and nurse) that I've never met. I was treated with more dignity and respect than I get from most people, upon finding out that I'm trans. He also told me, when leaving, to be careful because of all the crazy things happening. And that he was sorry.

If you're interested, this is the supply wishlist for my big (and only) show! Help me make it happen! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

My existence is a rebellion.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

With this much angst, we need to see one hell of a happy ending and soon. #barelysurviving #resist

Hello he lied

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!

Don’t let them scare you. Don’t let them get you to give up hope. This is what they want more than anything. Their evil is never more alive than when we sleep.

PUBLIC PRESSURE WORKS. Our community has so much to say with our spending power, and we put our money where our mouth is. Analysis by Collage Group has found that consumers notice—and respond—when companies reduce their inclusion initiatives.

“With liberty and justice for all, except transgender people.” This One Iowa leader calls out state lawmakers for turning their backs on the fundamental values of our country by gutting civil rights for trans people.

In nine U.S. states lawmakers have proposed measures aiming to overturn same-sex marriage rights #NOH8
