🚨 ICE is abducting sex workers‼️According to @truthout, “From 2018 to 2021, ICE conducted more than 13,000 raids targeting sex work venues.” Many without warrants. Some from shelters. One woman was detained at a shelter while recovering from an assault. Follow @familiatqlm.bsky.social & @snap4freedom

🦋Defending the rights of migrant sex workers is essential to a broader movement for immigrant justice. truthout.org/articles/sex...

🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍🌈At Seattle Pride, our Co-Executive Director Jennicet Gutiérrez reminded us what fearless, trans-led leadership looks like. 📢 Stay tuned as we announce the additions to our team — ¡sigue pendiente cuando le demos la bienvenida a tres nuevas personas al equipo!

@imarajones.bsky.social TUNE IN 🎧 | TX Reps sneak in anti-trans legislation. UN draft report falsely claims gender dysphoria is a social contagion, raising alarm bells about global policy shifts. A trans asylum seeker from Mexico has finally been released from ICE custody in Washington state.

“Transgender asylum seeker released from ICE custody following order from federal judge in Oregon” It is detrimental to release ALL our vulnerable people from detention. #EndTransDetention

#EndTransDetention Under the direction of the Trump administration, ICE has ditched a series of policies that sought to reduce the risk of sexual assault, medical neglect, and mistreatment of transgender individuals in detention, including its 2015 “Transgender Care Memorandum.” (1/2)

Ser drag es mucho más que maquillaje, tacones y brillo: es arte, es rebeldía, es identidad. 💥 Cada 16 de julio celebramos a quienes, a través del drag, desafían los estereotipos de género, juegan con la expresión y construyen espacios de libertad y diversidad. 🌈

#NonBinary Affirmations for our movements that are interconnected. 1. The existence of nonbinary people doesn’t threaten our movement — it completes it. By making room for everyone’s truth, we build a united front strong enough to win real, material change for all trans and nonbinary people. (1/4)

📢 💅🏽 Defend the DOLLS against ICE and transphobia! Trans communities deserve to live, thrive, and love without fear of detention, deportation, or hate. Show up to a Migra Watch training, speak out against transphobia, and build networks of care and protection that keep each other safe.

🏳️‍⚧️🏛️ Hoy la Corte Suprema de EE.UU. —en el caso Estados Unidos v. Skrmetti— respaldó la prohibición de cuidados afirmativos (bloqueadores de pubertad, hormonas) para menores trans y no binaries, abriendo la vía a que unas 25 estatales refuercen restricciones similares. 🎥 : Pea Núñez @peanunez

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans kids deserve care. Deserve protection. Deserve to live. The Supreme Court ruled against trans youth and trans history. This is a step back toward trans liberation. This ruling is not the end — it’s a call to resist stronger than EVER.

Zaddys and daddys who ride for the dolls do it con orgullo y sin vergüenza. 💅🏽 This Father’s Day, defend a las muñecas (the dolls) —trans women facing ICE and transphobia every day. El cuidado es sagrado. El amor es acción. ❤️‍🔥

Trans women have died in ICE custody—like Victoria Arellano in California, Roxsana Hernández in New Mexico, and Johana Medina in Texas. When we say ABOLISH ICE, we’re not just talking about shutting down an agency. We’re demanding an end to detention. #NoPrideInDetention
