Despite some viral posts (bots, maybe?) telling you Canada is giving LGBTQ refugees a year’s pay as support…it ain’t so. Please don’t count on meme-sharing accounts for your news. Count on reputable news sources (always fact-check) and people who have lived experience.

@beyondxandy.bsky.social so good to have found you today! I tried sending an email to the address on the web site, but it does not work. How can I reach you or @jeymccreight.bsky.social ?

So people receiving SNAP will need to reapply, and they'll need to "be vulnerable, and can't survive without it". Hmm, then how about all the companies not paying a living wage that sell food be required to supply the SNAP amount for free directly to the worker? www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Congrats Benny! Can't wait to see this!

This is our first short done using Unreal Engine to create a realistic animated short film. It's part of a feature project we're doing with Helen Rouge.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Washington state, overseeing Shilling v. U.S., just blocked the anti-trans military ban nationwide.

Being trans is biological in nature and is likely genetic. It runs in families, including the Musk family apparently. He's following directly in Hitler's footsteps, as that is one of the first steps Hitler took in the 1930s when he snatched power in Germany. Who's going to stop this monster?

I've seen the FICA-MED deduction from my paychecks all my life. Being transgender is a medical condition where for me, I need hormones on a daily basis. Yet rules now being proposed block Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA insurance from covering it. 1/2 www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

A thread worth reading:

I'm so looking forward to this!

It's a recurring theme: "Decrease the surplus population" - Scrooge, 19th century "Renew" - Logan's Run, 20th century And many more. When it's manifesting in front of our faces, will we stop it? Billionaires want to choose how long each of us lives. Will we take action, or die?

"Without transgender people at the center of discourse, [many] cisgender people are unable to see transgender rights as anything other than a political debate, thus removing [transgender people's] humanity from the equation ... This is incredibly harmful to the fight for transgender liberation."

Here's a quick, easy and important way to support trans rights - submit public comment to protect passport applicants from ridiculous and harmful proposed regulations. Follow this link for simple steps to submit your comments.

Arkansas' Medicaid work requirements ENDED March 2019 after a federal judge ruled them UNLAWFUL. "Arkansas Works" 1st of its kind & 18,164 people LOST coverage 2018 in Arkansas due to FAILURE to meet the work & reporting requirements. Now Donald Trump wants Medicaid Work Requirements for ALL STATES!

Being transgender is a biological condition, not a choice, nor a mental illness. Over 100 years of research confirms this.

Why has it become ok in our society to view everyone together from a group as the same? That's by skin color, age, gender, sexuality, ability, etc! Especially as evil, or inept! We're not guilty of our brother's or sister's sins automatically. We are individually innocent until proven guilty.

So no more cyber security focused on Russian interference in the US? Wow. I've seen evidence of state sponsored trolls faking being Americans for years. Just because someone claims to be anything in social media doesn't mean they really are. It's up to us as individuals to be skeptical.

I should explain why I don't watch most film and TV. I find that if I watch other people's work, my creativity gets stifled and takes days to recover. I have one feature in production, and other projects at various stages of preproduction or in development. I need to take care of myself.

I haven't seen Emilia Perez, and likely won't. I live under a rock and rarely watch anything that doesn't have one of my clients in, like at a premier. @katelynburns.com wrote a well written piece about it, so I thought I'd share it. Good work, Katelyn!

I typically don't watch award shows, just snippets here and there. They're just fundraisers for the non-profits, and the actual people that benefit are the distributors. Awards don't add zeros to paychecks on future projects. I do think it was great watching Sean win two Oscars. He's a good guy.

It’s 2017 all over again: Republicans are lying about our movement and desperate to downplay your huge organizing numbers. Let’s keep building local power and making the GOP sweat. Find a group near you: indivisible.org/groups Or we can connect you: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

Wow this really puts it into perspective, doesn't it?

Musk et al are cutting NIH funding, Medicaid, likely Medicare, Social Security and more. The result? "...decrease the surplus population..." - Ebenezer Scrooge (and the fake "Christians" writing or supporting Project 2025) When will it be *your* turn to be considered surplus?

Think of going up to a border agent and presenting a passport where the gender marker does not match how you look. That's at a border anywhere in the world. Do they think you've stolen the passport? Will you be detained? State Dept public comment period now open:
