Chicago trans rights rally

Proud to be one of the 9 arrested. Instead of speaking to constituents, Gov Little snuck out the back before the work day ended to avoid us. Pretty damn weak. Once again, and unsurprisingly, our community shows more bravery, commitment, and integrity than these elected officials.

“Gov. Little, Please find the courage to find the humanity that our shared faith as Christians calls us to offer to ALL people,” one protestor wrote in a note. “People are hurting.” #idleg #idpol

Little has no shame. As trans Idahoans stood out front for a TDOV rally, Little signed HB752. There is not bottom to their hate. We deserve so much fucking better than this. All love to our trans and gender expansive. Know you are not alone. Find the care and support you need tonight. Love you.

Sending love to our trans and gender expansive community. We deserve better than this hateful shit legislation and all of the assholes who voted in favor of it. Send Gov Little a message - www.weareplannedparenthoodaction.org/a/gov-little...

Public records show that 327 Idahoans registered their position on HB 752. Of those, 279 were opposed, while only 48 were in favor. Idahoans showed up, but this committee ignored them.

If Republicans have their way, "every single day, when I am out in public, I have to ask myself, do I feel like going to jail, or do I feel like being attacked?" writes Nikson Mathews. https://mrf.lu/fVtT

Today you should send love to your trans friends. Tomorrow, too. Maybe every day for a while.

NEW: Democrats have used SCOTUS rulings to galvanize their base — but they won’t do that with Skrmetti, which green lit gender-affirming care bans One Dem said it’s now a states issue Another said trans issues don’t poll well A third pointed me to the Cass report www.notus.org/democrats/tr...

Idaho’s Christian Nationalist GOP has set the stage for whats to come if they remain in office. This session was terrible. Next session will be worse. Every elected Dem needs to put full pressure on the GOP. It has to be unrelenting, loud, and clearly calling out their hate. We need fighters.

1. In 2025, over 850 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been filed across the United States - the most in US history. Most bills target transgender people. The bills have also grown more extreme, reverting drivers licenses, arresting trans people in bathrooms, and more. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Zooey is doing WORK in Montana and teaching everyone several lessons: 1) You can stand on your values as a Democrat and not harm trans people. 2) Doing so can actually move hearts and minds in a traditionally conservative state. 3) There is value in having representation in our halls of power.

Not gonna lie, it's really good to see Obama saying not to capitulate and to lose your federal funds instead of doing fascism willingly. Too many organizations have been throwing LGBTQ+ people under the bus to save their funding from Trump. They still lose their funding, I might add.

In a statement proclaiming National Child Abuse Prevention month, Trump called trans people child abusers and the biggest threat to children.

Called it.

I was asked about how the Democratic Party can avoid their own Tea Party-style revolt. My answer? Too late. Even the most loyal Democratic voters are fed up.

AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together

URGENT ACTION 📣 Tell your senator they must VOTE NO on HB 264 and ADD language to protect people from invasive and dangerous sex-verification inspections: buff.ly/ozAfLda This bill could be voted on as soon as TOMORROW 3/21.

My testimony against H264—a bill banning trans people from facilities in universities, community colleges, correctional facilities, & domestic violence shelters. This bill would take away our ability to exist safely in these spaces. We deserve better than what this legislature is offering us.

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

Tell Governor Little: VETO HB 83 📢 Call 208-334-2100 or click the link and urge Governor Little to veto this harmful, unnecessary bill: buff.ly/VfaXMzX Governor Little should be helping Idahoans, instead of targeting immigrant communities and wasting taxpayer dollars.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Now is not the time to retreat from our values. It’s time to double down. Wear them proudly. This is proof of what is possible.

Remember the saying that capitalism eventually collapses into fascism? Well American democracy and capitalism are quickly collapsing into a bad reality show starring a bunch of odd characters from conservative media, daytime TV and right wing podcasts, all covering for what sure looks like a heist.

"It is no exaggeration to say this will kill people—mainly people who are elderly, disabled and/or poor. Society’s most vulnerable sit in the crosshairs of our nation’s wealthiest people who have absolutely everything, but somehow always want more."

The Gofundme for Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl’s legal fees following her aggressive removal from a public town hall. Teresa happens to be a dear friend. After speaking with her today, it’s clear this situation has been overwhelming. She is seeking legal counsel and she needs our help! Please donate!

Robert Garcia isn’t backing down, saying he’s being threatened with legal action over a “metaphor.”

Former @idahodems.bsky.social candidate for ID House, Teresa Borrenpohl, was removed by force, 2 women were detained for filming, an NIC reporter was injured. Because the crowd booed school vouchers. (URGENT) We need your help identifying the four men in the black coats who assisted Norris. #idpol

My testimony on HB 59, the Medical Defense Act. This bill lets providers deny care based on personal beliefs. This targets gender-affirming care & is dangerous for everyone. If they won’t do their job, that’s failure. Next up it goes to the House floor for a vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DFv_L5m...

Representative Zooey Zephyr - My wife - Speaks against an trans sports ban in Montana. "Bills like this endanger [children] and puts them at risk of real predators causing harm," talks about a soccer coach demanding to see "proof" that 11 year old girls were girls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsf1...

Everybody who says they love & support trans people—it’s time to speak loudly and often that you are opposed to this. That you support us. Get informed. Pay attention. Donate your money to mutual aid orgs who are giving that money to trans & non-binary folks. Show up. I need to see this from you.

Today, the @stonewall-national.bsky.social sent a letter to President Biden urging him to veto the NDAA as written. We stand united in advocating for a clean bill that protects healthcare rights for our LGBTQ+ military families. #StonewallDemocrats #NDAA
