I vote for "Hey Netflix, how about ordering Season 3 of Dead End?" Wouldn't that be a great way to be able to finish the animated version of Barney and Norma's story AND stick it to the annoying folks harassing you about your wonderful show.

Here I am hoping humanity is outraged by kids in zip ties, but all I see trending is sports news and an AI actress. People. WAKE THE F UP.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

Time for TRANS KIDS 2: THE INTAKE EXAM AND TRANS FLIGHT

And I'm bringing back #Letters4TransKids

a handwritten letter in pink ink that reads: Hi trans kids! I’m trans just like you. I was a trans kid, too, but I didn’t figure that out until I was an adult. You’re already so far ahead of the game! I’m so happy you’ve found your true self, and please know the people who disagree are wrong. Don’t EVER listen to anyone who thinks they know who you are better than you do. Things are scary right now, but you are not alone. You are loved, and we will never stop fighting for you. <3 Tilly <3

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...
"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."
The serious concerns over how the Order will detrimentally impact transgender youth cannot be overstated. One Washingtonian, as her parents describe her, was a bright and gentle soul who loved playing musical instruments, trying new things, and playing Magic the Gathering. She was excited to learn Japanese and the impact of gender-affirming care was immediately clear to her family. Her parents described that “her joy was clear with every new milestone in her transition. She was so happy to get to the next step, to get closer to presenting in a way that was true to herself.” But the day before the presidential election, she shared, “[t]omorrow I get to find out if I’m illegal.” After the election, she asked her parents if they could move to Canada because she was fearful of new restrictions on transgender youth and worried about losing access to gender-affirming care. In January 2025, she took her life. After the Order issued, her parents expressed that the outlook for transgender futures looks scary and shared fears of what ending gender-affirming care would have meant for their daughter’s access to therapy, puberty-delaying medication, hormones, and hope of surgery. Her parents have expressed fear for the many lives who depend on gender-affirming care and that what happened to their daughter does not happen to any other children.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.
