A group of men violently assaulted a transgender veteran in Seattle walking home from work. They cited Trump's trans military ban as they beat her.

One of the perpetrators was already wanted for domestic violence and was previously charged with a hate crime.

A passage of text describing an incident where a victim was attacked by two men who punched and kicked them. The victim escaped into a restaurant, pursued by the attackers, but was protected by customers. The attackers reportedly used the phrase "Semper Fi" and referenced "Trump ending transgender acceptance in the military." Police arrived shortly after.

This is actually in tne works; it’s called the SAVE Act, and it’s a horrific gateway to Handmaids Tail times :(

This is a 5 alarm fire. They're going to pull down all publicly available data, studies, guidance, etc that involves LGBTQ people so when the worst happens to us, no one will know. They're actively trying to erase us.

I’ve started using Notes as a way to jot down quick thoughts (and get past the character limit here lol). Don’t worry, I use a physical journal to jot down the really critical stuff. With that said…

Donald Trump is pardoning insurrectionists and renaming geographic landmarks to distract you from the fact he is literally about to freeze all federal assistance dollars.

He is flooding the zone to distract you. Don't let him!

This is downright genocidal. Revoking access to HIV meds will cause new infections to skyrocket while current patients deteriorate as HIV goes untreated.

I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.

A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

If you’re defending Elon Musk, why don’t you post a video of yourself doing the exact same thing? Go ahead.

Get dressed in a nice suit or dress, get in front of your camera.

Exactly the same face. Exact same gesture. Tag your boss. Tag your family.

Do it. I dare you.

It was a fucking Shnatzy salute. Plain and simple. TWICE. Not a fucking ‘Roman salute’, and not an “Awkward gesture”. Fuck you ADL. He knew exactly what he was doing.

CapCut is still down so Meta is going to take advantage to launch their own carbon copy video editor after they lobbied to ban their competition.

"Screenshot of a social media post by Mosseri, announcing a new app called 'Edits.' The text states the app is designed for creators passionate about making videos on their phones, emphasizing the importance of providing tools for creators amidst current challenges. The post includes a video thumbnail of Mosseri speaking, with shelves and books visible in the background."

I feel the same, and expect to watch TT become weaponized. Still hoping for an alternate app to move to.
