I will be voting YES on Prop 50 in November. We are not in normal times. Bold action is needed to fight these fascists trying to destroy our country and democracy. #stopfascism

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · Aug 21

I just signed the Election Rigging Response Act to put Proposition 50 up for a vote on November 4th.

The people of California will have the power to push back against Texas and any other state that obeys Donald Trump's demand to rig the next election.

Another example of how attacking and trying to erase transgender people is an attack on the entire LGBTQIA+ community. Erase trans folks, erase bi+ folks....I wonder who is next.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What's happened since?

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs

They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

For any LGBTQ+ US folks seeing the post that Canada has created a suicide hotline for US LGBTQ+ people, please note this is misinformation. Perhaps even disinformation to purposely overwhelm a local Trans specific Canadian hotline.

Trans Lifeline @translifeline.org · Apr 28

Please help us correct misinformation!

Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans".

We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community.

I so wish this was true but according to this website this is misinformation that is negatively affecting a local Canadian Trans hotline. Makes me wonder if whomever originally started spreading this info did so to overwhelm this line on purpose.

A square mile doesn’t justify a $134 million military occupation, troops sleeping in squalor, or ICE agents terrorizing our communities. Americans feel unsafe. This Saturday, on #NoKingsDay, let’s show up in numbers—and send a message: we will not be ruled by a mad king.
