This isn’t like Iraq though it is eerily similar. History has shown the US loves to destabilize and overthrow govs that won’t give them resources. Difference here is public military invasion was not approved by congress. Trump is aiming to be a forever president aka dictator.

I think I’ll be removing the section on US gov “balances of power” because the president can apparently just do a military invasion without congressional approval and the repercussions is a democrat zoom meeting.

This holiday, thousands of kids are waking up to their families not present because ICE kidnapped them. Hundreds of kids are in an ICE prison.
This country is doing what it was built to do, BUT we have the ability and obligation to stand up against it. Don’t just read about it. Act. Get involved.

Yearly reminder that Jesus was born in Palestine and is Palestinian.
Palestinian Christians are being actively arrested, their celebrations shut down in Haifa. There is no ceasefire. Over 70,000 Palestinians have been murdered and ceasefires violated 875 times for the last 2 years.

There are so many moments that can feel devoid of light. Especially right now where capitalism takes hold and so many lean into money to spend versus supporting each other.
So many of us are so tied to our own individuality in the US that we fail to see the power we hold with each other.

It feels like we are screaming into a void. Attacks on us constantly, a bill passing that will strip healthcare away from kids, and it’s not even trending.
But this article gives a moment of hope. A moment for us to see that people and orgs are stepping up when it matters. We need more of you to.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

I know we are fighting for trans right to healthcare but it would be nice if things were framed more around our humanity and right to healthcare vs “having this lowers suicidal rate”.
Like we should just be able to say trans people should have access to healthcare. The end. 🙃

Awareness and visibility do not equal safety.
Because of the lack of care and vigilance for trans people, we have now:
1. Seen over 1,000 anti trans bills this year alone
2. Seen an uptick of violence against trans people
3. Experienced attacks against our healthcare and access to it

They took a teacher today in Chicago.
But 31 Moms for Liberty bigots all lost their elections.
But they are still holding kids in ICE custody.
Multiple trans people won elections yesterday.
But our rights are being decimated.
The whiplash of emotions is real BUT the hope is vivid, real.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Halloween is a gift to the queers.
To the ones that couldn’t express themselves.
To the wild gender play.
To the weird and stigmatized.
This is our day.
Even with snide comments, laughs behind closed hands,
We strutted, catwalked.
Because on this day,we got to be.

Today, people will dress up, call people by different names, use different pronouns, play with gender expression.
But tomorrow, they will continue to blame trans and nonbinary people for their issues and complain about remembering their correct pronouns. 🙃

When the first response is to blame trans people for shootings WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that’s the narrative. That’s believing we should be locked up because of “mental illness”. That’s painting us as “dangerous” so it’s seen as a fact.

I don’t often talk about my mental health battle with suicidal ideation because of how intrinsically connected it is to being trans in our community.
I say that because I wanted to share that we can be beautifully trans first rather than a statistic.

Let this Labor Day be a reminder that no labor is “unskilled”, that thousands of workers have been “let go” due to a political agenda, and that capitalism is working as it was meant to be.
Workers were not meant to thrive, only survive (barely), in this society.

“Those who can’t do, teach” is such a fucked up phrase used to diminish educators tireless, intelligent, brilliant work in a mainly woman dominated profession and its still used to put our profession down.
