Y'all. Can we please, please, drop the leftist vs liberal crap?
We can stop trying to assign blame for how we got here.
The only ones truly to blame are the ones who voted for their beloved dictator, and the billionaires who brainwashed them.

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

Ok so it’s especially vile that Vance created an account on the Trans people website and started posting about trans people on the day that the Supreme Court betrayed trans people.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share.

These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

Trans and being told by your employer you can no longer use the toilets at work (especially if not out to all your colleagues)?

To be clear, I'm not suggesting being trans is like a job, or that losing a job, even a beloved career, is anywhere close to what trans folks are facing right now.

Mom @kidsh8mycooking.bsky.social · May 7

This is the best way I can think to explain to a cis person who doesn't understand why their trans friends are struggling right now.

To my trans friends, I see you, I hear you, I love you.
They can't take away who you are, no matter how hard they try.

all other teachers are lying about who they are.
You think surely, surely the Supreme Court, the fair and balanced interpreters of the law that they have pledged to be, will see the injustice and prejudice in this declaration.

And they don't.
Now you are told, "You are not a real teacher."
