Sam Nordquist’s murder isn’t an isolated event—it’s part of a growing wave of violence against LGBTQ+ people. We must fight back against the rhetoric & policies fueling this hate. Silence is complicity. #SayTheirName

Sam Nordquist should still be alive today.

This horrific, heartbreaking killing comes at a time of heightened nationwide attacks against trans people led by a federal administration hellbent on erasing trans existence.

Black trans lives matter. Trans people will not be erased.

Hey, Fam. We want you to get out and show support tonight. It’s a snow day, so let’s use this free time to be a force of change. Let’s show our local queer youth support.
Due to the incoming snow, there will be no POTP meetup held this evening. Stay safe and warm. See you next week.
Musk's Goons are currently at the Dept of Ed tonight. Trying to get into the computer systems. No need for a bill to dismantle the DOE. He will shut it down just like USAID was today.

The arson attack on Freddie’s Beach Bar is heartbreaking and infuriating. How can we as a community better defend and support LGBTQ+ spaces in the face of rising hate? Share your thoughts. #ProtectLGBTQSpaces
