To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:
I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.
Your health care is still legal and protected.
I'll always fight for you.

Do folks understand what is happening to families with trans kids? Do folks not understand this is a matter of life and death? Please check on your trans loved ones today.
1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.
A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.
It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.

This is exactly how Justice Kavanaugh told us things would go, right?
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

the way to protect free speech in this instance is to show solidarity with the trans person being silenced. it's pretty straightforward.

and again, this attack on trans identity has been withering, brutal, and extended. if you are concerned about free speech, you need to be very concerned about a university firing a trans grad student for trying to do her job!

Helping an indigenous farmer survive seems like crucial work in Palestine ❤️
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Nasser. Nasser was a vegetable farmer before this, but the occupation destroyed his home and the farm he worked.
He has four children Muhammad, 11, Jana, 10, Yazan, 8 and little Adam who is only one and was born during the war. He needs help

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Every person in Gaza deserves safety, food, and comfort, but it hits even harder that this could be any of us when I see someone who has my job (lawyer) asking for help. What would you do if your entire economy and infrastructure were blown away? Please help Hazem and others in Molly's feed.
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hazem. Hazem was a lawyer before this. He’s been displaced with his family including his daughters Elen, 5 and Ela, 3. He told me he spends most days looking for a job or a way to raise money for his family but he needs help ❤️

Please help my friend Esam. He keeps losing his account and has had barely any donations in ten days.

Folks, people in Gaza are still starving and you can help! Check out Molly's feed for lots of links where you can donate to hungry families.
I know that it’s because of the ceasefire but all the donations stopping right when there are actual affordable food in the markets is rough for people

Listening to Voodoo driving to and from high school in my 1997 Honda Civic was the moment I went from child to adult. And as an adult, Black Messiah has really kept me company (as Voodoo still does!). A real artist. May his memory be a blessing.
