If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

A script you can use if you’re not good at speaking on the spot.

I'm calling to demand that Senator Schumer not allow Donald Trump to take away access to transgender health care for anyone, let alone people with federal or state health insurance.
Trans healthcare is lifesaving medicine. It is not cosmetic or frivolous; it is miraculous and it is vital.
It is not something trans people can just go without.
[You can add a personal anecdote here-how it has helped you or someone you love, how long you've been receiving trans healthcare, etc.J Trans people are also over twice as likely to live in poverty, which means they are often receiving this care through government-funded programs. They simply cannot afford it otherwise. If this care is lost, trans American lives will be lost too. This is the truth.
If none of this stirs the Senator's compassion, please understand that trans people are, as a group, politically active, and they are rarely Republicans. The Senator should understand that if he caves and allows Trump to do this to us, it would be a betrayal of his constituents at an unforgivable level. If he caves, I will never vote for a Democrat again. I will not vote for a Democrat for president, for senator, for dogcatcher. This is a promise.

I know people say TACO, but Folks, Go Renew your Meds RIGHT NOW, and get the max amount of Refils that you can, and the max amount you can be prescribed tomorrow.

Get them filled ASAP.

“Starting October 1st, 2025, we will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any branded or patented Pharmaceutical Product, unless a Company IS BUILDING their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant in America.”

Trump: Starting October 1st, 2025, we will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any branded or patented
Pharmaceutical Product, unless a Company IS BUILDING their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant in America. "IS BUILDING" will be defined as, "breaking ground" and/or "under
construction." There will, therefore, be no Tariff on these Pharmaceutical Products if construction has started. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

BEANZIE ☭🇵🇸🔻🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @b3anz1e.bsky.social · Aug 9

here's more background on the story that Norm MacDonald made fun of here, and a link to an archived version of the letter that "Brandon Teena & Friends" wrote to Saturday Night Live & NBC in response to Norm's transphobic joke:
www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/files/b2773v...

pleuvoire on tumblr:
"regular plea for people to stop using this as a reaction image"
(photo of Norm MacDonald on SNL's Weekly Update. he says, 'Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story should die.')
"[ID: A white man in a suit who is saying, 'Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story should die'. End ID]
this is a real sentence that was said by a during an sl skit by the guy in the picture (norm macdonald) in response to a real news story - specifically, the murder of brandon teena, a trans man, whose death macdonald is mocking here. this very sentence that has now been turned into a meme prompted a trans rights org to picket the noc in absence of any apology_ from them (the statement here slightly misquotes the sentence, but you can find video demonstrating that the wording in the image is what he said). i've used this as a reaction image in the past when i didn't know the history behind it but i think more people should know and we should stop using it like this"

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator
