In light of the recent allegations resurfaced and levied against one of our own in the community, deadass shame on y'all for giving those accusations any room to breathe or discuss.

Meaning every vote would finally come down to accountability, not automatic party-line rubber-stamping. Please vote and spread the word. Flipping this seat won’t be easy.

There’s an important election happening this week in Tennessee. MAGA is fearful that flipping the 7th District seat could shrink their House majority to a zero-vote margin.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

I have to say; if I was a Coastie, I’d be out. Talk about demeaning the service. They shit on everything all of you stood for. I know there’s a lot of assholes and racists in there now but damn. Y’all just laid down and opened your mouths. I’m honestly sad to see I was right about this.
The Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols.
This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive."
They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."
This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

It’s worth noting that the President-Elect of Ireland got twice as many votes as the right wing runner-up. The latter introduced transphobia* & US style smear tactics to an Irish presidential election, for the first time. Connolly, a Queer advocate, won by 63% to the right’s 30%. Transphobia fail.
President-Elect Catherine Connolly, meets President Michael D Higgins at Áras an Uachtaráin
The two former socialist politicians have received the highest ever number of votes in Irish history, in their respective elections. This year is the 14th & final for Michael D’s term.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.
Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
