Today, LaTonya Reeves is announcing that she is primarying Ilhan Omar, my current representative.

When asked what LaTonay's pronouns are, LaTonya replies "Black/Queen" because Queen believes that being non-binary is a white thing.

This is a big part of why I'm working to unfuck the DFL.

the masses would kill me if i speak about how i think the "boymoding" joke wave has actually contributed to a lot of trans women on this site finding a humourous way to self-harm

I have chronic doesn't-have-enough-money disease. Even though I'm being paid the highest hourly wage I've ever made, I still don't have enough money to pay for all the bills that are due in December.

Worth noting that these are by and large in black and brown communities. That's a whole lot in Cedar-Riverside, Near North, and North, as well as along Franklin and Lake. Nothing south of Lake is really telling.
I just went on a bike ride verifying and entering locations of MPD and Hennepin County Sheriff ALPR cameras so DeFlock should be pretty accurate for Minneapolis now deflock.me/map#map=13/4...

Tonight, the Department of Homeland Security announced that on Tuesday they detained 14 of our neighbors on immigration charges. What they initially reported as a targeted criminal enforcement action was in fact an identity-based raid on people who had done nothing but show up for work that day.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️, we remember the lives of trans people who were taken by violence, hate, and discrimination.

There is an epidemic of violence against transgender women of color in the United States that must be addressed. 1/

Good evening all. For this year's Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR), TFR remembers three transfeminine authors who passed away this year: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (78), Valerie Amelia Thompson (38), and Michelle Duff (85) 🖤

We also remember 367+ victims of anti-trans violence and suicide 🕯️

tonight i lit a candle and sat with my girlfriend, alternating reading the names from this year's TDOR list. it was hard. the ritual of it all helped, though.

i need to live. as many of us as possible need to live. it's our duty to honor the ones we've lost by living, and by living as ourselves.

if you're transgender, your first duty is to live. if youve got anything to give after that, your second duty is to help someone else live, because it's not easy and no one but you and I and those like us will ever understand. your third duty, if you can make it that far, is to live happily.

It's Give to the Max Day and TDOR, so if I may have a minute:

The work I'm doing for with the DFL has turned out to be emotionally exhausting and I'm very grateful for the help that has allowed me to pay the person running our instagram and doing graphic design and put aside funds for printing.

If you're a cis person looking for ways to connect with the Trans Day of Remembrance, here's a list of suggestions:

1) Money. Give money to trans people. Especially to black trans people. Save the speeches and the somber memes. Give. Money. Not to the Trevor Project, to trans people.

End of list.
