"Hey trans couple here. Looking for aid paying our rent. We're a couple with a service dog. We escaped bigoted violence. Looking to get our roots set stable so we may continue being able to help others by doing mutual aid to queer unhoused people and dedicate time to our passion of helping."

There is ongoing scam happening posing as a black trans safe house in Texas. The fake org is "Black Trans Texas Connection."

There is an IG page
@blacktransscam

that verifies its nonexistence by checking w local orgs in its supposed operating city of Houston. 👇

This is a call to action:

Be antifascist and remove them from West Hollywood. Do not let them feel safe to spread hate as they try to make us fearful of being openly Queer.

N*zis are organizing to meet in West Hollywood.

This should be taken as a first physical strike against Queer folx at-large. This action will have nationwide rippling effects on how N*zi Amerikkka will treat Queers moving forward.

Kick N*zis out of WeHo. Show them that Queers are tough mfs.

i spoke about the planned N*zi rally planned for this weekend.

This is an attack on Queer folx that will be felt nationwide if we do not stop their hate rally.

If N*zis gain this victory they will use it as precedence to attack all Queers.

Be Gay, be Antifascist.
Be Queer, be Antifascist.

Part 2 of my speech.

Do not let the N*zis claim victory over what some may claim "the Gayest City in America."

If they stand unchallenged, they will feel victorious and start doing more heinous actions. Violence against Queers at-large will grow nationwide.

We hate N*zis, and we should show them.

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure.

Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.
