UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The site was taken down after the host was sent a cease and desist by PPSE attorneys

whoserisa.bsky.social @whoserisa.bsky.social · 3d

There is an excellent breakdown on the site but here's the gist:
- A real estate agent/HR consultant with no repro experience was hired by a board member then quickly became interim CEO with no visible hiring process
- She's also a trustee at an extremely conservative, anti-LGBTQ+ college

Planned Parenthood Southeast has been taken over by anti abortion …real estate agents. It is dark and awful and you should learn about it and sign the petition and demands that @ppfa.org DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT sites.google.com/keacali.com/...

the bad bunny superbowl meltdown is proof positive that conservatives just hate fun things and good vibes

Also:
- Where the hell was the hiring due diligence and where the hell was/is @ppfa.org to ensure this didn't happen; they should not have been allowed to get this far
- Only people who know their safety is not in question would fire the security team of an abortion access clinic 👀

- One new senior leader asked the team to partner with Students for Life, one of the largest anti-abortion advocacy orgs

- She then hired fellow conservative school alums/real estate colleagues to key positions at PPSE, while firing the org's security team
- Long standing leadership have all been pushed out, replaced by vocally anti-abortion activists, with public conservative voting records and "traditional" values

Thinking about the man I saw this weekend tabling at an event wearing a shirt that said ABOLITIONIST. But it was actually a church’s table and he was standing next to a sign that said ABOLISH ABORTION and I said no thank you

So last week when I said I was done holding my tongue on Planned Parenthood it was because I learned #ppse laid off most of the regions policy staff. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. www.saveppse.com

My father found teensy tinsy kittens in one of their barns.

The next 45 minutes were spent explaining to my niece why she can’t have 4 more cats (they already have 5 + a dog)
