Trans man. Left to my own devices I'd be making mead and playing with my friends and chosen family in the woods. Choosing kindness as my strength. Pet cats, lift heavy, laugh in the teeth of despair.

The regime has announced two proposed rules intended to make it extremely difficult (if not impossible) for trans youth to receive the healthcare they need.
We expect robust legal challenges to these hate-filled proposals and are actively engaged with organizations on the frontlines of this fight.

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months.
It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

I love that twitter nazis pretended the left was upset about Clinton being in the files and it turns out not even Clinton cares. I like to think someone had a chat with him and it was like "everyone already knows you're a fucking creep. this is your last chance to look good before you die"
Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.
