If someone tells you they'll vote Democratic if you throw Trans folk under the bus; a) they're lying to your face; b) next they'll tell you to throw someone else under the bus to get their vote; c) they'll be lying then, too.

No one's gonna vote for caffeine free diet fascist.

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.

This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

“[t]omorrow I get to find out if I’m illegal.”

Spoken by a precious Trans girl, the night before the presidential election. She ended her life in January, after trump's order to end medically necessary affirming care for adolescents. This is murder. (St. of Wash, et al., v Trump, et al., Jan7)

i am so tired of seeing people do the absolute bare minimum to support their trans friends, who are at risk of violence and even death from all these federal policy changes

if you’re not speaking loudly and consistently about this right now, you’re not helpful and in fact are useless

As the expected Christian Nationalism EO came in, I’m seeing a bunch of “this isn’t real Christianity” noise in my mentions.

Nope.

Christian friends. 1/x 🧵

This is 💯 part of the history of Christianity, dating to Constantine, to the Holy Roman Empire, forced conversions, Inquisitions, +

Dems can:

-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Erin Reed: For those unaware, in 1933, the first major Nazi book burning was of the first 30 years of research into trans and queer people, far before the concentration camps.

Now, Trump has digitally burned the government's research on the same.
These are the same picture.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities.

When we said transphobia affects cis people too, well... here you go.
