I should have posted this sooner for #pride
This is a Modified Minnesota pride flag I put together in may as a small lapel pin for my VRChat avatar.
I made the design to include the intersex flag symbol because I hadn't seen that included on local MN pride flag designs.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

The far right just wants power and they’re silencing anyone who can challenge them.
Nobody cared about us until politicians saw how lucrative transphobia is. They tried these same tactics before and failed with people of color, women, Muslims, and immigrants. They stuck with us because we’re rare.

1. New federal rules were released last week banning gender affirming care for youth at hospitals nationwide.
Those rules don't go into effect until public comment, months from now.
But it appears Sec. Kennedy is using an arcane process to try to implement them immediately.

HHS Sec. Kennedy Attempts To Stop Trans Youth Care In Hospitals Nationwide—Before New Federal Rules Take Effect
Like many of the Trump regime’s attempted powergrabs, this kind of piecemeal and disheveled rulemaking is enforced at least in part by fear and sheer uncertainty.

Here's an example of how useless and frustrating internet laws to "protect kids" are in practice: When I'm in Ohio, where I am during the holidays, I can't use my Bluesky DMs—unless I hand over my ID to a company owned by Epic Games. Why? To protect kids, of course!

This is about truth and justice—for victims and survivors. These subpoenaed photos from the Epstein estate are deeply disturbing and raise serious questions about who knew what, and when—which is exactly why the files need to be released.
The Epstein Files Act is law. Trump can release them today.

1. A new Florida bill would make it illegal for State, County, and Local employers and special districts from firing transphobes.
It would apply to airports, hospitals, even parts of Disneyworld.
It also establishes a private business "don't say gay" policy.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.
