The bill has no sponsors and is likely to die, but is another sign that the bullies are pushing boundaries, trying to see what they can get away with.

Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail
The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.

BREAKING NEWS: In what appears to be a protest of the flag bill the Utah legislature passed blocking government buildings from flying "non-sanctioned" flags, Salt Lake City has lit the City & County Building in Pride rainbow colors. #utpol

It’s cringey, but I really do think a way forward for the left is to reclaim America’s flag; to “America” harder than the maga crowd.
If we cede that symbol, it means whatever they want it to mean and stops standing for what it always has: liberty from oppressive regimes and equality under the law

Today I attended a rally in protest of HB77, which bans Pride flags in Utah public bldgs. I was hesitant to bring my American flag, but I’m glad I did. The American flag does not belong to the fascists, it will never belong to them. #utahpride #patriotism #resist #fucktheutahlegislature

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Finally.
A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States.
I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it.
It is NOT just for athletes.

In the early days of stable diffusion, I tried to take the position that it was “just another tool”. After a month I didn’t feel like a better artist. I didn’t feel like I made any “art”. I felt empty.
It’s cool. It has its uses, but the new medium to revolutionize how we make art it wasn’t

“Porn” is a public good.
“Porn” is the sign of a healthy, open society.
“Porn” is record of the diversity of sexual expression.
“Porn” brings people joy, access to parts of themselves that they may not have another way to express.
It’s worth defending on its own.

The future is unknown, uncertain, perhaps frightening. But no matter what darkness may lurk before us, there will be glories along the way. Acts of bravery, acts of kindness, honorable deeds that will be remembered in better times. We will rise together, one day, to sing songs of glorious victory.

Just called my senators and representatives (state and federal) over the widespread attack on transgender people.
I encourage you all to give yours a call. You probably won’t have to talk to a person and it’s easier than you think it is. Call them every day until they act. It takes five minutes
