Cecilia Gentili was a fearless advocate for trans people and sex workers. She successfully helped to repeal New York’s “Walking While Trans” law that police unjustly used to stop and frisk countless trans women.
Cecilia passed away in 2024, but her legacy lives on in our fight for liberation.

Whether it’s freaking out about the new Cracker Barrel logo or some other bogeyman, remember this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture wars are meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

True then and true now.
One of my favorite annual @democracynow.org traditions is that we always play this video of James Earl Jones reading Frederick Douglass's speech "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?"
If you've never read or heard the speech, it's well worth your time.

But also. Why did he have to say it like that? So much ick.
Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

“Children will be taught not to bully me. Children will be taught that I have a completely normal size and shape of head. Children will be taught not to say I look like if Pinocchio was made by Heinrich Himmler.”
Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding ... we're gonna make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."
