Notice how Trump and Republicans were having the worst couple weeks in the administration's history and they decided to pivot to hardcore attacking trans people?

The amazing, luxurious feeling when your relative who refused to use they/them pronouns for you uses them to talk about their singleton, unknown sex pregnancy in a Facebook post. AND all the transphobes from your hometown comment in support of the person. Feeling very good; not angry at all /sarcasm

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Under the most conservative estimates, according to NPR, Israel has killed a Palestinian every fifteen minutes this year.

EVERY. FIFTEEN. MINUTES.

Please read this thread if you care about your right to self-expression, gender affirming care (guess what babes, that includes birth control, breast augmentation, Botox, hair plugs, low-T treatments, etc.), or trans rights. We have to fight together or they will destroy us all.
As an old who survived the 80s when many many did not:

These fascist freaks are perfectly serious and now, like then, we will not let them win.
Rep. Ronny Jackson calls to forcefully mass institutionalize trans people and calls them a cancer.

You might ask: who is the Trump administration targeting? Here’s one story.

Madonna “Donna” Kashanian, a 64-year-old Iranian woman who has lived in the U.S. for 47 years, was detained by ICE while gardening outside her home in New Orleans.

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine.

It's the same court and lawyers.

I just want to say, I think it's a mistake to focus on the fact that Roberts didn't overrule Bostock this time. I get the desire for a silver lining, but trans people and all Americans are rapidly losing our constitutional protections and I think it's a mistake to pretend it's not really happening.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.

No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."

Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."

It's a big step towards very bad things.
