BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds.
While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

the taking out of the rivers of america is the worst thing that is happening to wdw since the gutting of classic epcot in the mid-late 90s and it kind of drives me insane thinking about it. i wish i had the money to fly out there to get photos and sound recordings and see it one last time.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.
This is a major win for public health.

It's amazing that amusement parks are replacing all their cool physical effects and animatronics with endless screens and we're all just lying down like worms and accepting it. Build more insane dirty little robots for me NOW 🤬😡

1. A major bill protecting trans people just passed in Washington.
It makes insurers cover 12-month supplies of HRT which can be obtained at pharmacies, allowing trans people to stockpile medication to outlast supply disruptions.

hi, cis folks!
if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.
~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.
that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

For Black History Month, I will post a daily primary source about a Black resident of 18th-century Massachusetts.
1. Miss Betty Cooper, who was considered male by her enslavers, but was “well known” enough that they did not publish any physical description when she self-emancipated in 1771.
