"I do not believe that we should turn our backs on the trans community in any way, shape, or form. I’ve been very proud to sponsor legislation that has increased trans healthcare and access to trans healthcare for our trans siblings here in the city."

Chi Ossé Is Tired of the Same Old Nonsense

From Kirsten Gillibrand (“she should resign”) to Eric Adams (“a power-hungry, egotistical man”) to the Democratic establishment, NYC’s Gen Z political star doesn’t hold back.

Lemme be succinct for a minute then I'll log off because this is pointless:

The pro-natalist thing is pretty firmly rooted in racism and xenophobia. Anti-immigration sentiment.

You are doing a service to it if you try to remove that component and debate its merits in isolation.

They're taking away your healthcare to protect pedophiles is about as brutal a messaging combination punch as you will ever get

Now if you look at where we are today and how it is literally impossible to go a single day without some news story about how we are a social plague or violent terrorists or disgusting perverts

Think about the toll

Not just on us who are out, but the folks who are still trapped where I was

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Extra funny when you think about how Sinners, which features Michael B. Jordan gunning down Klansmen in broad daylight in slow-mo, is the 10th highest-grossing R-rated film of all time - higher than The Hangover, 300, Logan, John Wick 4, etc....

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Hi, I'm Julie!
After being fired in February I moved from North Carolina to be safe in Oregon because I am trans.

I can get access to my lifetimes worth of belongings if I can raise the rest of money needed to finish paying the movers.

They do, but they did this to Obama and it led to Trump.

Biden especially should have known better.

I blame them for making it possible for republicans to block it in the midterms instead of simply making it last 4 years.

The child tax credit that was paid monthly cut child poverty in half.

And then it went away in 2022 because the democrats were not smart enough to make sure it lasted Biden's entire term or longer.

They need to go to jail for a long time.

You can't let people get away with genocide and ripping up the constitution if you don't want them to keep doing it.

The trans debate is crazy when you've read any of the papers. Like, it's one thing to know because it's my own lived experience but it's always possible you're an outlier, right? So I've tried to keep up with things this whole time and it's just... nah, man, we're right? We know ourselves.

I was 6'3" and 180 pounds in high school.

I stopped working out in college and lost 10 pounds the first year.
