When everything gets overwhelming, I make a point to seek out the natural world.

The trees and mountains stand witness to the fact that every despot and petty tyrant is nothing to the grandness of it all.

It truly is healing to me.

Not gonna lie, it's really good to see Obama saying not to capitulate and to lose your federal funds instead of doing fascism willingly.

Too many organizations have been throwing LGBTQ+ people under the bus to save their funding from Trump.

They still lose their funding, I might add.
Obama calls on citizens, colleges and law firms to resist Trump agenda
In a campus speech, the former president said universities should be prepared to lose federal funds to defend academic freedom, rather than be “intimidated.”

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

I see droves of my trans brothers and sisters making plans and raising money to flee. Passports being denied. This isn't America. This is already something else.

Old enough to remember when they kicked my wife out for "decorum" for stating that anti-trans laws harm trans kids.

Now you got Nancy Mace out there yelling "tranny tranny tranny" into the microphone.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

For those unaware, in 1933, the first major Nazi book burning was of the first 30 years of research into trans and queer people, far before the concentration camps.

Now, Trump has digitally burned the government's research on the same.

Can @andybeshearky.bsky.social start doing daily briefings again to get us through these "unprecedented times". I need someone to balance out the chaos. I need his catch phrases back in my life. "You can't be doing that!"

How is someone supposed to quit smoking in this political environment?! I went two days before I gave in to the chaos.

So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities.

When we said transphobia affects cis people too, well... here you go.

Major news:

Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth.

It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle"

I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades.

Shameful.

1/ Bureaucracy is never fun, but for trans people, it can be downright hostile. With just days until Trump takes power, the Biden administration quietly added a major hurdle to updating Social Security documents. 🧵

Starting over on a new social media in my thirties feels a bit overwhelming, but if I can learn to code on MySpace at 16 to get the perfect MCR background I think I can handle this.
