Well, of course! Let’s “pause” Black History Month, Juneteenth, Holocaust Day, Women’s History Month and Pride. In its place? White History Year, Manly Man Year, Why Wasn’t the Final Solution Final Day, Women Is Nasty (women of color nastier) Month; and I Am the Lord Thy God Eternity.
The harm to LGBTQ2S+, as your lives are being turned upside down, is heartbreaking. As I understand it — but you would want to doublecheck — Canada grants refugee status to LGBTQ2S+ who are at risk in their home countries. I hope this will include American refugees. Canada benefits from the strength and courage of our refugees.
Schools can't function without federal funds. Small organizations can't afford big lawsuits. It is all going to be up to the legal nonprofits (Democracy Forward, ACLU) and the courts.
I don't know what else to say. This is a nightmare? I said that 8 days ago (and each day since). This horrifying (said that already too). I felt sick last night, I feel sick again tonight.
But I won't give up. That doesn't solve anything. Shame on the organizations that are complying in advance.
If listening to other voices equal to your own and elevating those historically held down threatens you, maybe it would be a good idea to figure out why?
Djt isn't just ending DEI programs are refocusing government priorities. His administration is trying to crush transgender people into the dust. What would Jesus say? We just want to be left alone.
Please get out your bible and re-read the books Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Where is the passage where Jesus would approve of crushing us? Or are you not a Christian?
Individual transgender people don't control what's going on in the media. Individual transgender people don't set policies. I'm not trying to shove anything up anyones ass. You've won the political battle against those who do. The rest is just cruelty.
So what is going to be the response that’s up to it? We should have been planning for this entirely unsurprising turn of events ever since Trump announced again. We are years behind. We are allergic to using power.
No institution will help us. Very few, to be precise. So what?
I really wonder whether this unwarranted shock is the precursor of righteous rage or just cover for retreat into self care.
Again: These. People. Will. Destroy. Your. Children’s. Future. Are we all just going to give up? So far, yes.
Take chunks out of these scumbags—and don’t wait for anyone, especially the Democrats. Who cares if we win? I doubt we will. Raise the cost. Make them fucking work at it instead of fluffing them like these pathetic institutions.
I just got this report on my local Discord in Wisconsin "I messaged the Froedtert inclusion clinic and they responded that they stand with every clients right to affirming care. That is 15 and up."
Public info indicates Denver Health is having financial problems. I hope they are an outlier.
I'm horrified and alarmed by all of this and am very worried so I don't mean to be unalarmist, I'm just sharing information.
Yes, it is a nightmare, and Trump is viciously targeting trans youth, a small group and one that has many other enemies. However, he is also targeting many other, and much larger groups. Employers whose profits depend on exploiting immigrant workers are not going to stand for having that spigot turned off. And dudebros who have access to casual sex that relies on contraception with abortion as a backup are not going to stand for having *that* spigot turned off.
In 1956 Khrushchev said Russia would destroy America from within and without firing a shot. Putin must be relishing this moment.
We Americans wrongly and tragically assumed that our democracy was forever. We’ve ignored all the warnings. We’ve taken it for granted like a love relationship that requires commitment and attention.
Talk about deep state, they’re even pausing many of our holidays and days and months of remembrances and education. They really hate America!
We have to remind ourselves how frightened and insecure this group is, how desperate they are, but also how emboldened they feel to attempt to tear down and remake America in the image of Musk’s hero.
We must find a way to muster a sustained comprehensive resistance! We must!
I fear that our America is becoming Nazi Germany all over again, only he is not torturing news, he is torturing all of us who do not fit his mold...RICH STREIGHT WHITE MALES!!! We all know what needs to happen to the oligarchs....
I can just SEE the lessons now to be given. "Martin Luther King Jr. is known for protesting things we are not allowed to talk about, which is why Monday is a day off."

I am so disappointed how quickly organizations and schools are to stop any support for queer people. All it took was a little threat of federal funds.
Schools can't function without federal funds. Small organizations can't afford big lawsuits. It is all going to be up to the legal nonprofits (Democracy Forward, ACLU) and the courts.
More likely firing everybody and razing their offices to the ground. "Enemies of the people!"

You are a brainwashed and ignorant fool who fell for facism. I sincerely hope you find help.

Sorry about that; that account has been banned.
I totally understand, that kind of thing is inevitable sadly. Thanks for taking action once you saw it!
And, thanks for everything you are doing every day keeping us information. You rock!
Donald Trump wields a gilded shovel to break ground for a “labor camp” in Texas: “Work will make you free,” he says with a smile.
i feel sick

It’s amazing how many people are advocating this horror.
This is awful. We knew he was going to do these things, and a minority of voters elected him, helped by a lot of lies paid for by Elon Musk
America put a gun to its head 11/05/24 and now it has pulled the trigger. The patient is not expected to survive.
