I got to rant on racism, patriarchy, and overemphasis on the nuclear family to @rollingstone.com to defend Cardi B, who's being criticized with the classic attacks on Black mothers. Maybe the problem isn't unwed pregnancies its systemic racism & EVERYTHING ELSE!

The Backlash to Cardi B's Pregnancy Is Rooted in Old, Racist Ideas

Online critics who lashed out at Cardi B's pregnancy announcement were echoing old, racist stereotypes about broken families and single mothers

Honored to be one of the queer activists depicted with @chosenfamilylaw.bsky.social. My usual paid corporate pride talks dried up this year. We pivoted to speaking at drag shows & tabling to spread the word about how to protect each other. It was incredible, better.

We WILL take care of us always.❤️‍🔥

Today’s ruling is a devastating loss for transgender people and our families, and an affront to the Constitution.

We'll continue to fight alongside trans youth in Tennessee and across the nation for the health care they deserve.

Graphic with an image of Sonia Sotomayor that reads:"By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims.
In sadness, I dissent."

Today, we’re focused on remembrance, reflection — and resistance.

June 12 marks nine years since the Pulse nightclub tragedy, a dark reminder of the ugliness & hate endured by LGBTQIA+ people.

We stand in solidarity with survivors & invite you to stand with us this Pride.

URGENT! The "nonprofit killer bill" is being voted on in House Ways & Means at 2p today (Tues). The bill gives the government sweeping power to strip 501(c)(3) status from any organization — no due process, no trial, just a designation.

Nonprofits are the heart of the resistance. PLS CALL & SHARE!

Fight for the Future @fightforthefuture.org · May 12

WE NEED CALLS NOW! HR 9495, now known as Section 112209, if passed, would give the Trump administration unprecedented power in suppressing nonprofits, by allowing the administration the power to strip organizations of their tax exempt status!

Call 319-313-7674
