This world is terrifying for Trans women, Trans men and Non-Binary. (&more)

When everything feels unsafe, everything IS unsafe until it's not.
Same with people.

Labels mean "caution" and frankly, all white women should have one.

We white women in the States are dangerously thoughtless & I was.

Oh look. Someone put me in a transphobic lists.

That's pretty funny considering

Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Non-Binary deserve respect.

Guess I'll just pin this then.

Title X is a program that helps women get things like birth control & cancer screenings.

It was established under RICHARD NIXON. The decision to essentially abolish this office has nothing to do with the shutdown.

This is just another attack on women's basic health care.

Let people leave you.

Let them abandon you.

Let them show you who they are.

So you can truly see who you are.

Where was their empathy for literally EVERYONE else in the country?

Rhetorical. Us white people in the States need to impacted first before we care about anyone other than ourselves.

Sometime in the late 1990s, I arrived home after a particularly frustrating consultation with an organization I was working with at the time. In a flurry of exasperation, I sat down at my computer...

If you have never been to a protest before, and you’re nervous about going to no Kings, but you wanna go, comment below with your concerns.

And if you’ve protested, read the comments, and if you find one that you can alleviate their concern, reply.

Hopefully this will get more people to attend!

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

Democrats also need to stop chasing after them and go after the "poorer, browner, darker, or different gender" folks who didn't vote but are already open to listening to Democratic ideas.

It is easier to put 20 square pegs in 20 empty square holes than to try to force one square in one round hole.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

My question stems from the fact that my fellow white people have a tendency not to think things like whom to support with a vote, all the way through.
There have been many clips of soybean farmers who voted for racism and sexism and now cry they are losing it all.

It's a fair question.

Maybe yes maybe no.

And better? Hell no, but it would not surprise me if they had.

... how did they vote?

I'm just curious.

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Shutdown is costing US economy $15 billion a day, Bessent says

The two-week-old federal government shutdown is costing the U.S. economy about $15 billion a day in lost output, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday, putting an estimate on its economic toll and urging Democrats to "be heroes" and side with Republicans to end it.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 13h

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.
