19 Nov 2025 -- Continuing Pope Francis's tradition, Pope Leo invites trans women to World Day of the Poor lunch but then doesn't sit with them, seating them at other tables. Leo has already spoken out against the “homosexual lifestyle” and gay families. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

1. There's a lot of confusion about this out there. Let me make it easier:
There are two ways to keep the government open: The full FY26 appropriations bill for the entire year, and a continuing resolution to keep it open for a few months at current levels.
Both are part of negotiations right now.

im a little confused re: the government shutdown bc the CR being argued over seems different than the house's appropriations bill (which contains the trans healthcare hyde amendment thing) that was introduced earlier this month but some outlets are reporting on them as tho they are the same?

I called Gillibrand and Schumer’s offices about not accepting any budget “deal” that strips away gender affirming care. I got through to both offices easily, which suggests that they are not getting enough calls. Here’s a great script.

It’s a good time to let your reps, neighbors, friends, and family know that trans rights are human rights and must be defended.
I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.
The Right’s Baseless Project to Link Trans People With Extremism
A campaign for the FBI to adopt a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism” is less about law enforcement than politics.
