“The best justification for supporting trans rights is that trans people are real and deserve civil protections. If supporting them was deeply unpopular, it would still be the right thing to do.”

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Not even sure what to say about the latest EO targeting trans women in sports except: fuck that. I’ve played roller derby with trans skaters for years and guess what? IT IS FINE. They’re not scary or threatening! They’re great teammates and people who just wanna skate. Don’t like it, get bent.

I haven’t seen a lot of people talk about this today, so I will say this: trans girls who want to play in the girls’ category deserve a shot at participating in school sports in a way that feels affirming and safe — same as other girls.

One day this will be a given.

The problem with Elon is we can't fire him because we never hired him.

And we can't impeach him because we never put him in office.

But the DC police can arrest him as a private citizen for trespassing next time he barges into federal offices without legit authorization.

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.”

The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Apparently the State Department workers were up late on Friday shoving passports out the door, getting them in the mail, making sure that nobody could pull them back & destroy them.

So many people trying so hard to protect the citizens they work for, & so many people trying so hard to stop them. 😢
So... I got a notification from the State Department at like 8 PM Pacific that my passport was approved, and I was quietly thankful and stunned bc my legal gender is X, and that's what's on my passport. I'm pretty sure someone worked late to get the X passports done today.

Thank you, random worker.
