#Texas accounted for 20% of all anti-LGBTQ+ bills filed in 2023. This is an assault on equality and human rights. We refuse to accept discrimination! Together, we will overcome and protect our LGBTQ+ community. bit.ly/42FtZAQ

Giving cops more and more money is not a zero sum game. Defunding infrastructure, schools, healthcare, housing, and other services at the expense of failed, ineffective police exacerbates the root causes of crime. The safest communities have the most resources, not cops.

The #Republican party shamelessly attacks colleges and universities by banning diversity offices in #Texas, using it as a scapegoat to rally their base. They are undermining, demonizing, and promoting their ignorance onto future generations. #HigherEd

"There are more states with bans than there are openly trans athletes." In my experience, every debate that begins with trans participation ends with trans existence. theguardian.com/world/2023/jun…

This whole thread, but yes, this reflects exactly how I feel. Never have I been as in-touch with my own mortality. I measure my life in micromorts now, calculating how best to make use of what I have left. Before I was simply drifting into an early grave, in denial of what I was.

As a small-town Texas trans person, this made me happy. A reminder that IRL and away from politics & media most ppl are decent and just want to live & let live.
