CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage. This isn’t just a couple stores in the South. There is a systematic attack on the gay community happening across the country. Wake up America. This doesn’t stop here. You’re black? You’re Asian? You’re Jewish? You’re a woman? You’re next.
Target is removing certain LGBTQ and Pride month merchandise from its stores nationwide after an intense backlash from some customers, including violent confrontations with its workers. trib.al/Ex7TtRT

You only think that "cis" is a slur because you use "trans" that way.

Ralph Paul Yarl was picking up his two siblings. He went to the wrong house in Kansas City, Missouri. The White man who opened the door did not see a lost 16-year-old boy. He saw a threat. Shot Ralph, twice. Once in the head to kill him. Somehow Ralph survived. 1/

This afternoon, conservative campus group Intercollegiate Studies Institute reached out to offer me $10,000 to debate Michael Knowles at the University of Pittsburgh on the validity of trans people. I declined. Posting my full response here for the sake of transparency.

With over 450 hate-fueled bills moving through state legislatures across the country, inaction isn’t an option. We’re building a movement to elect leaders who will support trans youth & defeat those who don’t. Join us. #DontLegislateHate thehill.com/homenews/state-w…

Replying to @JoJoFromJerz
I agree Jo. 60 minutes is giving her a national audience, a racist antisemite, a woman that has spoken at shire supremacist events. It’s like putting the klan on national television

The main thing I think about with Donald Trump is how the weaponization of government to target trans people really began with his Administration. Nearly every piece of anti-trans legislation was road-tested by his agencies,with the #AntiTransHateMachine populating his appointee

As states across the country move to ban access to gender-affirming care, this Executive Order delivers the urgent action that our LGBTQ+ Minnesotans deserve.

REALLY interesting that Will Smith wasn't invited to present Best Actress while Mark Wahlberg is presenting the ensemble award to a film with a predominantly Asian cast when he punched and nearly blinded a Vietnamese man...

“If you think about every 10 teen girls that you know, at least one and possibly more has been raped, and that is the highest level we’ve ever seen,” said Kathleen Ethier, director of @CDC_DASH. “We are really alarmed." wapo.st/3IilvbM

.@laurenboebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws. You don’t get to “thoughts and prayers” your way out of this. Look inward and change.
The news out of Colorado Springs is absolutely awful. This morning the victims & their families are in my prayers. This lawless violence needs to end and end quickly.

- NYT hit piece on trans kids - Texas attempts to round up trans kids and imprison parents - Ohio tries to take away trans Title IX rights, force detransition - TN bill banning drag/trans kids filed Trans "visibility week" isn't enough. It's time for trans resistance.

A majority of white women yet again voted for GOP, the party that took away their rights and endorses hate and cruelty. White women gotta step up and talk to their sisters. Only so much women of color can do.

🚨 Newberg, OR 🚨 3:15am this morning. Vid shows a masked Nazi that walks up to the house and lights a barely visible flag on fire, which bursts into flames, then sieg heils the camera before walking off to the right of the frame.

In coming weeks we will need to begin supporting refugees from Florida. If you are in Florida and need a place to flee, this is my anti-trans legislative risk map. The dark blue-green states are best: California, Massachusetts, CT have passed explicit refugee protections.

A dark day for trans youth. Florida Board of Medicine has just voted to ban gender affirming care for all trans teenagers. They cut the hearing early and told activists to "email them." I cry for Florida's trans youth. This was a sham hearing with fake experts.

Story coming: The Florida Board of Medicine has voted in favor of a rule to bar access to puberty blockers and hormones for trans minors. There is an exception for those who are intersex, or for treatment of conditions not related to gender dysphoria or transition.
