Our trans youth should be protected, not alienated.

Olivia Data, a high school student and athlete, testified in front of North Dakota lawmakers to say that trans people belong in sports, and deserve a safe and healthy environment.

We'll keep saying it: Trans people belong.

this is one of the best books ive read & as this writer shares, many black women have been threading this needle for a long time. i welcome Resmaa’s exercises into my practice alongside theory from black feminists to shape my understanding & course of action

“To the individuals of the transgender community, young and old: You are loved. Your life has value. You have a purpose. You are supported; and the Democratic-NPL will continue to proudly fight alongside you, because Trans Rights are Human Rights.”

We're here with @VillanuevaEdgar talking about decolonization and how we need to walk against the moving sidewalk of the normalcy of white supremacy #YNPN20

[Chandler Esslinger @CMEsslinger]

thinking a lot about the relationship between harm and the non-profit industrial complex. how do we get in right relationship with communities we serve? what can we learn from transformative justice movements? many good strategies being discussed today #YNPN20

At Mahube-Otwa Community Action Partnership, Liz Kuoppala sees firsthand how rental and mortgage assistance helps families stay in their homes. More Family Homelessness Prevention and Assistance Program funds will keep more Minnesotans safely at home. Support #FHPAP @kuoppala

The Jameela Jamil situation is exactly why POC and LGBTQ as umbrella identifiers is inadequate when it is time to name the REAL hierarchies and complexities of ID when marginalized people are violent, exploitative and hurtful towards Black LGBTQ people in particular

[Hari Ziyad @HariZiyad]

Not to take away from her journey to queerness, but this statement by Jameela Jamil defending her casting as a judge on a voguing competition show as a then-closeted person with no connection to the ballroom scene really highlights the fallacy of “using one’s privilege for good.”

I am glad that @ewarren said she was sorry today for the the harm that she caused, but without her using her platform and power to repair that harm the apology falls flat. What does she need to do next? I'm gonna get specific... #THREAD

Just in case you didn’t catch that: ICE kidnapped kids.

It warrants repeating til y’all wake the fuck up: there is a direct connection between ICE and human trafficking!

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

The murders of Black trans women in America are a crisis. We must call it out and fight back, until everyone is free to be who they are without fear. Say her name: Denali Berries Stuckey. https://t.co/wXTAseFfio
